repeat length

Here is the image of my first repeat length which I hope to screen print at a size of 75cm by 200cm on a heavy silk. I have taken my drawings and combined them on Adobe photoshop to create this pattern which focuses on British birds. I have created this print with a variety of fashion contexts in mind so that my designs aren't just limited to scarves.

I have tried to reduce my drawings to a maximum of 5 colours so that it will be suitable for screen printing. I have included a variety of birds so that the imagery is more interesting and has different areas of focus and detail.

I have created some simple bird repeats which are more commercially appealing and will be cheaper to screen print because they can be put onto a smaller screen and repeated. I have put together my drawings on photoshop and then colour reduced them for screen printing. Using photoshop for this allows me to look at different colourways very easily and also alter how many layers I have, reducing the colours to as few as possible to make the printing cheaper, but still with tonal and detailed qualities.
