5th march


During the lesson, we were set 30 minute exercises. From our previous research on skirts, shirts and sleeves we developed design ideas. (30mins skirts, 30mins shirts and 30mins sleeves). I managed to do 5 sheets of shirts, which I was very happy with, considering the previous week during the same exercise I found it difficult to pool my ideas. I think that practising these quick exercises is improving my performance significantly and will hopefully continue to do so.
Later on in the week I continued to research my theme, and found several new images. Taking a trip to London Central proved to be a successful day of research. I was lucky enough to spot a window display at Selfridges, presented with an Alice in Wonderland theme (contributing to the newly released film), in which the scene with the long tea party table and the mad hatter was created. This all fitted brilliantly with my theme, with vintage looking ornaments and objects stacked on the tables along with antiquated books, rugs and wooden chairs. On my way to the fabric shops, I came across a small shop crammed full of antique chandeliers and light fittings with gold details and crystals, I found the shop amazing and took many photos.
