New Throw
Just bought this wonderful new throw by Docofil House for £20, very pleased with it. 100% cotton, and has a really lovely feel to it. Probably shouldn't have bought it, but couldn't resist buying something for my room in the new house.

Visiting Hill & Co Rugs.
I have recently traveled to London with some other students from my course to show our work to Hill & Co. Rugs. i have been lucky enough to have three of my designs picked to be produced into rugs. i do not yet know if all will be produced as one is quite an experimental design, but i am very hopeful! i can't believe some of my work will be produced professionally, and may even be sold by John Lewis, if they're buyers like it.
I will be given an example of my rugs at the end, which could not be till next year, which gives me something great to look forward to.

Bill Hill/ John Lewis project continued...
Bill Hill/ John Lewis Brief
i started looking at cone shapes and experimenting with gradients.
I am quite pleased with these patterns. i especially like them in black and white. However my color palette consists of more pastel colours, inspired by what happen when i simplified a photo of pick up sticks in photoshop.
The patterns below are in this alternate colourway.

Bill Hill/ John Lewis Rugs and soft furnishings project
This project was a live brief for Hill&Co who are suppliers of rugs and soft furnishings to John Lewis among others.
The aim was to create a selection of rug designs with complementing textile designs.
decided to base my project on perspective, and optical illusion. i wanted to create textiles that gave the appearance of being 3D. i wanted to create a rug design that looked like it was going into the floor. This proved to be much trickier than i had anticipated.
I do not feel that this project is as strong as the last two, either in quantity or quality. i have also had a very busy term which did not help.
