Prints on Cotton Velvet

This is my favourite cotton velvet sample. The dye worked well and the pigments came through clear and bold  through the screen. I didn't use the rose screen on this sample and think it looks better with out that screen. I like how the screens aren't lined up exactly and the shadowing effect it gives.

This was my least favourite sample. The grey pigment had smudged and  the fabric had got some yellow dye on. I decided to leave this sample after it smudged just to show what the pattern looks like with just the first three screens.

This sample matched up really well, although having experimented  with other colours, I found that I preferred the pigments I'd been using previously. I thought the pinks looked slightly tacky next to the grey background. 

For this samples I dyed the fabric using a reddy- brown dye. I liked the brown pigment against the dye but it didn't match well to the hanging sample.
