Image 1 - Carolina Melis has created a series of hand stitched embroiderys. I find the way she applys thread to material intriging, the hand stitched marks with added buttons, feathers and cute animals.
Image 2 - Eleanor bowley also works with stitch and embroidary. I admire her composition and use of materials. She works with lace, old book pages and buttons.
Image 3 - The third image is from home and antiques magazine february o9. It brings back nostalgia to me as my nanna and mother are hawders of beautiful blue, floral antique crockery. The antiques they own have been a huge inspiration for me in previous projects.
Image 4 - My great grandmother had given my mother a bundle of old recipes cut out of newspapers and magazines. I was routing through them one day and found this advert and it made me smile. I adore the text and style of advertisment. It makes me think about traditional seaside holidays and how back then they were very exciting, the main holiday of the year.
Image 5 - This image is from Loughbourgh college of art and design graduate 07. I havent got the name of the artist but this image i feel will never grow old on me. I love the experimental style of it with 'accidental' blue and brown marks it gives it a worked into look. I like the way the printed patterin fades in the background and the dog stands out and proud.
Me as a designer...
My style is quite personal. I find inspiration around my family home and home town. My nanna is a huge inspiration to me. She is a hawder of many exiting creative objects.
In my first year i have discovered my passion for paper. I have made good use of my huge box filled with papers with many patterns and styles i have collected over the years. They consisit from plain gift tissue paper, used envelopes and packaging to old wallpapers from my home.
I feel my work has become comical from my russian doll project and my previous paper passion project.
I enjoy looking at images that bring a smile to your face. In my work i aim to connect to my audience making it a universal theme.
Im looking forward to my second year as i will really get to no myself as a designer.
