Busy, Busy, Busy!

So as FMP continues and the deadline gets closer and closer I have been busy filling my sketchbook, experimenting and even made my first final piece! heres a bit of what I've been up too! ... (sorry the photos are all weird angles I had trouble uploading them!)

Stencilling time!

I had a go at some stencilling today using a pattern I had found on my trip to London museums!

Lino prints ...

Here are my some of the lino prints I did this week!x

Fmp continues!

Here's just a few patterns Ive created for my FMP sketch book! The patterns are inspired by pieces I saw in the V&A and The British Museum!

More Patterns...

As part of my FMP I have researched Moroccan tiles, I really love the vast number of patterns, colours and uses these tiles have. I drew a couple of tiles from some photos I found and used Photoshop to add colour and rescale.

Henna Response ...

I did some basic research into henna prints and drew my own in response.

Patterns based on Indian prints!

As part of my FMP I have started to look at Indian patterns and prints, I based these patterns on some of the designs I found!

Mmmm early birthday cake !

 Proving that patterns can be on anything! ... this is a delicious early birthday cake made for me from my mums partner! its all edible including the patterns! Amazing stuff!

Supermarket Sarah!

As part of my FMP research I found this beautiful display by Supermarket Sarah, Luckily for me it is all based upon patterns, from Patternity!

Pinterest!

As part of my FMP I have started pinning inspirational images to my mood on Pinterest!

FMP begins!!

So scary times! We've just started our final major projects for Art foundation! I have chosen to do mine on ethnic prints and patterns as i love the surface patterns, history and colours associated with this theme! ... heres my initial mood board for the project!

Last project over before FMP starts!!

I've just finished the 'Brighton Bazaar' project, now to start Final major project!! ... heres my final instilation for the project!

Brighton screen printing!

I spent this morning silk screen printing fabric for my canvas as part of the Brighton project I am doing as part of my art foundation course!
My inspiration for this project has come from the white railings on Brighton pier!

Brighton pier railings patterns!

After our trip to Brighton I have decided to base my instillation on the railings on the pier! I love the patterns within the railings and how versatile and interesting they are to work with! I have just created these patterns using a line drawing I have done of the railings and photoshop to create these persian rug looking patterns!

New project = Research research research!!

We've just started our brighton themed interior project so Ive done a bit of research into chairs, wallpieces and lighting!

(Oh So) Beautiful Papers!

I looveee this post by (Oh So) Beautiful Papers! The patterns and prints on the stationary have a strong ethnic fabric theme which works well in the crisp modern colours used!

Biology!

After cleaning out my room I found this old revision book of my mums! I love the striking look of it, it has a really 80's and graphic feel to it!

First stencil!

 I was in an ' I dont know what to do mood' so I cut this simple stencil from a piece of acetate and then printed it on to a plain cotton apron. The fabric paint was a much more florescent colour than it looked on the label but I think this adds a fresh and Spring feel to it! ... Sorry for the bad photos the lighting's awful in here!
