Mannequin Made on Illustrator

Check out my weave!

My hand woven plain weave, weaving is quite a relaxing thing to do

Triangles Circles and Squares Oh no!

I was asked to create some different design using these three shapes, one shape for each design and heres what they looked like:

The Circle design are my least favorite by far, I think they just don't work well compared to the other designs.

I rather like the black square design even though it would be more of a cat walk design then a practical design.                                                                           

The right design is my favorite by far of all my designs, I think the chained triangles just work and would make a brilliant garment. the chained effect reminds me of knitted, crochet and lace pieces

Pattern blocks

Using the original image I've created different pattern blocks

Block pattern 

Half drop pattern

Vertical mirror pattern

Horizontal mirror pattern

The horizontal mirror pattern is my favorite because I think it flows better compared to the others.

Shell pattern block

This is the half drop pattern created on photoshop. It has a distinctive diagonal pattern running parallel  through out it.

Decay - Rust

For our surrounding brief I decided to look at decay as my theme.

The two artist that stood out the most both made art using rust but in different ways. Their art work has a elament of time and colour that is really insperational. 

The first image is of a piece of work by Dan Dempster. He creates his work by submerging his work in the ocean and letting the natural world create the rust patterns so every piece is unique.

The second image is ark work by Tony Reason. He also creates work using rust, wax, copper and other metals on canvas.

Shell Filters

Using a more detailed stamp block, in a paler colour to soften the image and adding a coloured background to create the shell pattern block.

                                                        Base Relief                    Cut Out      

      Emboss                                                         Liquify                                                            Stamp

This is the original piece of work scanned in to edit. After drawing and shading using ink, I free stitched embroidered it on the domestic sewing machines. After  uploading to Photoshop I cropped it and played around with the filters to get these effects.......
