A section of recent print designs based upon Renaissance

Here are a few of my digital designs from my most recent project, enjoy! 

 This design I created for tiles, using a flatbed print I have been able to create a range of tiles, using my renaissance theme.

These next two designs are for both fabric & wallpaper, I created them using my renaissance sketches & paintings on architecture, flowers and women.

Recycling Chairs - Take 2

This is my second chair that I have recycled, painted, and printed. 

Base upon Oriental Patterns.

Recycling & Printing A Chair

So with my project, I felt like I was slipping away from the idea of re-use and recycling, and focussing mainly on the theme of the print.  To link it all back together I have been restoring some old chairs that I brought from a recycling centre, in which I got two solid wood chairs for £6! BARGIN! So remembering that my theme is still Oriental Patterns, here is my first look into recycling, restoring and printing. Hope you like! 

The state of the chairs when I brought them - they even had mould growing on them!

After the sanding and with the base coat.

Painting it an egg shell blue - glossy.

With the hand made stencil on, the idea for the stencil came from studying turkish tiles. 

Taking the stencil off and outlining it in gold for the oriental feel. 

Looking at peacock feathers.

And the finished product (for now, I might add some more down the line)... 

Using crackle glaze to get different/vintage/worn back ground affects before a massive screen printing session tomorrow!
