This project involved working from an original painting by Sheila Bownas, a textile designer from the 1950’s -1970’s. I worked from an original painting and adapted the work, adding an additional section to make the repeat work. I designed motifs in keeping with Sheila’s style and then put the pattern into a half drop repeat.
I then mixed a bespoke set of colours and hand printed the design on to 100% Hemp fabric, using organic ink pigments.
