I have started experimenting with some placement print ideas, using my illustrations to see how well they translate. As my line illustrations are quite simple and clean, I have added layers of my illustrations around a larger central image to create more variety and interest for the eye. I have also added a background layer of some paper marbling to the inside of some of the line drawings to add another dimension and replicate the textured look of an actual shell. Although I think my line drawings work well for repeat prints they don't seem to have enough impact for a placement print, so for the meantime its back to the drawing board with these.
