Mutuki Collection

  Finally I have managed to upload my finished products from my lastest module, its been a while I know! Been a struggle to keep on top with updating my blog at the same time as working on my other modules so my time management has been a bit of a challenge but I am aiming to keep on top and update more regularly with progress.   
 
So here we are, back to my final collection...
   I have produced a collection of jewellery called 'Mutuki'. Mutuki is the name of a sea anemone found on the shores of Singapore and represents the key influence behind my designs. I have been inspired by the natural form and structure found in marine life and underwater habitats of the deep sea especially sea urchins, sea anemones, seaweed and coral.  
 

 

 
Through experimenting with a range of  fabrics and exploring with a mix of fabric manipulation techniques and layering with different sewing techniques I am pleased with the arrangement and structure of the pieces. I did feel however that something was missing as it was all fabric based and needed a new component to create more texture and balance.  I therefore decided to combine my new skill and passion for Adobe Illustrator, and introduced laser cuttings into my designs with different media such as ply wood.
I felt this worked well with my combination of materials and techniques, it balanced out giving structure and detail which is what I was looking for in my final products.
