Onwards and upwards!
The past week of this project has been all about focusing on final samples, and figuring out various compositions for them. To kick start this off I sketched out and 4 composition ideas for each individual sample so I knew exactly what I wanted to do and where. Each sample would represent a certain aspect in my sketchbook linking to my embroidery, weave etc. For my weaving samples I used a range of materials which include jersey yarn, wool yarn, PVC, plastic and felt.
So far so good, so here are a few photos of my progress of 5 completed samples.
Now it’s time to get cracking with 3 more final samples which will include weaving felt and embroidery, so fingers crossed everything will go plan!
Onwards and upwards!
Getting my fashion brain back into gear..
Today was all about creating fashion collages using photocopies of samples and my sketchbook work, enlarging and reducing the size of them and putting them on a fashion figure to create ideas for garments. At first I wasn’t too sure on the idea as normally I just put a pen to paper and start designing, but I wanted to get inspiration from this to see how much it helps. After a few initial attempts, my brain got into gear and loved creating these collages. Usually I just design and make for boys but this project I wanted to see if I could create a unisex garment so I decided to design for girls and boys to see what I could create.
Here are just a few of my outcomes, I managed to successfully make 15 girls and 15 boys fashion collages.
Now it’s time to create a template and start designing from these!
Four weeks to go!
Progress progress progress..
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been manically stressing about my sketchbook, as normally I’m so organised and I know what is going on every page, but this term our sketchbooks have to be more textiles based. That thought really scares me, but with a lot researching into layout and designs, I started it. Two weeks late but I’m on the right track now (fingers crossed anyway). So here are a few progress photos of my work.
Now it’s time to develop my sketchbook even further and start producing more textile samples!
