To quote my diary: "In the studio at 9.30am with Laura. Learnt some awesome techniques- really useful for my unit. Broke the machine 21064349 times from 10am- 4pm, however I really enjoyed myself"
Today we've looked at the technique of 'hooking up stitches' . After thinking about what was said in our tutorial yesterday afternoon, I decided that I wanted to focus on the idea of distortion of women's bodies, and the garment, corsets. So learning this technique today came as a real advantage- the look of the samples will look fantastic alongside my sketchbook work . I have included examples of the technical front and back of these pieces, as I find that they are both influential to my work at the moment- the front showing the hooking up, like corset hooks, and the back creating a distorted effect.
