Re-mixed Dimensions Photo-shoot
Well, here it is the finished Re-mixed Dimensions collection. I’m so happy with these final pieces, there’re all very different but sit well together. Constructed textiles are amongst my favourites due to how tactile you can make them.
I have to give a hugh thank you to Catherine who modelled for me, she looks amazing.
Made to be adorned
Experimented with including sleeves on the body, this sits well on the body using felt works well as it holds its shape when manipulated.
EXPERIMENTAL ADORNMENT
After initial researching of all the various things I found influential for this project. I started playing with adornment of my own, using different weighted and textured materials and making each piece individually, decorating them by hand or with a sewing machine and arranging each piece onto a stand to create a silhouette I like, then sewing all the various pieces together by hand, so that it may be worn on the body.
Heavy Metal.
This particular piece was made during the final year of the FDA in Textiles and Fashion I studied, It was so much fun playing with ideas and pieces of fabric to create something to adorn the body, so I thought why not include it here.
Doodles
This is a quick ink doodle to show shape on the body, I’m hoping over the next couple of days to make the final pieces and do a photo-shoot.
Constructive Things
These are some constructed textile experiments I’ve played with, I’m quite happy with them and I’ve used a wide range of methods these are fun to make and if you haven’t tried felting before I highly recommend it.
Making Impressions.
Over the last week I’ve been playing with constructed textiles and thought I’d try laying brass buttons in a dish of latex (so much fun!) It took about 3 days to dry out and when I removed the buttons the latex had imprinted the pattern and taken the colouring from them. Now I can cut them up and use them as buttons.
Working with layers
Conveying layers in different media, and experimenting with how it could be used on the body.
Making marks
- Using a bamboo stick, dipped in paint.
A few quick mark making experiments always free the creative side of me, using different tools and black paint to test out directions lines with can be used on the body.
- Diagonal lines created using a toothbrush.
