expressive print

Thursday may possibly have been my last session in the print room because I need to assemble the ties now ready for embroidery.  I used the time to print on silk - to use for the tippings in the ties.  Lots of colours, layering and expression.
 
It was an progression from the earlier open screen prints inasmuch as I am using the same colours, not to a set design, although I used screenprinted project motifs instead of splashes of colour pushed along with a hairdryer.
 



 My thoughts about the display of my ties have centres around unifying them using digital embroidery on all the ties, using the same font and size of text.  However, having revisited  .... book, I am reminded that I want the ties to have a more surprising and unexpected element and I will revert to the plan to make the ties more diverse in style.

Next I need to design business cards which will double as swing tags.  I will use the same design for labels which might double up as the holding tab on the ties.  I have decided not to develop a web site - it is an unnecessary expense at this stage.  I will however, use a one of my blogs as a public showcase.  The other will remain a study blog.
