Developed samples for fimp

Here are some developed samples that i have took forward to use on my final garment:


This is a neckpiece. This neckpiece is blue which i have chose from my colour pallette. On this neckpiece i have used gold gutta and drew aztec patterns on which relates to the Aztec tribe that i took forward. I chose to create a neckpiece because most Massai people have neckpieces on around their necks which makes
it look visually impactive.

               

These are enlarged Aztec patterns that i have made using foam board. I got white cotton, used a variety of colours i need and dyed it. The colours combined very well. After the white cotton dried up i stuck it down on the foam board and cut it out to whatever pattern i created with the foam board earlier on. To make it look attractive i used gold gutta and drew detailed Aztec patterns.

               

These are the same design ideas but i have positioned them in a different area from the first and second one. If i was to choose were to place my Aztec foam boards onto my garment i would choose the third and fourth sample. On the fourth sample i have created another Aztec design. On this i have dyed the cotton black and used gold gutta on the triangle.

 This is another sample of the Aztec patterns I have made. The black fabric behind the foam boards is the design I would use on certain parts of my jumpsuit.


 These are my recreations that I created. I took them ideas forward and decided to used them on my   final jumpsuit.

Tutor Feedback

1) You need to move away from making more and more Textile samples, you should be at the point now of only making textile samples that you will use for your final garment.
2) Development of toiles needs to be started, work from your illustration and make parts of garments that you may use in your final garment.
3) All this process needs to be added to your blog.

Well done Helena excellent illustrations, start sampling sections of the garments now and thinking about bringing your textiles in.  Show your ideas on your weekly diary, put research next to your illustrations show where you got your ideas from.
