Textiles Experimenting

In textiles i made two outfits for the fashion show, firstly i made the brown waistcoat, the finished piece is in the images below, i left it at that stage because i wanted to make other garments and i wasn't into that anymore as i rushed it slightly therefore it wasn't made the the standard i would have liked unfortunately. Below are a few variations of ways to wear the item, i prefer the top one.

Below is the head piece for my favourite item for the fashion show. Inspired by birds, i made this outfit and as simple as it is i really love it and i really enjoyed working with wire using the different wire for different roles of the outfit to make it fit fairly comfortably for any size model.

This picture is midway through making the body of the wire outfit, at this point i was happily surprised with the outcome as again i didn't plan anything i just manipulated the wire in random ways to see what i came up with. Like my fashion illustrations it seems to have a very modern futuristic look which i like, whilst i think looking rather elegant.

2D session

In this session i wanted to try speed painting, using a large head paint brush and mixing the paint straight on the paper, i wanted them to stand out and be really in your face. I painted these by quickly dipping the brush in a clump of paint and just slapping and squiggling the paint on the paper, taking no time to think or be precise, and spending no more than a second with my brush on the paper at once. I actually really enjoyed this method as it was constant and didn't bore me because i was constantly excited about the next brush stroke to see what the image would end up like, i would definitely do this again as the finished pieces i thought were good and it was fun.
