Screen/ Room Divider

As I have been laser cutting into fabric I have printed onto I wanted to layer them up with space in between to give them depth. I feel these samples would work really well as room divider. I made these frames from Balsa wood to make them light enough to hang up but I think they would look great in beautiful oak frames. I will be making a floor standing room divider with this idea.

Dress and Progress Review

My previous post showed picture of my dress before it had been put together, here is the finished garment and also some images of my Progress review exhibition.

Printing, stitching and pleating.....

I have a progress review for my course and wanted to make something that incorporated some of the things I have been trying out so far. Although we do not need to produce finished work for this review I am in the process of deciding whether I want to make work for fashion or interiors. I feel making a dress that uses some of the techniques I enjoy doing will help me see whether this is the right route to take or not. These pictures are the pattern pieces for my dress before I put it together.

Smocking, Seams and Indian Embroidery ....

I am very interested in old craft techniques such as smocking. I decided to try to make some embellishment ideas using smocked circles of fabric playing around with the smocking stitch patterns. I will be developing these using different fabrics and size of circle.

Smocking, Seams and Indian Embroidery ....

I have also been practicing Indian embroidery techniques, I have been exploring this more creating new patterns with stitch.

Smocking, Seams and Indian Embroidery ....

As I have been playing around different seam techniques I decided to make some samples to see how I can make a aesthetic feature out of seams.

New screen print ideas

Need to get back into the print room and i discovered some ideas that I already had in the back of my mind but I think now is the time to use them as my progress review is coming up. These designs I created by using pictures I took of lattice work in India.
