Screen Printing Using Tape

This piece of work is screen printing but where I used tape to block out parts of the screen so that only part would be covered with the red paint giving it a layered effect. I then tried out various parts of the print on T-Shirt designs, I did this to show how that print would look printed onto clothing.

Paper Dress Project

This is project form the first year of my fashion course which is where we had to come up with a design based on the heritage from where you are from, which is sunderland. You then had to choose an iconic building or structure I decided to base my paper dress on the Angel of the North. I used the iron metal ripples thats in the structure of the Angel of the North to inspire my work. I did this by portraying the ripples as folds in the paper and what you can see on the paper from my sketchbook is the finished product.
