An A1 research page which combines photocopies from books, my own drawings using pencil, markers and watercolour, and the work of a selection of designers which I felt was relevant to the project.

A calico drape created from my initial research, with a focus on mossy textures and details.

A second calico drape, inspired by oysters.

A calico drape inspired by the cup shapes of mushrooms. This drape didn't use any pins, only knots.

A collection of A4 collages, which used the shapes and textures from my research images and drapes to create interesting design inspiration. The fabric sampling at the end represents potential colour schemes and textures for the collection.

A series of rough design developments created using the previous collages (A4/5/6, pencil).

The first of three developed final designs from this project. This design extends the silhouette of one of my mushroom inspired drapes (A3, pencil).

A second final design, developed using the oyster research (A3, pencil).
