1Silent Foxes
12th March 2013
Areas: exhibitions for sale textiles
Next Thursday night (21st March) at 7-9pm, The ReFound building opens its doors to Belfast showcasing its latest collection: ’50 Shades of Grey’; a collection of restyled one-off pieces by local artists and makers.
For this collection I up-styled 3 teak dining room chairs, which I’ve named ‘silent foxes’. The silent fox design came from my desire to compliment the natural colour of the wood with a visual that would hint towards a forest.
The RRP of each chair is £120.00 (GBP). If you are interested in buying the chairs you can either visit the Refound building –7 Wellington Place, Belfast, BT1 8GB (opening hours: thurs-sat. 10-5pm) or contact Jill O’Neill directly via email - jill@refoundonline.com or phone- +44(0)78 1134 2444.
I’ve also uploaded a post: Silent Foxes the making of where you can view the process of how I up-styled the chairs.
Silent Foxes – the making of
12th March 2013
Areas: for sale making of textiles
As part of Refound’s most recent collection I up-styled 4 teak dining room chairs, which I named ‘silent foxes’.
The silent fox design came from my desire to compliment the natural colour of the wood with a visual that would hint towards a forest.
Below I’ve included pictures of the processes I went through to create the ‘silent fox’ chairs.
Say hello to a recycled tee shirt design
7th February 2011
Areas: textiles
I have been really busy with storyboarding jobs this week and whilst on a coffee break I came up with an idea on how to recycle old tee-shirts that had been relegated to the back of the drawer due to Italian food stains.
I thought I could simply use some dark tee shirt transfer paper (that I’d used on the Laundry project) to cover the stain playing to the strength of the transfer by make it look like a sticker.
The problem I’ve always found with this transfer paper it is very hard to ensure a crisp image as it normally breaks up due to too much heat or not enough, but in this instance the lack of a crisp image added to the design.
Little Doses tee shirt design
13th January 2011
I was recently commissioned to illustrate a new tee shirt design for the Scottish band Little Doses, based upon the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff guitar pedal.
If you want one of these you can buy either a white on red or a cyan on black tee shirt at the Little Doses store.
Making of: White wolf studio shoes
8th December 2010
Areas: making of paintings textiles
I've had quite a few people ask me how I went about painting my white wolf studio shoes. Hopefully to empower you to make your own I have created the following small step-by-step of how I created the shoes.
White wolf studio shoes
3rd December 2010
This personal project grew out of a desire to have a pair of light slip on shoes to wear in my studio.
Encouraged by the vibrant colour in a recent painting of mine autumn orange I thought the same painting would work well as a design on a pair of white canvas pumps with the addition of a white wolf sneaking around the trees.
