FMP 2011.

Some of the pattern ideas I had for my Final Major Project in 2011.

Kids Space Party!

Retro future themed space party for kids. Hoverboards, Rockets, Robots, Space Invaders, Neon lights and all the other stuff that goes with the future. http://pinterest.com/candyflosskitty/card-gift-and-packaging/ - My research pin board.

My attempt at a mood board.

A sneak look into my sketch book.

Gift.

My new project is on card and gift. With so many different areas of gift to work with I found is hard to find a theme I wanted to do. After looking around shops such as Clintons and Paperchase I got my theme down to Wedding or Kids.

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.
