I just realised that I went through the entire first year without doing anything about florals. This is amazing! When I came here I wanted to push myself to try new things and keep my themes and ideas fresh, and I feel like I have done that quite well. Continue reading

Who needs luck anyway?
AsĀ if things weren’t going badly enough already in my personal life, I sprained my ankle at the weekend. I think I’ve gone full-circle and felt so stressed out and downtrodden that now I’m just laughing at the absurdity of the whole thing. What will life throw at me next? Who knows. Hopefully this module ends before I find out.
Adventures in CAD
Once I decided the route I was going to go down for this project, I was able to approach CAD with a more focused mindset.
Researchin’
Having written my project proposal for the final module, Design for Context, I began to collect visual research based around my chosen theme of space and space travel.
End of Module Review
This module I have learned:
- How to linoprint
- How to monoprint
- How to screenprint onto paper
- How to bind books
- The importance of prototypes
Conclusion: It’s been a productive few weeks!
Experimental Screenprinting
Over the last two weeks or so, I’ve been getting to grips with paper screen print.
Researchin’
I’ve had a really good week!
New Module; Slow Starts and Design Decisions
During the research weeks I’ve had the opportunity to try different slow-crafting methods and really enjoyed them, but admittedly this project has gotten off to a shaky start, namely due to my brain being so fogged that I’ve barely been able to hold a conversation, let alone come to any conclusive design decisions.
Finalising Designs and Experiments with Colour
I feel I’ve hit upon a fairly solid formula for creating designs this module, and am aiming for quality over quantity since each motif involves creating a lot of primary source imagery and textures to scan in with, and the composition needs to be carefully considered.
Further Adventures in Toiles
This week I have been working on toiles.
