FABRICS - RED RIDING HOOD

I was just browsing through my pics on my laptop and found these snaps of

fabrics that I may consider for my negotiated project of Red Riding Hood.

I came across these whilst on a visit to Manchester.

I am not definate on these materials, it's just abit of inspiration!

I also managed to gather samples of velvet and lace for my sketch book!

PLATT HALL - CORSETS

On wednesday I went to Manchester with college to visit Platt Hall. They kindly agreed to put some corsets and girdels on display for us to draw/take photos/handle.

This was also a great opportunity for me to gather primary research for my technical lesson as we are beginning a project on corsets. We will be using the method of taping and taking inspiration from Miss Havisham to create a decayed effect.

I took hundreds of pictures of the corsets/girdles so here are just a few!
