For this part of the module we had to pick a period style which we were wanting to use within our work. I chose Rococo as it is my favorite period style...Above are my rococo influenced visual research sheets.
From these visual research sheets we had to design repeat patterns for our furnishing fabric. All of my designs are half drop repeats but some of them have different repeat sizes depending on the imagery I have used within them.
Once I had chosen which of the above designs I wanted to produce into a furnishing length, I had to create my design in repeat by drawing it repeatedly onto graph paper.
From the graph I then had to produce a koda-trace which is then exposed onto a silk screen ready to be printed onto my 3 metre length. Below are some photos of my koda-trace and screen.
Here is my final 3 metre printed furnishing fabric....
