The House Beautiful is a printed textile collection inspired by objects collected and treasured by Anne, Countess of Rosse. Chinese ornaments, Japanese art, coral jewellery and painted trinket boxes have all been sources of colour and imagery. Traditional screen-printing techniques have been explored to create delicately antiqued prints in exotic jewel colours and Japanese inspired ombre shades. All garments are screen printed by hand, samples are a combination of hand screen-printed and digitally printed designs. This collection would not have been possible without the help of the following people, to whom I offer my sincerest thanks: Joshua Eaton- Photography and Web-Design Janice Parsons- Seamstress Laura Clarice Webb- Model
