Here you can see some of my samples for this week,I have spent my week cutting out circles of printed laminates to create sequins to use within my own work. I have been experimenting with different types of thread to sew them with and different weights and coloured backgrounds in order to find fitting methods. I find my sequins another way to create my patterns on fabric instead of just digital print the sequins create a more three dimensional look which I feel affective. I find the plastic and delicate fabrics an interesting combination and feel it gives the patterns a contemporary feel.
Sequins always appear to be iridescent or coloured not patterned so I thought this would be an unusual experiment seeing how these could work and so far I would say I was very pleased with them.
This has led me on to the research of fashion regarding to sequins and the use of them within garments.These images below show how my hand cut sequins could be used within a similar context.
