This was where I decided to change my final piece idea a bit and separate my different panels into two sections. I felt the wool and felt pieces worked well together and then I thought the appliqué and printing pieces would compliment each other . I have now decided to create to wall hangings to […]

For these embroidery panels I cut out shapes of poly cotton and sewn them onto yellow backgrounds with a mixture of wool and freehand machine embroidery.   This work is inspired by my previous appliqué above.

For the next three panels I made them using the quilles technique. I really like how the colours merge together in these pieces. I think they will look really good altogether.

For my next panels of my final piece I made 36 pom poms and sewn them onto fabric to make 3 different panels. these will probably be my favourite panels in my final piece as I adore the texture of wool.    

drawing on from my initial final piece plan, I wanted to make examples of how the rug might look in other home furnishings. I drew the same designs on a sofa, lamp, armchair and footstool. I think these look really good.

These are the first panels I made for my final piece. I needle felted all these squares and then sewn them together with wool. when making the squares earlier in my research I wasn’t sure what I would do with them, but I think I have found the perfect use.

Beauty compared to aesthetics can be identified by where it originated from and how it came to be. Although, this can be contested with the cliché saying that ‘Beauty […]

This is my initial plan for my final piece. the idea is to recreate as many of the samples of my work together in similar sizes and put them together to make a rug. I really like this idea and feel like my illustration has helped to materialise the idea.

(possible method of decoration for hat challenge) To make these pieces I first used wire to create full shapes in the form of leaves, circles and a couple random shaped ones. I then dipped these wire pieces into pots of fantasy film which fill the hole in the wire and dry hard. after this they […]

For the hat challenge I designed 6 different hats from different perspectives. I incorporated the ‘accordion style’ felt pieces, pom poms and some feathers as I thought this would prove to be interesting.
