This is my favourite part of design process when I am able to gather all information I have researched and studied and compile into my own original ideas.

This is a close up example of my experimental developments. I love to break up the images and point out elements of it which I like or I would change. This not only helps me but help others understand my ideas and the stages I go through to come up with my final piece.

During my studies we had many lesson based on observations. One of the challenges we where given was to draw with a limited amount of time. This lead to me feeling less attached to my work and enabled me to draw more loose drawings.

In this sketchbook are examples of examples of patch work a sewing skills. The theme of this work was decay, we learnt different ways to die the fabrics using tie dye techniques. We also used tools to burn and melt the fabrics and also fray and distress them.

... We also tried these technique on different fabrics, this way we have a range of textures and the techniques can be compared on the different materials. For example, the scrim fabric was very easy to distress and the calico was better for the die as it soaked up the dye better.

Unfortunately i am not able to get a hold of the majority of my sketchbook however I do have a few images of them which could give you an understanding of my presentation.
I like to involve lots of imagery in my sketch books and make the pages feel busy and exiting. I include pockets and flaps which help the viewer interact with my work.
