Cushion For Contemporary Route B


This is a cushion that I have just made for my Contemporary Route B module at Uni....
It was based on fastening and buttons from the military, looking at them in detail....
I then made the design contemporary by adding colours from the Faux Real colour palette on WGSN....

Shanty Festival....Liverpool....7th May 2011....



Had a wander around Liverpool Docks yesterday......
There was a Shanty festival and just had to take a photo of the two women dressed as Lobster's!
