Group Repeat Print - Playing with Dyes

Group Repeat Print - Playing with Dyes

Although we did not have a timetabled session today, our group met up to try to decide on the colours we wanted to use in our final repeat print ahead of our timetabled session for printing our length later in this week.
We all brought in a variety of images looking into our ideas for our colour scheme, previously explored, reds,blues and purples. From here we picked out the colours we like the most and began to mix up the dyes to try to create similar colours to test onto off cuts from our silk fabric.
Displayed below is a table which shows the colour we tested and the ratios we used to create different shades.

After mixing up all of these different dyes we used another piece of silk to try layering up the colours and shades to give us a picture of which three worked best together. 

we decided on....

Cherry Red 0.5g

a mixture of all of the 0.01g dye (top column) painted onto background

WE ALSO DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED A DARKER MORE CONTRASTING COLOUR. WE THOUGHT ABOUT NAVY, SOMETHING WE WILL EXPLORE FURTHER ON THE DAY OF OUR PRINT
