Through a lot of samples and experiments with digital print I came up with my final fabric for upholstery.
I printed my design on to cotton sateen digitally and then contacted with a professional local upholsterer. He helped me to finish my old chair.

Finished chair I'm really pleased with my final outcome

It is my latest fabric collection based on unique flower - Edelweiss.

Playing with fabric paints

I used a natural fabric embellishing the prints with hand and machine embroidery as well as applique to achieve interesting and distinguished details.

My main aim was to design and produce a professional fabric for upholstery. I was inspired by my old chair found at a car boot sale. The chair was in poor condition so I wanted to renew it and give a breath of something new created by me. That's why I focused on designing the right fabric for upholstery.
Some of us are familiar with the story of a magical fern flower which blooms for a very short time on the eve of the Summer solstice. The flower brings fortune and luck to person who finds it. My fabrics inspired by mentioned fern flower are a pencil drawing and they have been developed with Adobe Photoshop and then printed digitally.

I love the quality of pencil drawings!

Inspired by nature... I've found a great potential in leaves. I wanted to create a pattern based on leafy shape but after further investigations I started to think of deconstruction.

I used a soldering iron to burn out holes

My final samples are a combination of traditional drawing and real pictures of deconstructed leaves.
