Power Of Making V&A

Cornflower, Centaurea cyanus , this ring made by the designer Nora, Fok has been created by weaving and knitting thin strands of nylon that have been dyed in bright pigments. Personally I like how striking the ring appears but it is actually very delicate due to the soft, translucent nylon material. Foks, inspiration for this ring developed from the cornflowers that were growing in her garden, you see the similarities in structure and form between the ring and the natural flower.

This dress completely captured my attention at the exhibition, how could something that appears so striking and beautiful be made out such harsh  material such as pins. Made by the designer Susie McMurry I think she has captured the idea of opposites, creating something beautiful out of ugly materials.
I would like to carry this idea into my project, make some slick accessories out of wasted materials or materials that you would not associate with being transformed into a beautiful item.
