Twenty:Eleven - Its All Over

Well our degree show finally opened last night at the Art Gallery in Church Square, Hartlepool. We all had a fantastic night at the show as well as at our after party! Although it is really sad that its all over now after 3 years of hard work!

Memories . . .

Now that am finished with my Final Major Project, I have time to relax and do some less stressful things like finally getting to put together a scrapbook of all the memories my mam made in her life and make a special keepsake for everyone to look back on in years to come . . . .

More Mocking Up . . .

Product Visualisation

Been having a little play around with my samples and seeing what they would look like as garments. Pretty pleased with the outcome and hope they look as good in my Degree Show!

Final Lengths

Been hard at work these last two weeks printing some final samples: not entirely complete yet but at least its a start ! =)

Few more embroidery samples i have been working on this week; complete with home made beads and sequins :)

had a rethink about final samples over this week as well and decided on a few changes which will hopefully be for the best . . . . ill keep you posted if all goes well :)

Colours, Colours, Colours !

Working out colours for my final project, looks like its going to be a bright colourful journey!

Major Project

Few samples of embroidery from my major project, nothing final as of yet, just practicing with a few stitiches and hopefully develop something exciting along the way !

Embroidery

Some of my embroidery from the first year of my degree - this was probably one of the best embroidery projects i have done to date as i couldnt use print and had to ensure they looked like my drawings so i paid extra attention to the smallest of details - something i should probably go back to when doing my major project!

Creepy Crawlies . . . .

this is some of my work from this time last year . . . . i quite enjoyed this project (despite the wisdom tooth traumas throughout!) the final four samples travelled to Indigo in Paris with me and were almost sold to a buyer who wanted to use them for a wedding dress! its a shame that it never happened because i would have loved to have seen the outcome - i imagine it being weirdly fantastic :)
