Beach Huts and Collaboration with The Fashion Lab

I'm very pleased to be collaborating with Fiona from The Fashion Lab - she is putting together an inspiration board for ideas for textile designs for the children's wear market - here is a selection of my work she has for the inspiration board.....

- a link to The Fashion Lab blog - really inspirational imagery on there!!!

The work comes from a 'card design' project I did during my textile degree course, and was in response to a brief set by a card company (paperclip) (see some of my cards in early blogs i think) - the work above combined scans of textile prints i did using heat press transfer / disperse dyes (floral and dots) and watercolour, ink and pastel drawing.  There is a fair bit of collage too which is really fun and effective.
