'Cornflower & Sweet Pea' Kimono ...

Thoroughly enjoying this exercise ...

I've used the interesting 'Cornflower / Sweet Pea' colours & the 'computer-design' sunflowers to create first concept for a kimono-based garment.

Cornflower & Sweet Pea Kimono

I've chosen this style of garment because of the simplicity of its shape - it then relies on the attractiveness of pattern & colour for visual impact. According to Wikipedia, the sunflower (amongst other things):

• is one of the city flowers of Kitakyūshū, Japan
• has heads sold as snacks in China
• one species, Velvet Queen, has lovely shades of reds & blacks

Projects ...

1979 - Honesty jewellery

For reasons that will become obvious over a period of time here, projects long overdue are now starting to gather momentum. With over 80 titles of work ready to begin, at this moment in time I'm going to concentrate purely on a variety of computer-aided ideas. Each 'project' will be labelled individually as it takes shape & is 'tabbed' above as " it progresses.


(My note: Because of my personal working method adapted over many years, I have found that having several projects 'on-the-go' at any one time suits me best. Hence ideas & projects here may initially appear to be disjointed - my apologies !)
