Screen printing sweatshirts for my FMP, these prints were inspired by 17th century wallpaper uncovered in Horace Walpoles House, Strawberry Hill. The wallpaper wasn't quite intact and had started to decay. I wanted to show this ageing process, and screen printing shows the feel of that decay.
Cotton loopback sweatshirt fabric was an important choice to print on, the aged effect is similar to the feeling you get from a well loved sweatshirt.
Each colour way helps to tell the colour story of my collection.
These are absolutely GORGEOUS Becky! What would you think about making cushions out of them?
