Exhibition Set up! 

Whilst Carrying out more research i have also been getting on with more of my knitted pieces. I experimented with making a knitted tube structre to go aound the head, and embelished it with flowers to see how it would look…

This was the development of adding the flowers however i felt compared to the full version (below) less was more effective, and showed my knitting a lot better.

I also experimented with creating a big circular headpiece. I started by making a cardboard template to work with. I then embellished it with synthetic flowers and also included some tissue flowers i made quickly, in the top corner again feeling less was more…

I didnt think the tissue flowers were that effective, so need to think about using abother material like copper possibly. I also didnt like the way the back looked as the flower stems just stuck out the back.

So after some quick design ideas i have decided to try making these three pieces…

1. A neck piece which consists of 5 knitted tubes. 

2. An Aluminium headpiece which has a tribal print on it and a small knitted tube weaved into it.

3. A large knitted head piece.

Some of my ideas so far …
