FMP Printing Onto POP Socks

From my research of my nan flat I saw an repetition of pop socks that she had in her draw and in her washing. My nan frequently wears pop socks even from when she was younger and has always worn them since. I always see them laying round the flat and when mum does the washing for her there always on the drying rack. I wanted to focus on these because they are not much worn by the younger generation now and fashion is about developing old styles and bringing them back. I wanted it to also show time, how time has progressed. That when we look at pop socks we always think of an old lady wearing them, but when my nan was younger all of the younger generation would wear them. By adding my print, which I want to develop further to create a new and dated print, will imply time by using the old shape and purpose of a pop sock. My nan and her generation wearing them at a younger age, and then adding my print will bring them back again developed and new which will make them abstract and different.  By keeping them in trend by using bold and aluminous colours. Having researched into her clothing and what she wears now and when she was younger I thought that it would be interesting to see how well a print would work on a sheer fabric. Nude was the only colour that she would wear  and being made out of nylon, I knew that the print would come out, however I wanted to see whether with the fabric being sheer, would the colours be as successful with the pigmentation of the print.

Each print is successful, however the green and the orange print was the best out of all the patterns, the pigmentation of the orange and the green are successful as they have both kept the boldness of the colours from the original print done of photoshop. However, the pink and lighter prink colours have faded on the fabric. The pink has faded compared to the other colours but still visible and really quite like that it is faded. The lighter pink has faded into the nude colour of the pop sock but the other colours from the paint have come out as they are darker. I could develop this further if I wanted to make the colours brighter on the pop sock by making the print itself darker or brighter on photoshop so that it would come out brighter on the sock.
