Experimenting with plant themed repeat patterns

As part of my coursework at college at the moment, I had to create a wallpaper which could be sold at Liberty of London (I am now on the second part of my coursework). I used my old sketchbook where I had used plants as a theme for inspiration.
I used fine liner and ink and bleach to create a series of repeat patterns, where I created one square of each and then photocopied them so I could create together. I then used these pieces for inspiration when creating my wallpaper.

Late Christmas project

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 :)

Paper garment inspired by Susan Cutts

Finishing with the same paper roses over the top to cover the waistband.
