Development

After mounting my print onto my chosen green card, i mounted them both onto my wooden coaster i used a clear, strong all purpose glue to do this. Once it was dry i dotted the same glue into the corners of dry point acetate and covered the top of my design to avoid anything rubbing the fabric away. To finish it off i added a grip material to the bottom so it doesnt slip when in use.

As my laser cut cotton wasnt stronge enough to remain on its own, iv had to go in soearch of a colour card to mount my work to, not only to strengthen it but also to be seen through the laser cut areas (leaves). Green seemed appropriate but also worked well with the brown and blue being used in my design already. I managed to narrow my choices down to three different shades, being these three.
top left; the colour is a very dull shade of green and seems appropriate considering the theme but perhaps a bit too light?
top right; a better shade, alot darker suits the theme.
bottom; very bright grass green, contrasts with my work, is this what im looking for?
