So this week I have been working on developing a design that I could use as a repeating print. It is definitely more complicated than my first attempt, so it is taking much longer to get through the design steps than I had anticipated. I have been working with this design using Adobe Photoshop from collections of brushes that I have downloaded. I've decided that I want to focus more on interior fabrics rather than apparel (my first silk screening attempt).
Also, I am going to try multiple types of fabrics for the screen so I can decide which one works best for me and possibly on different types of surfaces. Below is the image that I have decided on and planning to transfer it to curtains to liven up my apartment a little :)
I'll update with more pics of the work in progress as it comes along!
Your project sounds really cool. I really like that you are using the By Hand project to make something functional for your apartment. Some personally designed curtains would look awesome in an apartment! It's a really good idea and I home it all goes well!
