Fifteen


At the beginning of the week I reviewed my samples, picking out the best to develop into finals. During my tutorial we discussed how to combine techniques and achieve the subtleties within my sketchbook. I have been using foiling on some of my knit but i'm not sure if it is working; I think it needs to be more sensitively applied or I might eliminate it from the final collection, as the sample below doesn't really need it.

I have also made progress with the Batsford project, using the heat press and gold paint to manipulate the contact lens cases. They now have a more antique and precious look and I think will work better in the knit. I have found the latex gloves, when shredded and woven in are quite successful too, providing an unusual texture.
