Extreme winter sports drawings....

When doing this part of my brief I have found that I am finding it hard to get it to fit in with the fabric manipulation side of my project. I feel like I am going to stop doing the winter sports and just concentrate on doing the 1920's section and the fabric manipulation this will make it more simple to create links between just the 2 topics not 3 extremely different topics. 

Inspiring artists/designers

Diane Watson....

                                     

Imogen Heath......

                                      

Both these artists are very inspirational towards my work but are very different one is home made the other isn't they both produce amazing work including different shapes and a veriaty of colours.

Making my proposal for my final project of first year.....

When looking through my work I have done I have seen that I haven't really connected with one to develop it as much as I would like to but in coming up with my own brief I feel like I would be able to connect properly and produce a large and good volume of work. I have a large interest in the manipulation of fabrics and feel that this could be a good starting point for my project within the bracket of this I will look at pleating, smocking, embroidery hand or machine, and taking inspiration from the last project and concentrating on the concept of handcrafted. 

Within using fabric manipulation I want to try and parts of winter sports and inspiration from the 1920's as well. This is rater a lot of different things to try and encorporate together but I will see how it goes and if it doesn't work I will have to re think my idea. 

A main body of my research will be towards cushions and the fronts of them and how I can make they eye catching with textural unique covers.
