Experimentation: Screen Print FMP

I began to gather ideas on how i was to incorporate the floral background and what media I could use. One of them was using a screen print to make a repetative pattern on the background. I decided i wanted to do hydrengas as they're one of my favorite flowers and  they are very bunched together and the detail would have to be very fine with a lot of individual flowers which may be complicated to by hand. However, what stopped me from using the screen was that I looked further into textile patterns and found designs which better suited my idea. Knowing that I could reuse the silk screen I still went on to create a design and screen so I could then use it for my business cards, both creative and corporate, I liked the design that much I decided to use it for my creative CV. Im glad that I trialed this method as it really worked for another part of my project rather than the intentional. I also used different colours to differenciate the types of business cards and CV. I could have done the lining thicker and worked with a bit more finer detailing but it was a trial that came out better than a trial should and the results to me were ideal. Theres not much form and it has lots of shapes to it but it does aim to cover a full A4 piece of paper without any blank, plain parts of white etc.
The artist I looked at was Hesketh, I tried to reproduce her work called "Liberty" in my sketchbook using a silk screen to look at the experienced artists work and how well screen print can be done. She manages to create shape and form well using one colour to seperate the line work. It is simple yet effective.
