Lampshade Final Design!

3d wallpaper sample - final changes

Edged with gold leaf and layers between natural tissue paper pieces

Gift Range pieces

I have began experimenting over easter until I can get back to uni to work further on my wallpapers, with creating gift bags and greeting cards that I plan to have on sale at exhibition. Below I have done a sample of a hand screen printed gift bag and card and attached rhinestones, like I have on my 2d wallpaper, so the collection looks as one. ( I will also decorate business cards with these when I can get images of my 3d wallpaper samples, as still need to do some more laser cutting and edge them in gold leaf). The gift tags I have hand screen printed to put my own stamp on labels to show prices etc.
I havent decided on prices yet for the below but these are how I want them to look and will create a buddle to display. I also plan on doing some keychains using images of my 3d wallpaper.

Change to one of final wallpapers

As you know I am to exhibit 3 wallpapers, one 2d and screen printed over, a 3d one with laser cut added pieces and the final was to be simply printed and displayed, however, After a group crit at uni last week, I have decided to add gem pieces to this wallpaper to add a little something and a bit of sparkle, i shall also be thinking of adding these to my businness cards which should make a nice touch.

Laser cut samples for 3d wallpaper

These images below show how I plan to piece my wallpaper together, I have had the shapes cut from a separate design and from natural tissue paper, some pieces are pieced together back wards and others the correct way, one side on each will show pattern and the delicate tissue pieces feed inbetween the layout. I am next to sample by adding gold leaf to edges of pieces to see if that works and breaks up the intensity of some patterns. I have also made the decision that the laser cut butterflys with be places straight down the middle collum and not alternatly scattered as I feel due to the size of them it would take over the entire width of roll on display. New samples to come soon

 this one here is the order I want my pieces to be composed together, below looks a little lost. These will now be sampled spraying the white ones in gold leaf spray and the edging of the patternd laser cut shapes with be edged in glod leaf pieces. Samples to come

New Samples

I have began sampling using my pearlesant shades, puff binder and pearlesant on its own.
Some are more sucessful than others, however I have tried to keep the colours to my colour palette linking my collection.

First of all I ve used black mixed with pearlesant, which hasn't really worked as I hoped it would, it resembles that of a spider web really, not the vibe I was heading for.

and again with what I thought was a purple shade turned out a pale pinky.

This I just screen printed using pearlesant and what I think I shall be going with for my final 2d design. However below i tried mixing some alternative colours mixed with pearlesant and puff binder, however when I heated them either I'd mixed the quantites incorrect or I just dont like the outcome!
