As a girl that doesn't follow trends, likes plan ahead for the next day with what I'm wearing and spends most of time looking back when it comes to fashion I really do leave everything to the last minute....
Or in this case, just completely miss the deadline altogether and have ended up having to carry the textiles brief on through to our final designs brief.
I go through fits and starts with textiles, I enjoy it but I can't lie when I'm in the wrong frame of mind I can't think of anything worse, it just doesn't keep me occupied enough... My mind wonders and then everything just goes horrible wrong!!!
But for now, before I bore you with my general chit chat over textiles, have a looksy at some I made earlier:
This sample is possibly a favourite when I think of accuracy and thought that went into it, I was really stumped by my first image (The Androgynous black girl) I loved it! it's a beautiful photograph but I wasn't sure what I could take out of it... Then I looked closer and just fell in love with the Fred Perry braces and they were perfect for playing with tones on the machine.
The photograph I took on my blackberry isn't the best quality for which I apologise but you get the idea darlings...
Sample two:
Sample three:
I am so in love with this textiles piece its almost pathetic, I loved playing around with the different colours, I loved the feeling of it once it was complete and the wash-away had dissolved and I just think it creates a really beautiful and delicate effect. The only thing I would change is maybe making it a little larger but I am thinking I could definitely create an A4 sample using this and make something quite unique... maybe.
Sample four:
Textiles designer Laura McCafferty inspired me to do this one, her work isn't actually my favourite but I felt she was certainly one to experiment with. This sample above is just a hand drawing of Andre Prejic's face and then I just simple watered over the fine liner and once that had dried hand stitched his features on the tracing paper simply by using embroidery needle and thread. I really liked the outcome for such a simple design.
Sample five:
Five begins with 'F' so does failure, and this sample in my eyes was certainly a fail! An epic one at that, I really dislike this one and just feel like it did not work well at all, so instead of hiding it away and making sure only the bare minimum of people would ever see it I felt it was a good idea to post it up here purely because it shows that not everything that your imagination tells you is a good idea necassarily is, sometimes things just don't work out the way you want. I just feel like now I owe Lea T an apology for completely ruining her stunning face. (Lea T being the first Trans-Gender model to ever make a high fashion magazine front cover when she appeared on the front of LOVE with Kate Moss in 2011!)
Now I've just got to finish my 6 A4 pieces otherwise it wont just be the samples I end up failing...
Wish me look darlings.
