Marbling samples

Here I used inks with water as well as soap to create a bubble effect. I have also digitally edited the photographs of them to enhance their vividness and colour. I really like the colours where I have inverted them which created dark blues with accents of shocking pink or orange.

Marbling

Fabulous macro-photographs taken by Cliff Briggie are full of colour and are the perfect example of the marbling effect I am looking to achieve on a digitally printed scarf. Although I wish to create my imagery with my own photographs, drawings and editing using photoshop, Cliff Briggie creates the marbling with layers of inks, sometimes ice and macro photography.

Geology inspiration

Inspired by the marbled effect and interesting texture of minerals such as these, which i came across in Norwich Castle Museum, I hope to develop these photos through drawings and photoshop to finalise an idea which will be digitally printed onto a silk scarf.
