Observing and capturing – research point 2 – Fabric designs
For this research point I have started a pintrest board of fabric images.

Of the suggested artists, designers, companies I was particularly drawn to the almost folkloric designs of Timorous Beasties. It is immediately obvious that their work is influenced by William morris designs so it was no surprise to find that they have a range dedicated to him. I have sent for a couple of samples.
NB after visiting the New designers exhibition in London it is clear just how currently popular Timerous Beasties are, their influence was evident everywhere. An excellent example of the wheel of fashion turning.
I plan to work more in a sketch book for this task to experiment with ease of communicating my thoughts. I feel that it needs illustrating but am worried about image coptright.
