Sunday drawing!

London continued

I just love the colour in some of these images-great inspiration for a new colour palette.

London

I recently visited London for some inspiration for my next project. I want to create a collection based on Islamic design, tiles, fashion and architecture.  Here are a few snaps from my trip!

In Bloom

Geometrics

Design a day

At new designers Tigerprint launched their design a day competition so I thought I'd give it a go to keep me motivated throughout the summer. Each day we are given a theme,  this is what I have done so far....

Nickisha Atkinson

Whilst at New Designers on Saturday I found this designer Nickisha Atkinson, a textile designer specialising in screen print and digital prints. I love her use of colour, and the boldness of her designs, I also like her use of the drawn line and painterly marks.

Colour inspiration

Playing around with some colour inspiration found on Pinterest.

Some wrap, stationary and gift designs from one of my latest projects, I hope you like my colour palette as much as I do...

Work from a competiton we did with Tigerprint Studios back in February.

I love to draw

Flowers is definitely one of my favourite things to draw!

Indigo

I thought I would share with you some of the work I have been creating so far this year. Here is a sample of my fashion fabrics I sent to Indigo in February of this year. They were high fashion prints influeced by floral motifs and geometric shapes. I printed them digitally onto silk twill-Hope you like them!

New Designers

Yesterday I had a little day trip down to London to visit New Designers to give me an insight into what I am aiming for for next year. I have to say I was very impressed. So much talent-well done Leeds college of art girls your stand was truly amazing!

I have just completed a weeks placement at Tigerprint Studio in Bradford, I had a fabulous time creating my own alphabet and designs for wrap and bags, and they have asked me back for another week yipee!!

I am approaching the start of my third year so have decided it's about time I start a new blog to document all my inspirations, visits, drawings, processes and designs and share it with all you lovely people.
