Goodbye Minor Project!

For the past 9 weeks i have been hard at work for my minor project for uni. For this project i chose the theme of "Britain is Beautiful" which i will also be carrying through to my Final Major Project! i am so passionate about our lovely country and love trying to portray this in to my own work, with the intention to inspire others. I wanted to capture the essence of beauty and warmth for the viewer to perceive in their own individual way and to simply put a smile on their face.

Here is the final collection displayed in my work bay ready to be marked!

I focused mainly on scarves and handkerchiefs and the potential outcome for such fashion accessories, and the different ways they can me interpreted!

The collection will eventually be available for sale, so stay in the loop and keep an eye out for my future products! :)

Something different...

My style is often very painterly, and usually very floral! So i thought i'd experiment with photoshop (yup, still obsessed) and try something different...
I've gone geometric! Good heavens.

Using my paintings and photos of flowers, i have tried to create some interesting linear designs.

Here is the outcome...

My First Competition!

 A few weeks ago i entered my first ever competition! HOW EXCITING!
And as the entry close date is getting closer i am getting incredibly itchy feet! I simply can not wait to see who the shortlist is! Fingers crossed!

I entered a tigerprint competition, as since working on the hallmark project i have been addicted to paper and digital design and couldn't wait to get my hands on competition brief!

Tigerprint competitions are great, as they always have one going and they are always fresh and exciting for new designers! They are also really straightforward to enter work in to, which takes away that extra faff and stress!

Here are the designs i entered:

Wish me luck!!!

A very sneaky preview!

Over the past few weeks I have been hard at work on my current project at uni. Our last module is an individual project, so naturally I have based mine around flowers! I have gone with the name "all things bright and beautiful" as I want to create a collection that is simply lovely and beautiful. I think flowers are quite special, and mean something different to everyone. They make me smile just because they are lovely, and I love to think that I could do the same for others through my work.

I am printing a collection of scarves, that I will be taking with me to New York, for the brilliant trade show; Surtex! And I cannot wait !

I am absolutely loving transferring my painting on to fabric! And here is a cheeky preview of some of the work I am having printed on to fabric!

I hope you like them!

I have been greatly distracted by the new biggest obsession in my life; Photoshop!
I have revisited some old work and had a little play around, trying to make it a bit more exciting (isnt there always room for improvement?!) and here are some of the final outcomes...
