Images documenting the construction of my textile necklaces - now named 'bloom' collars due to the organic, spring feel to them - and stitched headbands. Although i developed the technique of the bloom collars throughout my sketchbook, the actual designs were difficult to document as each shape turns out different from the next and the whole process was developed as i was pinning on the stand. Some shapes also come out smaller when burnt so the process was always evolving. This is a good selling point as it ensures each item is different from the next instead of being mass produced replicas. Previously when suggesting the necklaces could be worn in the hair i used a very large one which went all the way round the head which is quite a statement and may deter people who are less confident experimenting with fashion so instead i have made a smaller necklace/headband to be worn at the side - perfect for weddings or just brightening up an outfit.
