The final wallpaper in my collection is to be a bespoke, top of the range wallpaper. Normally I have found through my research these wallpapers are one offs which are used as wall drops and not necessarily stuck to a wall or in fact used as a wallpaper. Baring this in mind I have the chance to be more experimental about my design and can take into consideration more handcrafted an delicate production methods. I have decided to use existing design development which I have not taken on to final stages for this wallpaper. This will enable me to use and develop work from early on in the brief and to consider work which was not appropriate for the first two wallpapers.
One of the things I loved from the very beginning of this brief were the original rubbing I collected and later developed patterns on, I wanted to try and use them in some way through this brief, I really love the rawness from the rubbings and how uneven they are, they look really beautiful with the slate grey graphite stick I used. I have placed 3 different tyre patterns out, to try and get some individuality from them and a sense of how to make them bespoke.
In terms of making these designs into bespoke wallpapers, I would really like to see them screen printed in a dark metallic silver on some tracing paper, so the light can seep through where the rubbings have missed the page and then hand sewn on top the with some thick embroidery thread, picking out the detail on parts of the tread marks. This would be a collection of some really beautiful wallhangings, however I am a little concerned that this moves too far away from the first two wallpapers, where patterns have been mapped out around tyre related objects.
