Journey (final outcome)

Method: First and foremost this 1 meter length of cotton fabric was stained in golden colour coffee it didn’t come out as dark as I wanted however I feel by using  calico I might have had a greater finish in terms of the background
2. Then by drawing my motif on to the fabric I used the technique mono printing which was basically fairly simple it consisted of getting a piece of metal you can also use paper wallet if no access then rolling on some black lino ink covering the metal completely then depending of what style you want you can use different tools in this case I used the end of a paint brush and transferred the motif on to the fabric    



4. Continuing with the screen I masked off the area I didn’t want to include this time using gold it was a hard process  as it was extremely difficult in lining them  together 




3. Then by using the screen I initially made a sketch of which was then transferred on to the screen by Andy the technician. I used black as I felt it gave more of a ancient elegant finish. I placed the screen on top of the mono printing I did earlier and layering it making frames    









4. Then by doing some free had painting I used a bit of gold and painted in and around the motif giving it a more of an enhanced finish
