Inspiration

After researching some designers who use recycled materials i decided to pick a dark, gothic theme that i could incorperate into my work. I found images of heavily embellished garments and jewellery pieces that inspired me.

From these images i have created some basic jewellery designs.

Basic ink sketches.

From the basic sketches i decided to do a coloured ink and water sketch, i then developed this by creating different necklace samples out of scrap fabrics and yarns. I then stitched them onto a piece of clear PVC that i layered over the image.

I am very pleased with the outcome although i have decided i would rather work with a material such as metal rather than the fabrics and yarns that i created the samples with.
