Patterns from car parts- Jaguar E Type
I am getting sooo excited about starting a new collection of prints- Everything is inspiring me! A trip to brighton last week gave me a few ideas for print motifs.
Progression of work throughout the RCA shows; first images SHOW RCA -Final MA collection, Image 3 and 4 'Work in progress Jan 2011', experimenting with Engineered placement prints and Juxtaspostion of geometrics. Final image - WIP 2010 commercial floral print all heat transferred peices.
The CANTEEN, a fabulous british resturant on Baker Street. I went with my sister who is currently working to design restaurant fittings-we noticed that the layout/tables have been designed to make you feel as if youre sat in an old railway carriage. Great colour pallete and fresh modern furniture to contemporize the original concept. Amazing food too.
