Florals

Defining Detail

Applying Texture

Exploring Scale

Florals are often very samey and predictable, however in September, I went about designing my own range of "floral" inspired cloths, on a range of different fabrics. Inspiration came from the city of Norwich, where I was set a task to "sat nav the city". Also a trip to Norwich Castle lead to a task set to "mimic the masters", where I produced a number of drawings taking key ellements of others work. My main focus was the floral teapot collection from the castle.

Experimenting with scale I worked on a enlarged scale which I feel was effective. Also explored texture and detail I spent considerable time on each design. The colours are strong and bold and have now become my signature identity within my work. My developement focused around a motif which I screen printed onto mercerised cotton and silk cloth, working with repeat patterns, multiple colour and scale. Also working with heat transferable ink I was able to over lap my designs quickly and effectively. Over all I am pleased with my final collection of cloths.
