First Week

This week I have been gathering inspiration by looking at different artists and drawing from primary sources. I think I have done lots in my book over the course of the week. I have looked at loads of artists which have inspired me for looking at prints and pattern cutting techniques. I've experimented with making my book look as interesting as possible, as I don't want to leave a blank page as a background. My favourite primary drawing this week is my teapot and teacup which I did out of felt, I really like this idea and will develop it more. I have got to go over my pages and analyse all my drawings and pictures, as this is my weak point and I always leave it till I've done everything else. I didn't reach my goal of doing one primary drawing each day, and will try to catch up with this the following week. Last Saturday I went to Quaint Queer Weird Wedding fair in Chatham, I thought it would be interesting as it was alternative clothes like fairies, steampunk and burlesque, I was hoping their would be lots of costumes for inspiration and maybe Japanese inspired. However their wasn't much of anything, and only two stalls had dresses on, so I was quite disappointed and didn't get any inspiration for this project from it. On Sunday I went to Pets At Home and it was a very short visit, but I managed to take loads of photos of the bunny rabbits. They were so cute and I wanted to take one home with me to keep as a pet. For next week I am going to draw or do some type of textile based picture of the rabbit, which I think will come useful as either a print on my garment or the shape of my coat, which could have bunny ears.
