Chakra Garden (textiles)

I started the screen printing process by making the Spiro-graph screen. I documented this process in my sketch book. I proceeded to then make up a series of print to experiment with the Spiro-graph screens. The first was a pink print on a with martial. I found this to be pain however, I was very happy with the print. next I added colour to the background of the material and then proceeded to print the Spiro-graphs onto the newly coloured material. I found that this looked good, however the Spiro-graph print was lost to the background. This was because of an inaccurate use of the colour wheel. I used contrasting colours however the wrong colour was enhanced by this.  

   Next I added a pattern over the top of the Spiro-graph print. This also seemed to take way for the aesthetic of the Spiro-graphs which is the main reason for the textile.

   I then went back to the pain background and layered colours that work well together in this case red and purple. I gig this on a longer piece of martial because I was originally going to do may different prints on this to save space in my book however I like the pattern and that size of the material. This inspired me to make a mini scarf with a similar pattern.

   This was the outcome. I decided that I should add some text to the design. Even though the word energy is obvious it would be hidden when around the neck. I also added so embroidery to the design to incorporate that skills I learned prior.

   Next I'm going to do some more research into the scarf and type.
