The aim of this brief was to make up a wide variety of fabric swatches based around stripes and present it on mount boards for presentational reasons. I decided to focus on books lined and/ or stacked on the shelf. By looking at the images provided, you can identify the stripes present through use of colour, age, embellishment, texture and so on. The stripes may be vertical, horizontal, diagonal etc, providing me with much possibilities to work with.
Noriko Ambe is sculpturor who specializes in paper making. Here, the paper is cut into to create a layering effect which furthermore, reminds me of the books' pages or even a stack of books. Either way, this encourages me to use a range of techniques and to experiment with different weights of fabric.
Her, I am looking at the side panelling of old Celtic books. The leather is quilted using various threads and utilizing different patterns. The sewing machine enables me to create such patterns due to the patterns provided.
This is my colour story for my project. I pulled the greens and creams as I thought it best suited the old antique books. Using spray paint and stencils, I printed onto the fabric. Combining the stripes and print together, I thought it would be most relevant to title the project 'Reading Between the Lines'.
These are the eight fabric swatches based on my source imagery. Technques ranges from fringing, layering, darts, folding, boning and so on.
This my moodboard and final swatch.
