Here are some of my images from college.

I have been lucky enough to returned to education as a mature student to study fabric design. In the past have made my own clothes, knitted garments and altered clothes to make them up to date or look different. Always taken an interest in fashion, fabric and the construction of garments. Also attended a jewellery design and making course working in silver and gold and still wearing some of my pieces today but gave most of them away as presents ! Spent alot of time restoring old furniture for my home instead of buying new and had some unique stuff !!

Colour Task

Really enjoyed the colour task ..... making the colour wheel which I have done before in paint and fabric. Interesting mixing the paints and how many colours you can achieve with only the six paints.





What I did learn with this task was to be more generous when adding colours to make tones and shades and the white and black to form greys !

  
The next task was to mix colours to words eg: Fox's back which I mixed as a brownie tan colour. The other colours are pebble dash, blue bells, mushy peas, peacock blue, baggers back, elastoplast pink, germolene and corset. The colours I mixed are in the picture above and as you can see my peacock blue is not the proper colour it should be.


This is my colour chart I mixed to match my to images in my sketch book see below.

   




The colour I could not mix was emerald green...... but had a good try with the other colours and they seem to blend in.

Finding it hard at moment, my ideas are not forthcoming ..... all the changes around me as well 
trying to get my head round Uni life, travelling and boosting my own confidence.......
