Fun afternoon making a lampshade. First I had to sort out some fabric, I didn't have long to play about, so I took a drawing I did of Sadel Castle on the Mull of Kintyre and sliced it up and stuck it back in an 'abstract' manner and them scanned it in to further play on Photo shop. I recoloured it using my colour palate - which incidentally is slightly changing to become a tad brighter... and then prepped the design for printing on the Sublimation printer at college. Still not really liking polyester fabrics but needs must as time (and money) was a factor I decided to use the synthetic linen as it has a really nice texture - its probably the least synthetic looking fabric. (the sub printer only works with synthetics).
Once my fabric was printed I then cut it to size and started the surprisingly easy and very therapeutic process of making a lampshade. I've been so centred on design lately that it feels really nice to be actually making something and to see my fabric design on a product. It was a very pleasant afternoon spent in the sewing room cutting, sticking and chatting.
