Creating samples from artists research and primary photograph inspiration.

One of my  more personal experiments - image transfer using sellotape, with detail added using stitch and scraps of material.

One of my favourite samples based on the work of Maggie Ayres; one of my most preferred techniques - using an embellisher.

Using my research into designers who had unusual approaches to material manipulation, I produced a range of samples varying in complexity and material, however each was designed with my theme in mind whilst trying to be original and unusual with my approach. I thoroughly enjoyed thinking outside of the box when designing my samples as it has matured my way of thinking about the endless possibilities of designing with a wide range of materials. When looking for material to up-cycle and reuse I decided the blue tones from metal and old decaying wood would be an appropriate colour scheme.
