Design / Idea development

From the ten previous motifs i created, i made additional designs and idea development which were different to my motifs in the way that i used more media and experimented more with the sewing machine and even scratched at a few samples with a craft knife creating a different type of texture. I really enjoyed creating these samples.

Rebecca Stoner

On the link above gives you access to Rebecca's full website, the images below are my three favourite collections she has done. I really like the use of colour and how they all seem to have some similarities. It shows a good use of a 'collection'.

Natalie Ratcliffe

Also the link above gives access to Natalie's profile. I really like how she uses prints a lot in her designs, being a printmaker as well gives her that added ability to create her own personal designs and put her stamp on them.
