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 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.

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.
