DBB Summative Assesment . . .

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.

Willow Weaving . . .

As a treat on the last week of college we had a professional basket weaver in to teach us some things and bring in materials for us to have a go...here are some of mine and also what i progressed with involving string and wool...

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.

Tunisian Crochet Jumper: Progress. . .

It has been hard work and i am no where near completing it, however i have had some issues along the way, mainly that my gauge was all off cause i was using a smaller hook size, so after redesigning the pattern to work for the size of hook I had, realising i was missing 4 stitches for every 11 I had already done. Now im just concentrating on the colour combinations and hoping I wont run out of colours, cause I cant remeber where they all came from.....

Tunisian Crochet Jumper

Currently following a sleeve pattern, chain 30, increase every 5th row at both ends until row 58, so far so good. Im also playing around with two colour crochet to get an interesting stripped pattern on the go.

Transformers Complete

Transformers Tunisian Crochet Progress

The Transformers Tunisian Crochet is coming along nicely, unsure what to make it in to...a pillow, a wall hanging...only two more squares to stitch and then it will be complete letter N and E. Over the course of making this piece i have learnt that tunisian crochet is alot eaiser than i first thought, yet keeping the tension when adding in so many colours is tricky, so i decided to make alot of the letter designs alot simpler.
