Final Major Exhibition

So yesterday was the opening of the Leeds College of Art degree show. Here are some snap shots of my work, I didnt want to put them up until my family had seen the show so it would be a suprise. There is soo much amazing work to see, everyone's work is lush if you are in Leeds this week you should definately pop in! Its so scary now that Im finished Im not really sure what to do with myself!!

Shark Dresses

Today I have started creating my own garment shapes to drape my designs onto, and I have been really enjoying it. Here are some of my favourite Jaws inspired ones...

Hawaii Dreaming

I have been wishing summer would arrive more and more lately, so to get myself in a sunshine mood I have draped some of my designs onto a very hawaiian outfit and I love the results! Let me know what you think..which one is your favourite?

Business Cards

My business cards came today and I am sooo happy with them!!

I ordered them off Moo.com and I love the feel of the cards and the colours are exactly how I hoped they would be. I only printed 200 so I have to keep resisting the urge to give them to randoms on the street!!

I also LOVE my logo that I asked my friend Kat Barcenilla to design for me its perfect for me and I feel like it really reflects my work and personality. Have a look at her lush work at www.katbarcenilla.com

 It is just over 2 weeks until deadline and it finally feels like it is all coming together! Website should be sorted this week so watch this space..and today I printed two of my final fabric lengths!

I have started to put my designs together in a Mary Katrantzou-esque way and am really pleased with the results. All 3 images represent a different story from my final major project; jaws, vampires and witchcraft.

Tailored Covers Collaboration

Tailored Covers have asked Leeds College of Art Printed Textiles Students to design a tailored car cover with the possibility of it being put into production and available for commission. This is such an exciting project and one I would love to be chosen for. As my final major project is partly based on Jaws and horror movies, I thought that sharks would work well on a car cover as they are the primary fish/animal that embodies fast, dangerous, exciting and everything I imagine someone who has a beautiful, fast, exciting car to want! Here are some of my designs draped onto a car cover to show what I want my tailored cover to look like....

Hawaiian Shirts

I thought that some of my designs for Final Major Project might work well on men's shirts, which is an idea that hadn't really occurred to me before this point. I love Hawaiian shirts and they are particularly on trend at the moment with the summer trend of Miami. I am really happy with how they look as drapes.

 The shirt image is not my own.

These are a selection of the photos taken from my visit to Blackpool Sea-life centre a couple of weeks ago. I love the colours, this is the colour palette I am going to use in my 'Jaws' collection for Final Major Project.
