Snakeskin print onto polyester with PVC overlay.

In order to manipulate the texture and appearance of the snakeskin, after printing I left the snakeskin onto of the transferred print and place dab overlay of PVC which I heat pressed to the polyester and skin at 200 Degrees Celsius for approximately 25 seconds to prevent the PVC from burning in the press, yet just the right amount of time to enable the PVC and materials to fuse to each other. I think this method of printing worked successfully I was able to produce a sample which retained it's colour and structure/ texture; despite being out under the heat press at 200 Degrees Celsius twice.

What could have been done differently: 

Trialled out various other materials mimicking the honeycomb/ textured finish linking
