screen prining

 
I began screen printing and combining motifs onto various textiles today
 - repurposed plain cotton, organic  canvas, organic linen, silk and vintage hankies.  The screenprints should reflect 4th wave feminism by illustrating text and technology, bright colours to reflect energy .  I am pleased with the Cherry Red and the Bright Royal, but the Petrol Green isn't fresh enough.  I added the yellow as an afterthought but it doesn't hold up against the red and blue.

I am endeavouring to build a collection which share similarities and  differences - stripes, repeat patterns, scale and purpose.  Early days yet.
