Procion & Acid Dye Experimentation

Colour swatching with various shades of blue and different fabrics. 

 My final major project is all about texture, because of this I created large sheets of textures on top of each other. 

 By doing this it helps to show how I will create the texture and layering effect from paper to fabric. 

Fruit & Veg Experimenting

 As part of my experimentation i wanted to look at traditional old fashioned dyes. Below i have produced various different dye bath.

Blueberry boiled and simmered

Spinach,Basil,Beans & Kiwi

 Use a fixative to hold the dye to the fabric

Left to absorb and soak in the colour before rinsing the fabric out.

Exhibition Visit to Stratford Upon Avon

Hope you all had a lovely valentines day! Speaking of love.... I visited Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford Upon Avon to look at the treasures kept at the museum.

I found the objects very inspiring for my drawings. Looking at objects that have been kept in such great condition brings history into my drawings.

The Exhibition changes every 3 months to reveal new treasures. 

It is well worth a visit as there is plenty to do and see for the day. 

Stop off for a high stacked cream scone at Hobson's Patisserie around the corner.

Urbex

I am currently working on my Final major project for my degree show showcasing on June 5th 2014.

Within this project i wanted to explore Urbex (Urban Exploration) and the objects found within these buildings. As part of my research i began by visiting various different places to take my own photographs where i was aloud to visit.   Out of hundreds of photographs i have taken, i have selected a few to show you from various different locations.

Forgotten Land

Within this project i focused on the lost land with hidden turrets, mystery and a sense of fantasy.

Creative Mess

 

Above i have created my own drawing through object styling. By painting rose bush branches i was able to bring the vibrant colours into the objects.

Dying experimentation 

  Using bright colours i wanted to make statement fabric samples.

Futuristic Nature

As i have been exploring gemstones and jewels within this project, i wanted to experiment with the shapes within a shape. Using my objects i was able to create stretched quirky detail photographs on the photocopier.

Taking snippets from objects, i have created some observational drawings. 

Using inks and collage i wanted to create various different textures. I was also able to do this by experimenting with different 3d surface techniques. One of these was Canadian smock shown below on spray painted leather.

Card + Gift

Working for a live brief for Hallmark i decided to look at something new and different to todays society. I focused on Baby showers and created a pack for baby shower parties.

Drawing from observation i created a styled set to capture different angles of my objects.
