flower heads

This is the follower up post to my playing dress up post. These headpieces are more fun, I used my mums flowers from around the house to stuff the headpieces. The flowers add a nice Caribbean appeal to the headpieces as well so I'm happy with that. Again these are inspired my Junya Watanabe's headpieces. I wonder if I can make these a little bigger but I must consider how heavy these will be on my models heads on the catwalk. They're also quite fragile so I have to figure out how I want to attach them to the models heads. These headpieces are more colourful, fun and vibrant which is what my project is all about so hopefully the end product for the catwalk show will be just as great.

I love textiles

Finally finished my textiles project for Bournville, and I'm so please with the outcome. These samples truly reflect my thoughts of textiles.

Before creating these samples I had to choose from a list of words and the words that were most appealing to me were scrap and cutting line. I really LOVE the interior design element of these samples, I didn't have a particular theme to work with for these samples. I just saw pretty fabrics and stitched them together. But they work nicely as samples for possible furniture fabrics.

Beautiful fabrics!!

I got these beautiful fabrics in the mail today. Ah I love them, so excited to make hexagons out of them. I really love the bright colours and how the colours of each fabric links to the other.

I got these fabrics from http://www.saintsandpinners.co.uk/ in the sale section. They are 50 x 53cm, which was a good bargain from the price of £1.80. Also the delivery was very fast, I made my order on Thursday July 8th and received them today. So I will definitely order from them again.
