Poly Print Experiments - FMP

I did some polyprints for my FMP. I did some of Japanese lettering and Moroccan pottery. These are based on primary imagery. I got some Polyester and then drew my design into it using pressure to make sure the design would show up when printing. I used red and yellow acrylic paint to create these.

I then did multiple prints to create a pattern. I then stitched into them using orange thread. I did a back stitch on these. 

I did the same to create this print, I used blue and green acrylic paint to create these. Then I stitched into the below piece with a back stitch in blue thread. 



Experiments done with Henna - FMP

I did multiple experiements with henna. These were based on secondary imagery I found. I did Moroccan patterns and Japanese Symbols. I did this by applying the henna in the design I wanted, then I waited for it to dry then the paste scrapped off to reveal the stain.  






I then experimented with henna by putting some analinkys on some paper, in Moroccan and Japanese colours. I then applied the henna the same as I did before. These were also based on secondary imagery.
