Walking in Swaledale (detail)

This demonstrates the detailed making of the Backpack lining fabric design. It shows the monoprint pattern based on the specific lichen colours and their intricate design. The additional free-machine stitch facilitates texture and connection between the different lichen forms giving relief and depth to the fabric
