Chapter Five - Make Patterned Papers

Make Patterned Papers

My mission on this chapter was to create patterns inspired by designs in the previous chapters using ink,  bleach and paint.

Here's how I got on. … I just want to add that I found writing descriptive words along side the prints helps me to visual the results better.

First up the ink pages - I used foundation pen ink on all samples.

Bleach Marks

Printing on to black tissue paper with bleach. I was a little nervous about this but I'm pleased with the results and its a fun technique.

Monoprints

Strangely I found this more difficult but still fun and I am looking forward to trying this technique out on fabric.

 EVALUATION

I enjoyed all techniques but I think each technique had a pattern that suits it better. i.e i think the ink printing look better with linear designs (pages 1, 8). 
The bleach print looks better with the mottled and curvy prints (pages 10, 12). 
The monoprinting in my opinion looks better using less paint and using a second print.
