Digital Printing

This was a very exciting day! I had finished all my final digital print designs, and sent the file off to the digital printers.  After waiting for about a week, I received my fabric in the post and I have never been so excited to get a parcel!!

I printed my designs onto silk twill which I have used in the past.  The fabric makes the colours look so vibrant and amazing as well as having a good drape and touch.  My plan is to create six dress fronts and six fabric fronts for the Indigo trade show in Paris.  All twelve designs will have a combination of digital and hand printed textile techniques..

Here are the pictures of the finished designs still all together and not yet cut up...it took a lot of nerve to cut the prints into their final strips ready to be ruffled and created into dress fronts and fabric fronts.

The fabric was too large to photograph it all at once so I had to do it in sections!  I am so proud of my digital prints, they are like a baby to me!!  Unless they are in my sight at all times I feel un easy where they are...haha bit sad I know..I can't wait to create my fronts out of them!!
