At college at the moment, we have been creating umbrella designs for our Stretch lessons. We are going to create a display with them in our college, and have long wall displays hanging down the windows down the sides of the display.
My design is inspired by artist Henri Matisse I incorporated colours that Matisse uses and shapes he uses in his work. I thought this photo of all the umbrellas was very effective so decided to show you on my blog.
Next year I plan to start selling items on my etsy, specifically childrenswear, and some handmade small sewing projects. However still working out what im going to end up making. Featuring anchor fabric which is 100% Liberty Tana Lawn blue fabric print 100% cotton
I wanted to experiment using the techniques which Susan Cutts uses in her work. I decided to create my own paper garment like what she does in sculpture form I used a fabric base in calico fir the bodice, then papa mashed with thin strips of paper over the top. Then created a ruffle neckline and bottom using kitchen roll flowers stuck on by duct tape. For the skirt I used duct tape and newspaper which created a tutu like skirt. Finishing with the same paper roses over the top to cover the waistband.
Happy new year! Sorry but I forgot to post a project that I had been working on before Christmas and the new year. So thought I'd post it now, better late than never. This Christmas jumper/top has been created using a black long sleeve top, different festive themed fabric cotton fat quarters. Finally with a variety of different ribbons and threads to finish the garment off. I think it looks really neat and has been quite successful, leave your feedback down in the comments :)
