Design Development . . .

Currently we are working towards a final design from the material we gathered and created over our last module. Starting with pot holes, cracks in the road and knitted jumpers with holes in, i have created these few drawings slowly evolving and developing them.

Crochet QR - Code . . .

I really love the idea of a QR-code, a way of hiding information in a geometric design, i decided i would have a go at crocheting one, unknown what i will use it for, and i am very happy that it worked and can be read by a QR-code scanner on my phone. Can you see what it says?? I used this generator to create the code.

Tapestry Crochet . . .

After being asked to make a chair cover for a computer wheely chair which will be covered in retro game 8-bit designs i have been practicing my tapestry crochet so i can use a variety of colours. this is a space invader and a mushroom from mario.

Transformers Crochet Pillow . . .

Made this a while ago but as the boyfriends birthday was coming up i decided to do somthing with it. Crocheted onto a huge 58x58cm pillow, sooo very comfy.

Monoprints and Crochet . . .

Using images of pot holes and cracks in the road i created a few monoprints on tracing paper. Putting them back to back in the photocopier creates quite interesting layers, and build up of line. Just a few images of monoprints and then one i crocheted on top of adding texture.

Studio Space . . .

Some shots of my Studio Space currently, working on a project Collections and Fascinations, i am looking into holes, starting with knitted jumpers, currently looking at pot holes, and cracks in the roads. Maybe trying to fix holes.

Just finished setting up all my work for Drawing Beyond Boundaries Summative Assesment, the final assesment of this module. Includes all of the work i have done for this module.

DBB 3D Wire Fish Drawing . . .

From the original drawing to this finished wire fish. Just a few images of the detail, which i think over all is much more interesting than the fish as a whole.

Consolodation Project Contiuned . . .

Thursday is the deadline for this mini project and these are some images of all the woven forms i have made. Sadly i feel this project could contiue in so many ways, however i could use it futher down the line im sure, so due to more development that could be done im not soo sure that i am consolidated but i dont have time to try out all of the things i have thought of. Must wrap it up in another way.

Drawing Beyond Boundaries - Working with Wire . . .

Another drawing beyond boundaries excerise, this emcompasses collages we have previously created, sampling some of the mark making to draw in and decorate the body of a fish. This then developed into the creation of a wire sculpture or drawing in wire based on that drawing. Not yet finished.

Consolodation Project . . .

Current project at HCA continuing from Experimenting with Materials using the qualities in our samples that we found most interesting. The aim is to develop these features futher and see where the journey takes you.

Using the three dimensional woven samples and the techniques i had learnt whilst willow weaving i have produced woven spherical forms.

Drawing Beyond Boundaries - Fold and Draw . . .

To prepare you will need a large sheet of paper and we used decorated china for our patterns
1. Fold your sheet of paper as many ways as you like.
2. Cut out a view finder in a similar shape to your piece of folded paper, lay it on your pattern of choice.
3. Copy out that pattern in colour.
4. and 5. are both sides of the same sheet.

6. Plan which side you wish to draw on and fold accordingly.
7. Cut out a view finder of a similar shape to your folded paper.
8. Copy the pattern using only black and greys.

Open out and if you folded correctly the majority of the black will be on the same side and the majority of the colour. It is a little different and often lots of white space is left but you could continue folding then drawing. Maybe pick 3 colours you like, purple, pink, and yellow, do each layer an indiviual colour and then end with black.

African Flower Hexagon Shoe Accessories . . .

After finding a tutorial on how to crochet Flower Hexagons from Hedi Bears Blog and seeing the shoe refashioning on OutsaPop i pieced two and two together to refashion some boots.

Following the tutorial to the letter, other than i only have a 4mm hook, i chained 30 to create a loop to slip the hexagon over the boot and sit nicely on the outside ankle.

Crochet Christmas Pressies . . .

Just a few things I crocheted as Christmas pressies for people, two pairs of fingerless gloves...and a paper chain scarf...

Drawing Beyond Boundaries . . .

We have had a series of tasks involving song lyrics, mine were Helter Skelter- the Beatles, and these lyrics have been the focus of a collagraph print, a scraffito, and other drawings. This is my desk currently at uni for a DBB Assesment, and also two views of a concertina book i also made based on those words.
