Final Major Project



Its been a very busy christmas, with snow, working, dissertation and the start of the FMP! Scarey stuff ey! but very exciting! So soon as we was back to Uni I couldn't wait to decorate my work bay with my inspiration again. This is my favourite part of a new project as you might of guessed from older posts.

Love me, Live with Me....

Following from my previous post, this is what I picked up at the Wondercart. These lovely 'Its been a While' postcards by Kathryn Hodgkinson were perfect for me as moving away from home I left alot of loved ones behind. So, after living with them for a while I had the perfect opportunity to send one to my close friend Jade who was getting engaged :)

Things I Should Of Blogged in 2010



This seems such a long time ago now but was during the busy time of completing my minor project so I completely forgot to Blog oops! It was such a lovely day at the Baltic and this lovely Wondercart was there with beautiful pretty things to inspire you to blog. I especially was intrigued with the quirky mouse ring- not something I would normally wear myself but so life like!

Little Tote Bags!


So... last year I produced these little tote bags using my imagery from one of my fashion modules, I really loved my two little love birds and thought they would look very cute on some simple tote's. The tote bags are now on their way to the Knitting and Stitch show in Harrogate so I'm feeling a little nervous as I've never tried to sell anything before. I also tend to get quite attached.

Crafty Computer Paper Competition 2010!





I had a go at entering the crafty computer paper competition with some work in which I had used their product it was as simple as that but didn't win anything... oh well its still best to give things a go! I entered work from my last module in second year which was also for furnishing fabrics with the theme of 'things british'. Based on a previous trip to London my imagery included the typical sights of London such as the black cab, red bus, Big Ben etc. Above is my digital printed samples I entered.

From drawings to Finals!




It was alot of long days and hard work in the print room but after 8 very fast weeks I have my final collections for furnishing fabrics. Some have more in their collection as I planned but I felt it would be a waste to put them in my development book when I was really pleased with how they turned out. Below are a few pictures I hope you like them.

Drawings From Minor Project





These are a variety of some of my drawings from my minor project, I focused mainly on florals and the natural surroundings, in which you can see in my photographs in a previous post.
