This is a presentation of all completed work for my Fashion and Textiles project. This project was very enjoyable as I like to approach a lot of mixed media and experimental pieces. Working with a variety of materials and different approaches always helps generate ideas which you can incorporate into anything.
These are a series of embroidery and stitch samples, experimenting with different stitches and colours.
These patterns are influenced by my paintings and collages and using a variety of stitches including: runnings stitches, back stitches, stem stitches, cross stitches, blanket stitches etc.
I’ve also incorporated other fabrics such as recycled denim, t- shirts, paper, felt and watercolour dyed fabric. I had a lot of enjoyment experimenting with fabrics and I like how they create a nice texture.
For this project my chosen words are based on 1950’s and citrus. For my colour scheme I’ll be using colours that relate to the theme including: orange, yellow, green and blue.
Here I’ve created a series of pattern ideas using a variety of media’s including: watercolour, pen, thread, paper collage, and embroidery.
I’ve really enjoyed experimenting with these materials and combining them together to create abstract pieces. Personally, I find that either embroidering or overlapping another piece of artwork really makes it interesting.
Here I’ve created two mood boards one by hand and the other digitally using canva. My theme for this project is based on two chosen words which are citrus and 1950’s. I intend on research on these particular words and gathering a variety of materials that relate to my colour scheme. I also plan to experiment with various techniques creating abstract and textured pieces.
This is a quick experimental piece using a variety of coloured fabrics based on the theme of my mood board to create this weave.
