Fabric Shopping

London, UK















I went to shepherds bush today to check out the fabric stores, and to buy my corset fabric. While looking around I became inspired by all the different fabrics for the personification project. 
A few fabrics that I kept being drawn to were, lace fabrics that I am thinking could work well for a mask that covers the face, stiffened - using fabric stiffener, (glue and starch).  For the ruff I'm thinking I want to make a traditional style ruff but with a modern fabric, e.g. using a PVC fabric but use modern techniques. 
As for colours and characters, I need to work on some ideas and decide on a final product, I think I may do this over the weekend, I have some fashion magazines that I need to flick through and grab some inspiration from. 
I collected some samples from the fabric stores that I was interested in using for the project, so I will attach them to my sketchbook.
