Angel Pattern Repeat.
I have used a photograph that I took over Christmas of a garden statue which was covered in early morning frost .The frost looked a bit like a crown and added texture and interest. The image below was created on photo shop ,the photo was turned into a grey scale image and then created in to a screen print. I used the screen print to create different coloured printed images onto different paper colours to develop some commercial colurways for interior wall papers and surface design ideas. The repeat below could be spread out a bit so there are less cherubs to add a more scaled down placement of the cherub image. This would make the image less busy and more appropriate for wall papers.
Other ideas for backgrounds could also be developedThe image below is the cherub reading as a pattern repeat for screen printing. I am also creating a hand drawn image for screen printing.This image could also have photographic a deconstructed ancient warn away gilt finished rust effect with weathered backgrounds in various colours. The images are one layer created on photo shop. An extension to this would be to add different types of background layers and fabrics could be developed with the angel in the garden initial photograph. Developing different scales including a screen print simplifying the colouration down changing the colours and adding different effects.

Ideas for photographic printed textiles
I have always had an interest in photography and over the Christmas period I had an opportunity to use some excellent Cannon photographic equipment while studying my Masters in Design. I am currently looking at different techniques to create and refine different images. I have used a micro lens fir the photo of the garden angel. I am looking at printed fabric design for interiors and fashion. This particular image I will be having a look at photo shopping using Adobe CC in order to create a fabric or a wall paper. I can see it developed into a wall paper using a gilt background. I have recently added silver and bronze leaf to a printed Lino design which I really enjoyed. Adding more detail to a one colour Lino print adding an extra dymention to opulence and uniqueness.
