Hot Water Bottle:
After reflecting on this project throughout my sketchbook, I realised that my samples need to connect to my research more - particularly with the colours collated from the fairground. I would like to refine my colour scheme into more appropriate colours and the previous ''sketchbook survey'' has helped with this.
The colour scheme will refine as I'm creating samples, as I will just use the materials and colours that complement each other, working harmoniously
For the hot water bottle research I started with the fastenings. These included;
- Button Fastenings
 |
| Drawstring Fastening |
 |
| Fold Over/Flap |
 |
| Open top with Button to secure. |
Artist Research to help with development of work into a final product:
- Christine Mauersberger
- Jane La Fazio
I found that both of the above artists used colour selectively to their advantage, this has allowed me to think about refining my colours and combining them with the techniques and my ideas to produce a successful Final product.
After further researching hot water bottles, I would like to create a child's hot water bottle because my initial research in the first few weeks of the project was found to be reflective of a child, with the somewhat happy colours contrasting to the dark, miserable colours of Belle View and I found that a child's dress would represent this in an appropriate way.
Children's Dresses Research
I researched Jennifer Collier's paper dresses as inspiration, as I will be using the dress as a display of techniques more so than for functional uses. The shapes and styles of the dresses are also simple and the large surface area of fabric will allow me to compose the techniques better.
The hot water bottle would appear in this as small hand warmers, for the child to store in pocket/s of a dress.
To further this I designed the dresses and the hot water bottle displaying and explaining which techniques I would like to use and where I would put them.
