Below are a selection of print designs I have been creating in response to my weaving and rust research. I have developed an interest in repetition, the beauty of multiples, the rhythm of repetitive processes. Along side this I enjoy graduating colours, warm, rustic and bright colours. I love the way they lok hand drawn, repeats lik these can be created on a computer but they wouldn’t produce the same feelings and look as these.

All of the fabrics I have designed this year at uni have been for interiors, mostly window treatments. Here I have displayed and photographed the fabrics in context so that I can get an idea of how well they sit within that context. I found it difficult to photograph the fabric in front of the window because of the way the light comes through. Putting them into context has allowed me to evaluate how they are working and how I can improve them for my next set of weaves. I am pleased with how they look in front of a window although there are a few adjustments I would like to make. For example using a Leno and increasing the contrast between the transparency in the fabrics.
