3D Big Ben cushion

I have finally managed to finish my 3D Big Ben cushion and Im happy with how its turned out. I think the print has came out really nicely and I like how its simple yet fun. 

Neck Piece Ideas

Carrying on from my London inspired cushion project, I had to make a neck piece also inspired by my chosen country or city. I took a variety of pictures of different layouts for my neck piece, I used my own 2D and 3D drawings to pin onto my mannequin to create unique layouts for my neck piece.

Day Out

The other day I went to Stewart's Park and came across this interesting tiled floor pattern. I love the matching blues and reds that have been used on this tile flooring because the colours complement each other and also I think the design is fun and unique.

Never judge a book by its cover...

I went a bit crazy on Amazon the other day and ended up buying a few books. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting down with a cup of tea and a brand new book.

My Final Cushion

I have finally finished my London inspired cushion. It took me ages to decide my final colours and print, however I finally chose red and blue because I think these colours are patriotic for London. I decided to use silver foiling for the middle of my print because I wanted my cushion to look unique and royal. I'm really pleased with how my cushion turned out although it was a pain to put together it was worth it in the end because my cushion turned out amazing!

Kodatrace and Screen Printing

 

After my trip out to London I became inspired to draw from my own photos, using different medias. Once I had decided which drawing I would like to print onto a cushion I decided to start my Kodatrace design. I chose my drawing of Big Ben to put onto my Kodatrace because its such an iconic building and I think it would look effective for a cushion design.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once I had put my Kodatrace onto a screen I then began to dye fabrics and print on them. Both of my samples have a tie dye effect for the background and then I have printed my design with black pigment for both samples. I am really pleased with how my design turned out because its detailed and looks effective on the tie dyed backgrounds.

 

 

Day out in London

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a brilliant day out in London a couple of weeks ago and I took pictures of the sights and things that inspired me. I took pictures of the iconic Big Ben clock and the London eye for primary research for my new project of a chosen country or city of my choice and I decided to pick London because it is one of my favourite cities in the world.
