Dissertation

DISSERTATION TIME!!!

Well on Friday 29th November I handed in my dissertation! Wooohooo!

Well this is it! My title was 'The History and uses of Scaves: A disscussion how Scaves originated and How they have Changed.' 

A total of 5467 words without quotes! It was a hard journey to get to the end but it will be well worth it when I get my marks back!! 

I was so happy on hand in day that when I got a picture taken I didn't care about my hair, you will also see Lucy on the right. 

        

One of the happiest days!! 

Minor project done!

I have finally finished my minor project. This project has been a tuff one! My project was about travel and 'The attraction of the worlds based on tourism.' My aim was to create a collection of 8 scarves! 

Theses are my colour boards and my market board: 

My drawings were based on landmarks that I had visited in the past for example: the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. I wanted my drawing to become very quick and experimental, but add a digital side to it.

My final collection: 

These ones are 90cm x 90cm:

The following 4 are all 70cm x 180cm.

My favorite one is the last one; this one is made from 100% cotton. It was a basic line drawing of a London telephone box, with a very pale background. As I had steamed and washed the fabric, all of the design had washed out and turned it to a  horrible pink. 

To make this better I decide to tie dye the fabric as it was a mess to begin with. So I soaked the fabric in cold water and from the middle I twisted in to a ball: 

This shows the ball with the colours raspberry and blackcurrant I had decided to do the same colour the opposite section as this would turn out quite different. Then I tured it over to do the same on the other side but where it is blank on this side, I have decided to fill those sections in. This what what it looked like:

When I washed and dried it, it looked amazing and I loved the turn out! I also like the pattern that it left on my backing cloth! 

This gave me sure inspiration for my Major Project! 

On hand it I presented my bay very professional : 

Next time I will be posting about my disseration hand in :/
