Some sewing


© Katherine Barnett 2011
I've been doing alot of sewing recently, i'm starting to make my animal characters and things out of fabric, currently making a bird and elephants but i need to get some buttons for their eyes and proper wadding so these are just some basic heart decorations that i made stuffed with cotton wool for now. They're hand sewn so they're not totally perfect because of knots and things(now i feel the need to invest in a sewing machine!). I really like the fabric because they look all pretty and vintagey, which seems to be on trend at the moment.

sketching

(Rendered in copic markers/coloured pencil/biro)These are pretty old now, i did them as part of a summer drawing project set in first year, i think they look nice as a collection though which is why they appear on my c.v/tasterpage, i wish we did more projects like this because i've learnt alot more about drawing form since then and never seem to have enough time just to concentrate and do some sustained drawing on one project, i'm trying to get as much drawing as possible into my process book at the moment because i love it,looking forward to sorting out my final concept for my individual project so i can do some design detailing too.

Bunny.Made in illustrator, i did make a nice countryside background for him but changed it to a heart for valentines day and decided i liked that background better. He might need darkening up at some point, I'm still experimenting with different animal characters at the moment.
