Was really excited the other day because I did some more stationery for my scarfs collection, like an order form etc - Spurred to do it as my scarves (and Southwold collection cushions) are currently on show in Painswick, Stroud, at the Gloucestershire guild of Craftsmen Summer Exhibition.

How the scarf collection evolved



The scarf collection for my final project for the textiles degree emerged from a group of experimental drawing using some new brush pens.  I'd admired some drawing which seemed to effortlessly combine drawn lines of varying completeness and thickness etc etc. I had actually bought the pens as a (somewhat naive) substitute for chineses brushes, which i really wanted to try out. What emerged from just having a muck around, was some quite free looking images that were very quick and enjoyable to do.  I wanted to keep the colour pallette to a minimum to add impact, and had chosed mustard after a session on looking at colour trends in fashion.

Collection of work - a compilation of styles...

This is a collection of my work over last three years at Bath Spa Uni - the images were compiled to show my different styles, prepared for a submission to a card company
