The design for the wallpaper, silk headscarves and drape came from drawings I made of the bird collection , housed in drawers at the Liverpool museum. The collection was also my main source of reference for the mummified feet, tags and colour pallette.

Digital imagery was developed by layering photographs, drawings, inkwork and text in photoshop. The final designs were printed onto heat transfer paper , specific areas of the designs were selected and pressed onto silk and various found vintage fabrics.
