Night flies and abstraction

I've been a bit absent from my little blog here lately, I know! (that is because yepee I'm using my price I won in Italy, my fashion scholarship, remember I had an old post about it, and yep I needed to get comfy with  things here) But now I'm coming back with new posts. 

Here are some textile works I've done in my first year of fashion MA in Timisoara. It was a free choice of themes. Therefore, the first work represents prints of night flies in an abstract composition, with the main colours grey, yellow and white, painted with special textile paints. The second one is a fabrics collage representing a dynamic abstract composition inspired by poppyflowers, with the main colours magenta, grey and purple. Both works have the sizes 2m x 70cm approximately. Hope you enjoy!

Some details:

Both works were present in exhibitions in Timisoara (mansarda), Lugoj and Deva.

Baroque - part II

Hey there, here I come with the promised part II of my Baroque post, it comes a bit late but...here it is, hope you'll like it. 

As said in the first post the next two works are part of my highschool graduation project (poster and sketches Baroque - part I), which happened in like 2006...loooong ago. I'm talking about a textile work and a costume inspired by the Baroque era. There you go , hope you enjoy!

 This is the textile work, with the size of 70cm x 100cm. It's a combination of embroidery and material applications and as you can see it represents an abstract composition, my vision of Baroque with focus on the colour red, one of the popular colours of the Baroque era.

Next, you can see my interpretation of the Baroque costume, a two piece costume - a corset and short pants with a big bow at the back and a hanging tail. The materials I used were yellow velvet combined with a goldy ribbon type material and white tulle...and yes I tailored and sew it myself, it was a hard job, but it was the first corset and short pants I ever made myself, and I'm proud of them! :P...even if they're not perfect, good for the theatre though:P, maybe. Ohhh, and also I forgot to tell, the costume comes with shoes too, which are painted in the Baroque style. (Sorry, this are the only pictures I could take of the costume back then in 2006....vintage:P)

Into the purple...

The following post is another "purple" work of mine made in my highschool years, a textile work, embroidered with material applications. It doesn't really have a name, but its similar to my "Winter" work, I posted earlier. I kinda used the same colours and materials, but with a few differences. I really like those colours. Anyway hope you will like this one too if you liked the one before, enjoy!

Winter memories

 Im back with a new post. I know winter is already gone, I'm happy for that, no offence for those who love it, but I prefer the warmth....I 'm glad spring is here. Anyway, my next work I am going to show you  is called "Winter" :P...its winter in a pink and purple way, that was the idea of it  when I made it in highschool. 

Its a composition of stilized houses and tree branches in winter. The technique I used is embroidery and small material applications. Hope you enjoy, its one of my favourite works I made! :D

Butterflies...

Hey, hey, as I started posting some of my textile works from highschool, here is another one, but this time with a total different theme and work style. This work is called "Butterfly", obviously, and its made out of different kind of materials, cut in  butterfly shapes or just parts of a butterfly. All the little details you can see in the work are the different kind of materials sticked together, with the help of a special glue, and the red parts of the butterflies are also embroidered with white trade to show even more details of those beautiful creatures. The butterflies are connected to each other through some blue trees applied also with  glue and blue lines sewn on the white work base. Hope you enjoy!

Buttons in the desert

Hi, I've been thinking to post some of my textile works, mostly the ones I made in highschool. So, the one you will see now was born in  2003 I think and had the theme of the desert and the sun, something like that.The sun is represented by the different coloured buttons, which appear at the bottom of the work aswell, for harmonizing the work, they could also represent shadows of the sand hills. I didn't really know how this work would be like when I started it, because even my teacher was unsure about my idea, but when finalizing it, something interesting came out, she appreciated it. The buttons and the stuffed material (that represents the sand hills) made a pretty good work. Hope you find it interesting too!!
