College Work

Here are a few more images of the work I created at college. This work was from my drawing module, textiles module and A Christmas module

Cushions

I have recently just finished the first half of my last studio module at level 4. The first half of the module I had to create two corresponding cushions. My theme was Paris and I chose to look into the architecture. I wanted to keep my color scheme quite simple as I think it would represent Paris. I chose purple grey and white to be my main colors. I tested with a lot of different fabrics and colors first so I had a good idea of what the finished product would look like. When making my cushion up I decided I would add piping around the edge as I thought that it would make it look more interesting and would make the edging more professional. I am very pleased with the outcome as it clearly represents Paris. I also think that I have made it to a very high standard. Here is an image I took of my final cushion.

Paris

My next module I am looking at French architecture, focusing on Paris. I will create two cushions and a neck piece for my final outcome. I have collected some research to get some inspiration looking at different French patterns and Paris architecture. I will start by creating some observational drawings from the research I have collected. Here is a photo of my bay.

Print and Embroidery

For my recent module I have been experimenting with textiles techniques including print and embroidery. I used some drawings that I had created from my first module and recreated them in fabric. I created a fabric Fanta can and flower. I used mainly printed techniques for the can and embroidery for the flower. This is the first time I have used print techniques and I think I have used them successfully. I was hard trying to figure out how to create my koda trace design but now I feel very confident doing more designs for my future modules. I love doing machine and hand embroidery and I think my flower shows a lot of different techniques.
