recycled scarf
the lovely 12mm bamboo needles that i ordered for my recycled scarf arrived this morning, and i have just finished it!
i am so happy with how it turned out, it’s about 6 feet long and so warm!
i really love this idea of re-using wool, i will definitely be trying it again.
a snippet
of my latest portfolio work.
the first is a womenswear collection designed for rodarte and is based on the light box that i made as one of my trend boards.
the whole idea was to try and show over-exposure through layering of fabrics, so i’ve only put up two out of six outfits as there are a lot of layers to them!
the second is a menswear collection and is based on west park psychiatric hospital (the trend board with the doors).
this was all about big chunky knits, the idea of concealment, and some back-to-front, slightly straightjacket-ish shirts.
audrey niffenegger
the time travellers wife has been a favourite book of mine for a few years now. i love everything about it, the way it’s written is really captivating.
however, i had no idea that audrey niffenegger is also an artist- until i got one of her books as a christmas present from J.
“the three incestuous sisters”
it sounds odd, and is odd. it is beautiful, a book told through images. her style is amazing, so hands on, and the images are all stories in themselves.
finally…
i get to post pictures of sackboy! i knitted him for J’s 21st, but in case he decided to wander across my blog, i haven’t been able to put photos up til now.
