Hartman...

Just before we left for our Christmas holidays from university, we were asked to have a copy of one of our chosen designs, with the collection name and colour palette and also a copy of our concept board to be sent to Hartman for feeback...This is what i put together to send...

Colour Palette...

This is my chosen colour palette for this collection...

Design Experiments...

The images below are of my design experiments so far using my own drawings within photoshop to create repeats...

Concept Board...

My board contains images that have inspired me and my colour palette, my own drawings, collection title; 'Delicate Structures' and my colour palette itself...

Scan 'n' Sew...

These two fabric pieces were created using the scan 'n' sew programme...The inspiration taken from the detailed skeletal structure of leaves and flowers...

More Drawings and Research...

Here are a selection of images taken from my drawings and my research sketchbook...

'The technical side'...

This project involves the digital side of embroidery, using a variety of programs to create different digitally embroidered pieces...

These 2 images are my first attempt at the 'Janome Scan 'n' Sew', a machine that scans in your own drawings and allows you to transfer onto a machine for it to digital sew for you onto the fabric of your choice and using the yarn colours of your choice as well...

These next 2 images are of the piece i created on 'Customizer', a program that allows you to take a scan of your own imagery/drawings, then edit them, select stitch types, stitch size, stitch colour, etc, and once completed, save to a flashcard which you then slot into one of the certain sewing machines and it stitches the design for you...

Research...

I have started a research sketchbook where i am placing any research, imagery, articles, etc that relate to this brief and my chosen concept...Below are a selection of pages from this book...
