Two very productive and enjoyable days at college doing lots of things I really like doing... sticking glueing, drawing. Our brief this module is to design two different scarves in different colourways. Lots of the drawings I've been doing over the summer and more recently have come together to build a final overall design. I have experimented with lots of different placement ideas using iconic liberty scarves, and other designers - Hermes, Swash and Lacroix for inspiration. I've played with simple repeat designs in a William Morris style, they were pleasing but not quite right. I tried changing the scale and making a picture scarf inspired by Swash scarves and it started to look more interesting.

But in the end I decided to go with Lacroix inspiration and do a bold linear design for one scarf and a random large border design to be hand coloured for the second design.
To this end I have spent all day being a typical art student - up late and then in my jim jams all day slaving over a hot light box tracing up line drawings ready to hand colour and possibly even collage - more glueing and sticking!!!!
