A full day of uni work is what I have had today, and it has made me feel so much better about my position leading up to the last two weeks! I managed to achieve so much, even though my sewing machine is still broken, across the board and to make everything better it was a sunny day! 

I took the opportunity today to sit down and go through the samples I have already begun to create in relation to my netting and knotting, and plan out all the samples which I will do next. This contains a list of about 15 more samples, so I am going to be very busy over the next couple of days. I want to make sure that there is a progression, a development throughout the sample range, starting with the simple knotting, moving on to experimenting with materials, combining other textile techniques and adding lot of vibrant colours. These I hope to continue working on over the next couple of days to create a fuller sample book.

I did manage to create a good bunch of these samples today, beginning to bring in different materials and experiment further with the wire working and combinations of techniques. 

I also began creating my sketchbooks which begin to experiment with colour in both of the mini projects, starting off with two larger collages, with images which will influence my colour palette. I think these sketchbooks will contain a lot of photocopying, focusing on colour and pattern experimenting with drawing further, rather than sticking with the same motifs.

Work for tomorrow...

Continue with netted sampling!!
