Patch Work and Patterns

These are patch works quilts from various artists. I like these simply because of the different shapes and patterns that have been created by pieces of material.

This one reminded me of a mood board i created whilst selecting materials for the bangles i made. I am going to make images with different shapes like this patchwork, the natural forms of flowers have simply been made out of shapes. Therefore i think it will be interesting to explore what images i can create out of shapes of different colours and textures of material.


I want to carry on making different items out of weaving and braiding the different materials. Here is a clear example of a bangle that has been weaved out of thin metal. Which i think is very effective, because although overall pattern looks complicated and knotted the process is just repeated weaving of the materials. I want to explore using simple weaving techniques to create interesting designs, i shall experiment by using different colours and thickness of materials to obtain an quirky item.
