With these samples, I wanted to experiment with hand-printing and cutting. I chose a light but stiff paper cotton so the fabric would keep the shape I manipulated into it. I made the printing templates out of freezer paper and printed a simple geometric design onto the fabric. The top layer is then cut into with the same geometric design but at a different angle and fused to a backing layer of fabric made by fusing threads together. When the finished fabric is manipulated, the cut triangles create an intricate, jagged, three-dimensional surface.
