Through these designs I wanted to be able to include What I learned from the first part of this field module, Drawing Philosophy, To be more expressive with my work. As unfortunately I didn’t experiment much with textiles in the first half because my content in my drawings wasn’t very inspirational enough to experiment with. Now I can take what I learned and use it in this half of the module which now gets the ball rolling for my textiles designs.
These examples have been created by heat press paints and various material types. With heat press, the more vibrant colours come out on synthetic fabrics but I have used both synthetic and natural to get different effects. Many of these designs have grown from the smaller quick sketches from the gardens and the park. Some have come out really well like the one above.
The above design is of an abstract swan from the park, I created this by expressing more through my way of drawing, this is what a style that I developed from drawing philosophy. This heat pressed and layered on more designs worked out really well.
Again this is a representation of the water.
I love this design above, it is a layering of wood markings and knots. I creates such an organic feel and works really well on fabric so it desirable to drape and touch.
