following the last post...

The illustrator spent three weeks of her summer in Bournemouth
where summer found its heat and where sunbeams found their playground
on the perpetual waves caressing the bleached white sand
The coastal town formed a pictorial textile image
there, the illustrator caught a glimpse for her fashion muse
 
She has discovered the beauty of fashion and its movements of decoration
She is fascinated
by how some simple garments could be moulded into thousands of dressing ideas
by the explicit work of embroidery enlightens a soulless piece of fabric
by the movements of textiles
slight and slender
as the summer breeze
breathing through the salty feel of the sea.
 
Since a picture is worth a thousand words,
she hence presents you this album of her mini journey
A summer weaved by 'textile' memories...

 
 
 
 
Collected real-life sketches from Bournemouth,
Bath Fashion museum and V&A Costume gallery

 
 
 Hope you don't mind her first machine embroidery
 
 

Final piece of model
 
She is thankful for the sun and her friends in Bournemouth,
who have made her summer worth recollecting.
