It's all about making
...with a bit of other stuff thrown in.

Textiles; the story so far

So, I haven't blogged for a while.  Life got in the way.  But now I'm back, up to speed and on top of my 'projects'.  My themes are Vintage Paris and, predictably, Memories.  I'm making a corset and skirt, vintage can can style for the Fashion part of the course.  I've got some beautiful french erotica pictures from the early 1900's to use in the design - not sure that it's appropriate for the Lower Sixth though!  For the more craft based side of it I'm making little dolly clothes to display in box frames.  Using images of my daughter as a baby and children's story books trapped in teabags and layered with Latex I'm making some lovely fabric.  It does have a bit of a skin like feel to it though.  Very 'Silence of the Lambs'.


I've added a few pictures of my portfolio samples.
