21st Century Romance - Samples.

An update on my 21st century romance project. I am now in the last week and a bit of this project and I feel like I have done nothing! Even though I am constantly being reassured by my peers that I have. I think it was the 3 week xmas break that did it, anyways I have one final design all sewn up, two more that need sewn and I don't know where am gonna pull the last final design out from but I should have an idea by thursday.

Samples.

A look at the few samples that I have. Using alot of freehand machine embroidery and some cut and slash.

Also thing is what happeneds when I tried to do some freehand embroidery on my sewing machine at home, yeah its not the best sewing machine in the world....

Finals

Todays Work. 3/12/12

Today was all about drawing with the sewing machine and developing my drawings.

Drawing on the sewing machine for the first time in months and I think I did quite well, it could use a bit of working on but I like the roughness of the look and I just did it to bulk out my drawing work a bit.

Some of my development work with more to come.

21st Century Romance Drawing.

Some more drawing from my 21st Century Romance fashion project. (will take better photos when I get to uni on monday)

Manchester Trip.

So in the summer I went to Manchester for a few days and as we were walking around (mostly in the northern quarter) we saw the most amazing pieces of graffiti. The more we looked the more we found so on the Sunday we went out looking for it with our cameras.

Just some of the photos I took it the Northern quarter. It seem like anywhere you looked you would see something else that would catch your eye. Machester is a beautiful city and I fell in love with it though its art and culture.

Drawing Trip.

The other day I went on a drawing trip to the Hancock museum in town and had a fun filled day of drawing. Well walking around with an A2 sketch book made me feel likw everyone was looking at me and it was a little bit hard to draw with nothing to lean on but all in all a good trip. I also took lots of photos to work from on a later date. 

21st Century Romance.

My new project is called 21st century romance (surface design for fashion) and for this I have decided use old/disfigured bones as my focus for my drawing.

This project is surface design for fashion and since I have never done Men's wear I thought I would do men's wear for A/W 2013/14.

My mood board for this project.

Drawing so far...
