GCE AS Textiles Component 1 — African Culture

03:13

Secondary Skull Observations
The observations were developed with shading pencils. I also scanned the image into photoshop to try and create a repeating pattern. The skull was developed for the final piece by adding hand embroidery like Izziyana Suhaimi and experimenting with freehand machine embroidery.

Laser Cutting Developmental Experiments
I first tried to create a successful pattern in which was inspired by African Tribal prints and then developed this on the computer to print out on the laser cutter.
Design Ideas
I tried to bring together the work within my sketchbook and I tried to create strong artist links in order to ensure that they were clear and that the garment was successful. 
 The design ideas were meant to portray a varied use of colour and pattern which links to the African culture theme.
Final Design Idea
My final design idea above was a jacket that used varied fabrics for texture and embroidery details. The laser cutting made was added onto the front of the pockets and reverse appliqué was used to make a statement of the back of the jacket.
