Working with the Fashion students on their pieces has taken me off on a tangent I hadn’t anticipated – using textiles in my jewellery. Bought a job lot of reclaimed kimono silks on ebay and have started incorporating those into designs. Both sets of Fashion pieces use the fabrics used in the clothes themselves, so they complement beautifully – it’s now really interesting to see how I can use the fabrics to contrast and conflict too. Everything’s taking on a Victorian/Oriental look, and feedback I’ve had so far after posting a few initial pictures on facebook is really positive.

Dig out mini sewing machine to investigate creating fold and textures in the fabric
