Digital Print

I digitally printed 1.5m of fabric this morning which is hopefully being made into a dress, I plan to embellish it with contrasting tones of red and turquoise. I still need to steam the fabric, which will make the colours brighter.

I also started too add little details with crystals to the denim jacket, you can see here on the side tabs.

I want it to be subtle, I'm not sure whether to add a hint of colour to it or not, so I am trying to keep it dark. I wanted to change or cover the buttons and tried wrapping them in different fabrics.

I used black velvet and black cotton, but the material is too thick for the buttons to then function, so I think I am just going to paint them and maybe hotfix over them.

Embroidery Samples

After a few weeks of designing on photoshop, I have started printing out A3 samples of my designs to see how the colours would print out and how bright they would be after they were steamed. I'm really happy with the colours, they have came out really bright which is what I wanted!
The following images are of my fossil repeat, I want my samples to be heavily embellished and want to use a lot of different threads, sequins, beads and 'found' objects like screws and washers. I love these tiny 3mm sequins I have ordered from http://www.josyrose.com/, they are perfect for building up clusters or just adding small hints.
