Walldrop & Laser Cut pieces

I have really struggled with coming up with different ideas for the final wallpaper, especially as there is limited time left, I really liked the idea from the second development so I went away and looked at different background to see how this could potentially work. I have decided on the below design for the 3rd wallpaper in the collection. The initial backdrop will be printed on thick high quality paper, originally I wanted to screen print the colour onto the paper to be in keeping with the expensive and luxurious feel the bespoke wallpaper should have, however timing issues and print jobs have backed up the system meaning I could have an over night digital print job, but this would not leave me enough time to screen print, so I decided I would take the slot and have the final back drop as a digital print. Within each circle are the second image, which are laser 3 separate shapes laser cut, they will be layered on top of one another then hand sewn onto the paper. I have decided to use tracing paper for this to create depth between the layers. I am really happy with the final design as it takes on a completely different and more modern theme than the earlier 2 designs, this is much more abstract which I felt was necessary when producing a bespoke wallpaper.
