Second year

With a secret first project completed and some exciting news for my work which I am unable to share at the moment I am well underway with second year.

Now into my second project which is fashion I am looking into carnival and the spirit of the rio carnival. The research for this is bold colours and exotic animals and flowers. Images to come of some of the work I am producing

Summer

With summer homework been set and research to be carried out I have found a love for pintrest where I publish images that inspire me as well as some of my work. Hopefully over the summer I have time to plan a few trips to places and bring up some new hobbies.

End of year

I haven't posted in a while because I have been rushed off my feet trying to keep up to date and completing my final project for this year. Here is some images of my work that I handed in including finals. Hope you like them :)

Drawing boards

With contextual studies now handed in I can now concentrate on professional studies with the deadline coming up. So while I have been doing them I am carrying on with my studio work both embroidery and print so I thought I would show you my latest a1 drawing boards

A3 drawings

I have been working hard drawing flowers with different materials and techniques. There are my first 2 drawing boards

Final ideas

I have done a week or two of drawing now and I have chosen some of my best ones that I think will work well on my top shape. Three of these will become my final designs

New module

New module new organisation with the last module finished and a little break we are back working away again. Results in and one happy girl I am ready to work a little harder again so I thought I would show you what my bay looked like after the first day

Finals

With another deadline done and dusted yesterday I can now breath again. All work handed in completed which is always a good thing. So I thought I would post my final collections both print and embroidery.

Finals

I have been working away hard this week trying to get everything sorted so that for once I am not going to be stressed near deadline. I have now completed a number of print finals and one embroidery out of four with two weeks to deadline things are looking good. Fingers crossed.

Embroidery

I have also started my embroidery section of this module and have learnt a number of techniques such as machine embroidery, hand embroidery and the different stitches and appliqué.

Happy new year

Hi everyone I am aware that I haven't been writing for a while I have the busiest Christmas break but I am back at uni for another term and working hard already. As it had been a while I have done quite a lot from dyeing my own fabrics to learning new techniques in both print and embroidery. I have now completed my print section but still in the process of creating my finals. There is some of my samples from print using different techniques foils, printing with pigments, printing with acids and procions, expandex and miner foam.
