Photoshoot

I have been taking photos of some of my Final Pieces.

This is my favourite bag from my collection.  It is extremely oversized, has a floral print and a pink velvet lining.  

Also pictured are a lovely bike and gorgeous cottage, neither of which belong to me, big shame!

Pick a card, any card.

My moo cards have arrived, hooray!

I can't choose which one is my favourite, but perhaps, like children and pets, one must love them all equally :)

Career Planning

Today I looked on the Indigo Trade Fair website, as I am working on my 'Career Plan.' And thought I would look up textile agents.

But then I was greeted with this lovely leopard- rabbit.  I have now been completely distracted as I love this image so much!


Today I received a first glimpse of my dress, in the form of a picture message, which I gave to a dressmaker to be made up last week... I am really pleased with how it is looking so far!  Even though I created the pattern and made up the toile, and printed the fabric I still hardly recognised it as a made up piece....


Very exciting times, I will post a picture of the finished piece when I get it back.

Today I went to the shops and I bought...

Some beautiful flowers from a market stall and a vintage apron from my new favourite charity shop. (Pictured here as table cloth)

  

I then played around with flower arrangements...

And found this beautiful teapot in the garage!

The Arcade

I found these beauties down the Arcade in Town...


They have inspired me to create some more repetitive floral prints and the jade green is tempting me to add to my colour story, but I must stay strong as I am already using a wide variety of colours in this project, and even I'm not sure if jade would sit well with olive and pea green.

Inspiration

Today I thought I would blog the photo that inspired my Final Major Project. The project is based on flowers and how they are displayed. I took this photo last June or July outside Liberty in London, it was a really lovely sunny day and these flowers stood out in the city as they were so bright and beautiful, I thought they looked amazing so I took the photo, I had no idea at the time that it would become such a big part of my final project!

This is the drawing I made from the photo, (it has come out slightly blurred as it is rather large in real life) with the colours painted to suit my projects colour story. I have just finished designing a fabric length incorporating this drawing and will blog the finished results soon.
