Samples

10/3/2014

Today I begun sampling, over the weekend I collected a different range of wallpaper samples and other different papers. I then used Berries to create my prints by using the heat press. I found that tracing paper and other thin paper were the least successful samples. This was because of the juices from the berries, meant that the paper would rip. My most successful samples were the wallpaper samples because they were a lot thicker. I found that the most successful paper was the textured wallpaper which when heat pressed made the berries embossed into the paper, from this I liked the textured surface it created and how the berries mould around the embossed textures within the wallpaper. Over the next couple of days I will be developing this technique further by creating them on a larger scale and adding wax to create a more raised surface and also adding another texture on the wallpaper.
