Second Year - Crown and Paper Project













During the summer holidays I was sent a brief which said I had to make an object from a range of items which included, leaves, newspaper, magazines, brown paper and wire. Taking inspiration from the Olympic Games which were currently on, I decided to make a crown out of these items. Once I had made the crown I started to develop some drawings and designs using the crowns and leaves which I had made.

Once I returned to University at the start of term, I was able to start developing my designs into fabrics. I created a range of hand woven samples which used strips of newspaper print, yellow pages and brown paper in the weft.

It was also our first oppurtunity to produce some designs on the jacquard. Please click on this link to view both my hand woven and jacquard samples.
