Work wear print ideas..

Miniature lamppost print,
really like this idea as the lamposts are almost unrecognisable from afar, look like delicate florals, but realistically there just everyday 'mundane' objects from our environment. would work well for day as the pattern is subtle, yet had that quirky edge.

print ideas for daywear/workwear

Ant pintstripe:


Birdie check, black on dark plum,striped cotton.
liking the dark colours together, although my screens are given me a crisp enough print, may try this check with digital print.

More screenprints...

stripes against 'birdie' checks.

screenprint samples...

polycotton...
whilst out doing some market research, I came across a printed top in Zara, which used polycotton, its thin thickness meant there was a lighter variation of the design on the back of the top, which looked really effective, these are some of my experiments with polycotton.

Reversible print ideas...

reversible prints: experimenting with small scale prints,creating the illusion of smaller checks,patterns..contrasted with the larger abstract print..painstrokes..using shades from the same pallette to keep some connection between the two.
