Lindsay Taylor inspired work / / Problems

I decided to start an embroidery of a plant that was near me at the time. It was bright pinks and also green around it. I decided I would make it into a necklace shape. I got half way into making this, after about an hour and realised the pinks were too bright for what I was creating therefore I am going to have another go at creating work inspired by her. I also did not have soluble fabric today, which is the material she uses therefore I could not make it as similar to her work as possible and also couldn't show how I was inspired by her as much. I have now got some soluble fabric and will be producing a piece inspired by her work which I could possibly develop into a jewellery or accessory piece later on in my project.

Adding more artists

I spent a couple of hours researching more artists and adding them into my sketchbook. I looked at an artist inspired by butterflies and who uses a lot of embroidery, which I know is a strong point of mine and I could use this as an advantage. I also looked at an artist inspired by the seaside who's work is very stylised.

Tutorial

I had another tutorial today where I showed Mr Davies my project proposal form which has been updated however he still thinks there should be some improvement made. I showed him my sketchbook and what I had started to do since last time however there has not been much added therefore not much feedback could be given other than to do more analysis and more research in general. I also decided in this tutorial to look at different types of artists who are also inspired by nature therefore I think I may move onto researching pattern in the natural world and artists who use this.

Analysis

I have looked at the three artists' work more closely and analysed their work. I started by making notes of what techniques and materials they used and also researched into their backstory a bit more to find out why they create jewellery and accessory pieces. I intend to look at other types of artists however these are the types I am most interested in at the moment. My analysis is very loose at the moment so I'm going to go more in depth and then put this into my sketchbook and possibly come up with some design ideas for if I was going to take this further.

Tutorial

I had a tutorial with Mr Davies today where we went through my extended project proposal form and decided how to improve it. I also showed him that I had identified textile artists I liked and had put them in my sketchbook. I have been asked to do some analysis of the artists' work and some preliminary analysis.
