screen printing




These screen printed scarves were inspired by creating more of a pattern with the floral or branches and gives more interest to a smaller scale bird print.

My favourite here is the second print with florals because I feel there is less white space and more texture. However, because this screen was smaller, and 5 layers of colour, it took a few more hours to complete. This print was on a silk crepe which has a good weight for a summer scarf and some texture. I also did this print on a blue dyed wool, where I used pigment and then discharged over the top of the motifs, (below). However, I prefer the white crepe print because it is brighter, a clearer print and more summery.
