Dog task

One of my tasks at college was to create a dog that looked like 

ourselves, so I selected an Afghan hound simply because I have

long, blonde hair. I won first prize in the dog competition.

Final Show exhibition

 This is a view of the board I had to display my work on. The top

piece is a large scale screen printed fabric and the bottom

piece is some hand printed wallpaper.

 Chest with my screen printed fabrics spilling out.

 A pillar in the centre of the room in which I had a little

extra space to display some work on.Two wallpapers,

three lampshades, a chair and a chest of fabrics.

 This is a view of the pillar with my work on and you can 

see in the background my board of fabric and wallpaper. 

A few layouts

I think this layout works well because the only colours 

used are grey and pink. The background colour of the 

chair pulls out the little circles of pink on the lamp.    

Two wallpapers lined up to create the pattern carrying on.

To the right is some of my fabrics folded to give little

gimples of the pattern.

Lampshade 2

Originally I made this design up as wallpaper but

then decided to cut it up and make it into a lamp.

 The base for the lampshades are old bits of

drift wood, picked up from Orwell Shore.



Wallpaper 5

This wallpaper is the same as Wallpaper 2, but here 

I changed the colour scheme to light grey on to dark

grey and off set every other collum. 



Chair for my Final Major Project

The pattern on the chair is based on Lichen found on trees.

I cut the repeated design out of newsprint and screenprinted

it on to hand died fabric.

I picked this chair up from a junk shop for £3, brought it

home and cleaned the paint up then using a sander I distressed

sections of the paint to create a used look. Then I pulled off the

old fabric covering and turned the chair upside down and using 

upholstery nails I attached the fabric in place.

Wallpaper 3 & 4

Wallpaper 2

This is a length of wallpaper printed in neutral 

colours using a lino cut, which I think adds

some interest with the distressed lines.

Wallpaper 1

Lampshade 1

As part of my Final major show for College, I plan 

to create a range of fabrics and wallpapers sticking to a theme

of Circles. 

This lampshade is going to be part of a set of 3.

I made this lampshade by dying cotton fabric a light grey 

with a hint of purple, and I also dyed some cotton pink which is the 

circles underneath the pattern, which was created by

a lino print.

Decorating the baby's room

 

To decorate this room my Mum and I projected the 

image we wanted on to the wall and using a darker 

shade of pink we painted over the projected image.

One of my 100 tasks set for homework was to draw Haywain
