Hat No.2

Here is the shape of the second hat in my final collection.
 "One like a wombat prowled obtuse and furry, One like a ratel tumbled hurry skurry."
Accessories to show the goblin men in Christina Rossetti's poem 'Goblin Market'.

Screen Printing

 Screen printing sweatshirts for my FMP, these prints were inspired by 17th century wallpaper uncovered in Horace Walpoles House, Strawberry Hill. The wallpaper wasn't quite intact and had started to decay. I wanted to show this ageing process, and screen printing  shows the feel of that decay.
 Cotton loopback sweatshirt fabric was an important choice to print on, the aged effect is similar to the feeling you get from a well loved sweatshirt.
Each colour way helps to tell the colour story of my collection.
"When seeking creativity usually my genuine feelings lead me to the beginning of something amazing and give me the strength to continue an incredible yet challenging journey until it comes to a satisfactory conclusion".

Woven Fabric

 Picking up some of my fabric from Vanners, there was some of my fabric still on the loom.
The circle skirt made from a selection of my woven fabric the result of a 11 week wait. Inspired by the techniques of Shingo Sato.
