LACE LACE LACE!!

Today I went to the Fashion Museum in Bath and viewed their collection of lace, it was beautiful and has really inspired me... time to do some drawing! Here are a few photo's I took whilst I was there...

Lace designs...

Beginning to translate initial drawings into 'lace' designs for laser cutting and flocking on large fabric hangings...

The beginning of the end...

Initial biro drawings for translation into lace designs for my degree show project...

A 'New Lace'...

Some photo's of my samples/ideas from this personal project. Designs are either laser cut or are flocking which I have had cut on the plotter cutter and then transfered onto different surfaces including fabric and glass using the heat press. I love the intricacy and delicate feel and the look of them when they are held up to the light or a window and the white flock appears almost black and they become more transparent. I hope to develop these ideas further for my final degree show and produce large scale pieces...

Third Year Personal Project: Initial Drawing...

For my personal project I have focused on the idea of creating a new lace...
To achieve this I began by drawing from lace and flora and started producing designs which have obvious associations with lace but with more of a contemporary feel and approach. Now we've handed the project in I have time to post some images! Here are some of my initial drawings...
