I just submitted a few new textile designs and wanted to show you my latest process. For one of the designs, I started with a papercut that I made last year:
I burned the papercut onto a screen, printed panels and sewed limited-edition pouches and bags:
Then I recently digitized the design and started playing around with colors:
Then I put the pattern in repeat, removed some details, and added more color:
Most textile designers have a cache of past designs and projects that are reinvented. For each fabric collection that is printed, there are at least an equal number of discarded design ideas. When I’m working with a papercut, the work is inflexible which presents its own challenges and rewards, but then when I put the pattern into Illustrator, the variations are infinite.
I just bought some green ink and will be printing some of the above panels soon.
My favorite quick and easy gift is a zippered pouch. Add boxed corners to the bottom to make a cosmetic bag, round the bottom for a new shape, or cut larger pieces of fabric to make a foldover clutch.
