Over the Easter holidays i have been experimenting further with my knitting, using a mix of wire and wool, which works well. I previously experimented with a circular knitting loom, from which i created a long knittted tube, during the holidays i have experimented with a long loom, creating a flat piece of work…

I then put some of my knitted pieces together which i think works quite well as a starting point for my tribal inspired accessories…

I tried creating some knitted flowers, and metal leaves inspired by Han Silvesters photographs, however neither of these work well or had much impact. I have decided to look at how i could possibly incorporate the accessories and knitted work into my actual garment, which will be inspired by 1920’s fashion and also how they will work together.

I have been inspired by the Han Silvester photography to create these knitted wire tubes, which i will place around the head in the way the tribal people do. I plan to try and recreate some of the flowers and other natural objects and weave them into the knitted tube.
