I’ve been going through some of my old artwork and came across a rather handsome dragon…and realised I never uploaded a finished version of my earlier WIP
I really thought hard about the colours and fell in love with the blue/green one, a little untypical for a dragon, but fit well…as a useless nugget of info when inverted its blue and pink!
Just in case I haven’t mentioned how much I love printed.com I thought I’d say it again I now have a full set of promotional stuff printed at an exceptionally high standard and looking beautiful.
Well, here it is the finished Re-mixed Dimensions collection. I’m so happy with these final pieces, there’re all very different but sit well together. Constructed textiles are amongst my favourites due to how tactile you can make them.
I have to give a hugh thank you to Catherine who modelled for me, she looks amazing.
Introducing my new swing tag [I’m so excited about these!] the wonderful people at printed.com managed to print swing tags for me and they match my new business cards – which had be changed when I changed my domain. If you have yet to discover printed.com I fully recommend them, all of their products are finished to such an impeccably high standard.
After initial researching of all the various things I found influential for this project. I started playing with adornment of my own, using different weighted and textured materials and making each piece individually, decorating them by hand or with a sewing machine and arranging each piece onto a stand to create a silhouette I like, then sewing all the various pieces together by hand, so that it may be worn on the body.
This particular piece was made during the final year of the FDA in Textiles and Fashion I studied, It was so much fun playing with ideas and pieces of fabric to create something to adorn the body, so I thought why not include it here.
This is a quick ink doodle to show shape on the body, I’m hoping over the next couple of days to make the final pieces and do a photo-shoot.
These are some constructed textile experiments I’ve played with, I’m quite happy with them and I’ve used a wide range of methods these are fun to make and if you haven’t tried felting before I highly recommend it.
Spent the day playing with fabric on the mannequin, made some interesting shapes its gonna be fun making the final versions!
Researching into armour for my re-mixed dimensions project, focusing on the different textures in metal work. Sexy and a little bit punk.
Striking body adornment, really eye catching and inspiring. Re-blogged from Alexandros Nikolis Pinterest board body adornment.
Yay! My new business cards are here!
Finally finished uploading my portfolio to my WordPress page, check it out www.kareynolds.net/portfolio
And finally here is the third in the series of 3 illustrations for my Apocalypsis project, I will be selling these on Etsy when my shop is up and running!
A slightly more definitive and detailed illustration for my Water of Life collection.
Tried a slightly different illustration style to go with my Water of Life collection. I wanted the illustration to seem a little more grown up.
Fun, quirky illustration to go with my New Horizons project.
