labricoleuseI posted a few of my dye class students' print projects a while back, traditional methods like block prints and screen prints. They also have the option to do a digital print, and several of them elected to give that a shot as well. Here are a couple of prints which their designers have elected to make public. (Two more students did digital prints but are not making them publically accessible yet because of further tweaking.)
Second-year graduate Leah Pelz created a stark black-and-white print of somewhat humanoid, somewhat insectoid inkblots in a half-brick repeat. Lean will be printing it on cotton-silk to make a skirt or dress at some point.
First-year graduate Colleen Dobson's print came about in a really amusing way. In fall semester, she took Costume History with professor Jade Bettin. Jade came to class one day wearing this shirt from Anthropologie:
...covered in pointing gloved fingers. From her seat in the classroom, Colleen thought the print was instead a design of tiny vacuum cleaners. Because of this misunderstanding, when she chose what to do for her digital print, she designed to make the mistakenly-parsed vacuum cleaner print a reality! So, now it exists on Spoonflower. Colleen has printed it on cotton jersey to make a copy of Jade's shirt that she liked so much, but in a vacuum version.
Fun stuff!
