Inspiration on the stand- 1

Whilst putting together my second thread which happens to be envy I got onto lower class housing in the Victoria Era. I found this image that I found inspiring because of the look of the texture of the walls, this inspired me to create a design on the stand. It needed to convey texture and have a raw look.

I used knots to convey the different sizes

I then focused on looking at different angles on figure

I then went on to add some rope into the design to add in a more raw texture and feel to it

From doing this it made me think of deconstruction which also links into architecture when looking at architectural drawings of building.

UPDATE

So I have come to realise I haven't updated you all with my work progress for a while! So here you are...

Up to know I think that my college work is improving everytime we get a new brief, which is what I enjoy most and watching how my work changes. I also like the excitment I get from trying out knew ideas and developing ideas further. This weekend the UK has been covered in head to toe in snow, yes I couldnt resist going sledging but its just been a pain and not allowed me to go to places I have wanted to be! But I suppose theres been worse care scenarios and I should really stop complaining and just get on with it as I have lots of things to look forward to, such as some trips, event and of course London Fashion Week with college! I just cant wait.

Here is some of my textile samples I have been creating as part of my textile design brief.....

How I left it today, adjustments to be made tomorrow

Today I have spent all day making this for my shoot tomorrow, I have still got to make some adjustments as I'm not over the moon with the outcome at the moment but I will be able to do that tomorrow. Ive also been planning how to have the hair and make up which has been fun and I'm sure my sister is sick of me using her as a model for that now! haha. I am looking forward to working with the photographers tomorrow as I think it will be a challenge, which I like. Up to know I'm all sorted but my list seems to be getting bigger every time I think of something knew. Fingers crossed I don't forget anything. Ill keep you posted on how it goes, Wish me luck...
