At the beginning of the week we were told we were doing an animation project, part of it would be linked to spiders webs. I helped to make two large webs at college and I created this cut out inspired by Rob Ryan and spiders and their webs.

Having been recently given a soldering iron as an early birthday present, I decided to create pieces of jewellery from the the metal ends of the umbrella frames. I created this ring and these earrings, I really like that they aren't perfectly neat and instead are a little disjointed.

 I love creating the pattern above as I felt the textured background really worked so I used in some of my other images.

The images are slightly blurry but this is the leaflet I created for my typography project. I was given the letter N and then the words No Entry. I made the whole leaflet from metal and I headted the covers to make the pattern on the cover. Each of the leaflet pages have been created by printing images I had previously drawn on to acetate and then painting in the white backgrounds. I hinged the leflet and I think that fact that it is bolted in adds to the locked in effect. One side of the leaflet featured the more monochrome images, whereas the other side showed the coloured images and was a little more interactive with flaps. I wanted to display the many meanings of no entry using soft versus hard imagery.

This is the final piece I created inspired by umbrellas. The whole dress is made from umbrella material and I plan to create jewellery using the umbrella frames. The skirt of the dress has been cut into circles to create interesting patterns and then I was able to use the circles that were cut out on the bodice.

These umbrella sections I created bu cutting paper. I am hugely inspired by Rob Ryan as you may have seen previously and these are the biggest cutouts I have created. They all feature lyrics from different songs linked to rain.

For the current umbrella project I created this mask using the handle of an umbrella so that it is adjustable, and also the materiaL from the umbrella.

For the same umbrella project I created the cover for the umbrella frame from strips of material woven between the bars. I really liked the look of this however I wanted to feel challenged so I turned the umbrella into the basket above !
