Inspiration Boards

3 inspiration boards, exotic, romantic and sophisticated, we had to carefully select the images then fabric swatch accordingly then make paint chips to tie the boards together. The Americans have a completely different take on these inspiration boards and when i get home i don't think i will be able to do one the same again, our teacher is extremely picky and every image and swatch has to be exactly right. The type of fabric has to incorporate the mood the weight and thickness of the fabric has to be exactly what would be used in those situations not just a perfect colour match. Its a really interesting learning about colour Analysis and the mood effects but what shades you use.

Movement

I had a project where i had to capture movement without the figure being blured,i thought the best way to capture this would to use a piece of fabric so that it would enhance her movements.

Raouls

I went to the quaintest restaurant this week where i am sure the best steak is served in New York, a little old women with grey wispy hair comes to the table and reads your tarot cards while you have dinner.

Sleeves For Pattern Cutting

In my pattern cutting class we have to make a creative sleeve of our own along with a puffed top and bottom sleeve, pattern cutting is my most challenging class i take but the one i enjoy the most, working from a list of instructions to make a flat design and the be able to see it in 3D and then make it has been really difficult for me. This week i have researched Tudor sleeves and elaborate over the top puffed sleeve designs for ispiration, i have created a sleeve that is exaggerated at the top and then goes into a ruffled arm and then an oversized cuff.
