Catwalk

Our Portsmouth Uni fashion show was on friday night! It went amazingly thanks to all of us organised students and great models that helped us out. Here are a few pics of my three garments going down the catwalk!

Photoshoot

Backstage at my photoshoot! Yesterday i had a shoot to show off two on my final garments that i made using my prints. The tighter dress is made using neoprene, a fabric i haven't worked with before but it helped make the fit really smooth as its thick and stretchy! The flowy maxi dress is made with crepe de chine, a really summery fabric to go with the summery prints! The model was really awesome and fitted the clothes really well. Final shots will follow shortly!

Arts Thread

I now have an arts thread portfolio! the address is http://www.artsthread.com/p/hannahclements
16 of my final designs are on there so i thought i'd post them on here too!

Boards

So its been over a month sine my last post! Wow my final major project is over now i can't believe it. I never got round to putting a lot of the designs that are in my final line up on here so thought id share my boards of the final outcomes!

These came from creating 3D shapes with my stretched sky. The bottom design is a bit too typical planet scene-ey to match any of my collection. However the first is much more interesting to me with the large in your face circles. Plus i love creating 3D looking designs.

Cloud fun

Alongside my new obsession with buildings and lights I've taken up another strand for my collection - clouds! i like the abstract stretched designs, the soft fuzzy edges contrast well with my clean cut buildings. Whereas the cloud cones have the contrast of soft and sharp all by themselves. As well as looking a bit odd...but in a good way.

Dots

The first of these was a screen print on to some beautiful sand wash silk in a lovely peach. I scanned it and took it into photoshop to produce the other two. The slight creases in the scanned fabric added more of a multicoloured texture to the last two prints.

More Screen Printing

These were all screen printed with an open screen. Again i was experimenting with marbling colours together. I printed on black georgette n experimented with different amounts of ink pulled through the screen (the first picture is of just my screen after a pull through). I like that you can see through the parts that the ink didn't spread to.

Colourful buildings

So I'm back to buildings again! I've been trying out difference colour ways and repeats of these sets of buildings. Not sure if I'm totally set on them but thought id post them up anyway!

So I thought my previous post would be my last today but this evening I've had lots of fun blowing bubbles  in paint! i took some pictures and just played with the colours and love these already so I had to share them!

Accidental Designing

This is one of my favourite designs at the moment, i've been messing around with my coloured lights and things on photoshop and layering stuff up and somehow this happened. I didn't even like it at first but its one of my favs now! Accidental designing is my new favourite thing.

I had some fun with one of my photos from M3 and this is it! i particularly like the sky.

Bradford Textiles

My Two entries for the Bradford textiles competition! One is a repeat from my last collection and the second is a design from my current work, fingers crossed!

So i've been making mini buildings out of mount board to make a little city! It's slightly tedious so i just started photographing some of the buildings by themselves and i really liked the inside of this one! Its hard to believe its only 40cm tall in the photos which i really love! The light just happened to come through the little window holes really well and now I'm playing around with it in photoshop for some dramatic creepy effects!

Screen Print

So these are my first screen prints of this project! for my first screen i made one design for the colour of the windows and another for the buildings in the front. I also played with marble effects using my main colours. They stand out well printed on black.
