Screen Print and Laser cutting
AFter the drawing,i was making laser cut file of the flowers. The laser cut is supposed to have hole to where the shadow of the flowers would go in the drawing.
I used metalic fabric and silk satin to experiement with the laser cutting, whether the fabric would be cut beautifully or burnt around the edge. After the laser cutting is done, i tried to do screen print on both fabric. the metalic fabric does not absorb screen print pigment as well as dutchess. Therefore, the fabric looks like it is overpowering the screen printed flower motif. As the silk, due to its white colour and smooth texture, the flower motifs could be seen very clearly from far, which is very lovely.
However, i feel like screen print only allows one or two colours which i think it looks very dull. The idea of flowers are to have different colours and the details and serene atmosphere. I was thinking to do two screen print with different colours.
