Textile design









So, for the past two weeks i've been studying textile design. the theme for this project was pattern and texture. we had to basically go and find pattern and texture in certain objects/forms. i chose to look at different features of buildings and after many sketches i settled on two aspects to look at; chimney pots - mainly the silhouette they create against the sky, and these wee pyramid things on top of the art school roof!
we had to then develop these ideas into patterns which were then made on a large scale, 2meter strips of wall paper and A1 sheets of paper.
these are photographs of my final outcomes.

Great Lake Swimmers - Pulling On A Line [Official Music Video]


I want to sit in a boat in the middle of the forest at night surrounded by cool lamps.
oh, wouldn't that be grand?
