Alice in Wonderland you say...

Well I have gone back to my old ways, designing for Interiors. I have had the urge to draw something on a really large scale and had the idea of creating a bespoke wallpaper length which will all be hand drawn. The length will be based around Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and will combine a mix of different medias to create some interesting effects. Lets see how it goes...

What ive been up to!

Well its been a while since my last check in. Ive just got back from an amazing week at New Designers in London, and I came home inspired to do some drawing and get back into printing. Im working on a new project, combining digital print and screen print. As I always design interior fabrics and wall coverings, I am going to challenge my self with this project. It will combine prints for fashion and interiors, as well as home accessories, so I cant wait to start printing and making. As always though, a project starts with drawings, and I have been out to buy a new sketchbook to start this. Here is something im working on at the moment.

Twenty Eleven! Degree Show

Well after all the hard work and stress this week the Degree Show is finally up ready for opening night tomorrow! Here is a little sneak peak!

Some of my Lengths!

Well i am finally finnished printing my lengths, they are all three metres long and i have tried to consider size of composition of imagery so that they all work well together in a collection. I am really pleased with the way they have turned out and cant wait to display them at the degree show!

First Length!!!

Well after a few days preparation i have finally printed my first length! It has worked really well, I used illuminated discharge to print it with, so i was really scared to steam it and wash it incase the colours disappeared, but luckily they didnt!! As it is a length for furnishing fabric, i decided to hang it at a window to see what it looked like, luckily we were redecorating the living room so i get a better idea of what it would look like in a home.

Heres on im working on at the moment!

Well im on to my second last paint out. For this one i really wanted to try something different, so i went to a bit of digital design, which i tend to avoid like the plague (im not the best on computers) and the collage my design on the top using watercolours and pencil drawings, i also lamintated some of my roses to give the effect of what could be a clear gloss foil on fabric. I intend to add swarovski crystals into the centre of the roses but these are still on order.

All About Me!

Well i have finally finnised my Professional Practice Portfolio, i am really pleased with how it has turned out and all my hard work has finally paid off! I tried to make it fit in with the theme of my FMP, so i wanted it to look quite vintage, i have hand printed all of my folders and inside is a combination of hand made stationary and professional documents.
