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.

Sellotape Prints For Risk Project (Core Work)






For these I used: sellotape, masking tape, parcel paper, thread, fabric, tissue paper, ink and letter printing blocks. I created mixed media outcomes with these. I think these are quite bold because of the colours and tones used. I placed different papers where the sellotape prints are to create emphasis on the print itself. I think these look very moody because of the coloured used. I also think these have a slightly decayed feel because of the ripped paper. The health and safety issues are that you could hurt yourself on the needles end. These experiments are based on primary imagery. I developed the first ones by creating the other three with different materials such as inks and which prints underneath. The strengths of these are the tones I created with the sallotape prints and lino prints. The areas I could improve are: that i could add more materials such as added glue entrapments on top to create different textures that are layered.
