I've been improvising whilst working at home, testing different colour ways for my final designs :)

Ironing board as my table, why not?

A perfect work station in my opinion!

I have worked back into my koda trace giving it more texture and detail. I'm happy with how it turned out :)

Thanks!

Printed and Embellished Surface was my opportunity to experiment with techniques I already knew and learn a lot of new techniques also. I produced 6 samples for printed surfaces and 4 samples for embellished surfaces. I was very happy with my final designs and 2 got chosen to go to Indigo in Paris where my University was exhibiting, how exciting!!

oh dear...

                  So, I have been pathetic recently at blogging, I promise to improve on how often I blog.

I have been busy completing my final project for my first year at university, the first part of the project was for fashion fabric where I produced 3 garment fronts; I chose to complete a swing skirt. I used a floral theme where I decided to keep my designs almost all white with elements of creams, pale peaches and pale beige. One of the skirts is complete and the other two are almost complete, I will update me blog with images of the skirts once I have took some photos of a good quality, I promise J

The second part of this project is for furnishing fabrics based on a Neo-Classical theme. I struggled to get into producing drawings for this as my research wasn’t spot on but once I corrected my research my drawings worked much better. I used my original drawings to produce patterns in repeat (I will upload images of these also, soon J) I chose my final design and produced a graph in repeat which I then traced onto my koda trace. Very time consuming and patience is key!

Tracing my repeat onto my graph through my boyfriends glass table, made the job so much easier!

My graph, half complete

Ready to trace my graph onto my Koda Trace, scary!

 

My complete Koda Trace

And there are some close-ups!

Im going to work back into some of them to make my Koda Trace and screen a bit more interesting :)

Love, Rose Ann

self control.....no check

So, I just purchased the world of interiors, December 2011 and it’s kind of dangerous. Full of divine products from textiles to lights to chairs that are amazing and are, sadly, out of my price range.
