Migration – working title

I realised that some areas of the dress will have lots of folds and will probably not take glued sections of thicker map paper. In the first lino cut I left the flowers as a simple overall shape, just to mark the position of the glued flower. I decided to cut more detail into the flower areas of the original lino cut, so the print can stand alone in heavily pleated areas.
I also cut some flower shapes in lino so I can print directly onto the maps, as I need the outlines of the petals to make the map pieces look like flowers.
I think I need 10 printed pieces to make the front of the dress, but I will make a few extra.
I wondered how to link the printed sections together and thought of water ripple lines. Were they to be printed too? Hard to do that to match up across glued edges. So I think using the blue areas of the maps will work better, and also indicate migration routes from India to England.
