Week Nine and Ten

These past two weeks I’ve focused purely on my Dissertation and Professional & Employability Presentation meaning sampling and developing has been put on hold.  However, when making my presentation it gave me the opportunity to thoroughly look through all my work so far and define and improve my collections. 

Before I had mentioned having the one collection including textures, dying and devore processes all together, now after seeing how much variation you can achieve individually with each of the print processes I’ve decided to split the collection up into two smaller ones. 

Sheer Fabrics Collection 1

Collection one will consist of more sheer voiles, silks and satins in a delicate colour palette of whites focusing on texture & pattern alone to represent the bleaching and destruction of the coral reefs.

Velvet & Cotton Collection 2

Collection two will focus on dying and devore to demonstrate the colour transition aspect of my concept, I want to use the velvets and cotton I’ve been sampling on within this to compliment the rich colour palette.

Textured Linen Collection 3

Evaluating my prints so far has also inspired me for thought on a third collection, this one will demonstrate multiple colours per design, I’ll use the split screen method to produce these and the linens I've sampled on for added texure. 

Collection three is to represent the colour and pattern found before the coral reefs started dying out but correspond with my high end fabrics for interior context as intended with collection one and two.
