Tufting :)

Hello! Hope you have all had a good and productive week! I no I have! :) I have spent a lot of time on the tuft machine making samples for my final show! It's not long now till deadline and I have been finalising bits and pieces. Today I made a trip to ikea to get props for the degree show, whilst there I also got a base for my table top lampshade which I am now very proud off! I can't wait to share my final show pictures but for now pictures of my tuft designs will have to do.  The images below show a selection of pictures from my tuft designs. I hope you like it :) keep and eye out for another post as I get closer to deadline :) x

Hello again, I thought I would share with you what I have been up to this week. I have been planning my display for my degree show, sorting through my sketchbooks, busy with visualisations and trying to add something a bit different into my project. I got my lampshades back and I'm so please with them, they are much better then what I ever thought they would be and I'm so excited to see them up on display. However I think I need something different to add to the display, I have have been weaving with my designs on tracing paper to give it that abstract distorted look while keeping the detail drawing aspect to it as well. The following photos are a few examples of what I have done. Please excuse the quality of the photos, they were taken with my phone in my bedroom. Thanks for your time again, I'll keep you posted of what is happening over the next three weeks leading up to deadline.

Hi there, I have been absent over the last couple of days, been very busy with university. I have been designing my final lampshade designs, getting them printed and choosing what sizes to have them. It has been a difficult choice to make as I like them all so much so found it difficult to commit. However after a lot of hard work and trying lots of different things out, I have finally committed to my three final designs to be made into lampshades. I've made the decision to have three different sizes, one 58 inches high, one 46 inches high and the final one 36 inches high. I'm really pleased with this decision and like how they have turned out. They have been packed up and are ready to go! I'm so excited for this, can't wait to see the final outcomes :) I have also got my business cards as well which look very professional. Deadline is coming fast now, but I feel that I am getting there just a few more weeks of hard work and then I'm going to sleep for a week, drink cocktails and celebrate my degree show with my family and friends! The pictures below with show my digital designs printing off the dye printer, my business cards and finally my designs packed and ready to go :)
