My Design Process

I chose to use my Eucalyptus flower design as my final piece. This is the design process that I used:

-sketch the design


Sketching with Copic Markers

 

-refine design and chose what colours to use

Final Design



-trace design onto stencil



Stencil



-use Stanley knife to cut out stencil

Cutting out the Stencil

-materials that I used



Jo Sonja's Textile Medium, Acrylic Paints, Fabrics Paint, Stanley Knife, Stencil

-stick stencil to fabric stretched over a wooden frame

First Trial

-use the 'dry brush technique' to apply fabric paint to the fabric

Dry Brush Technique

-first trial (this didn't work because you need a firm back, the fabric over the canvas was to 'bouncy' and the paint bleed through the lines)


First Trial

-second trial, this one had cardboard behind it and it worked much better 

Second Trial

-colour trial


Dark Pink and Grey

 -stencil onto a European pillow case

I am using a European Pillow Case for the Final Design
