great fashion drawings





We have all been so frantically busy at home for the last couple of weeks that I have nt even had time to post anything....however Fran has been doing some great fashion drawing in sketchbooks which I thought were definitely worthy of a post! I love the way she has incorporated photocopies ias part of the final artwork..

fashion designs



Great fashion desins and drawings by Francesca for her final major project, based on the fibionacci number sequence found in nature. She has chosen some lovely grey and purply colours, a bit like dead flowers and leaves....mmmm very earthy! Stunning fabric from the cloth shop in Berwick street if any of you are in London, go there for an extra special treat of the most wonderful selection of textiles....

fashion drawing





To be fair I ought to dedicate this whole blog to my wonderful Francesca who manages so effortlessly to produce wonder with the sewing machine and a couple of spools of thread. while I struggle on in a vain attempt to produce anything that I might not be embarrassed to show a close friend!!
Here are some pics from 2 projects hat she has recently completed on her fashion and textiles foundation course.....

Fran has been on the old Bernina again.... inspired by giacometti and peoples personalities shining through their skin, she has produced this great sewing/sculpture....it would look great as a really long stretch of all the people she knows?

jerry

Francesca found one of the little dollies that I made on the Julie Arkell workshop and has used it as the starring role in her very first animation. It took Francesca just 4 days to make this little movie with Finlay providing the voice and the guitar soundrack!
Why are one's children so much more talented than their parents!
