Why I've started this blog...

I'm currently studying part-time for an MA in Fashion and the Environment, specialising in textiles, at London College of Fashion. This blog is part of my Unit 1 submission - New Perspectives in Fashion - which I finish in March 2011. I've started this blog as a way of trying to organise my ideas, inspiration and designs. I'm making the blog and also keeping a paper sketch book, but I hope the blog will encourage me to collect inspirational images online rather than printing them out to stick in my sketch book, and save a bit of paper and ink! I'm not sure how the sketch book and blog will go together yet, but I hope they'll compliment each other. I also hope that by sharing my ideas and samples, other people will think about what sustainability means for textiles and offer me some ideas too!

Photograms

In an effort to create pattern from my textiles I exposed the patchwork onto photographic paper. I love the way the opaque seams block the light and I think the pattterns created are nicer than the original textiles. I want to try and use the textiles I've made to create secondary patterns on other people, as a kind of gift. I've very crudely illustrated this with little images of t-shirts and dresses patterned from the photograms.
