I wanted the juxtaposition of old against modern for this design, to make a real contrast of styles as a fabric. I love creating mixed media digital collages and I have taken the beauty and craftsmanship of my collection of vintage embroideries to add flowers. Mixed these with some paper sculpture butterflies cut from recycled maps and then scattered a few of my old stamp collection into the mix. I manipulated and pixelated in Photoshop and voila, a retro style fabric of memories with a hint of modern 8 bit colour.
