The supplies are arriving.



The final pattern and finer details of the jacket design are being mulled over and perfected by no-one less than Sophie (lifesaver + newly appointed project buddy!) TAKE A LOOK: http://lovelaceland.com/.


And so we ordered the goods in; threads, fabrics, buttons... oh and even some Swarovski crystals.  It's going to look amazing.

More news and photos coming soon.

I've been a busy bee.




It's been a long time since my last post but have been a busy bee making and creating.  I thought I would share with you all the process of screen printing.  For the jacket there are labels and patterns to create for the fabrics and a lovely way to achieve this for the prototype (plus enjoy the final few weeks of my degree!) has been screen printing, or foiling.  So instead of pulling ink through the silk screen you pull a special glue through....

....then, well, click on the page at the top saying 'printing' and you'll find more photos there.
