Here is my Degree show board displaying all of my hand stitched leatherwork trimmings. This was the final outcome from my 4th year where i took inspiration from a selection of historical musical instruments such as lutes, harpsichords and accordians. It was from these that i produced a wide range of collages concentrated on rich colour and geometric shapes. A great deal of my collages were very small scale and detailed so it made sense to use them to effectively create a range of continuous lengths of trims. The leather i used was this beautiful kid glove leather in all of these amazing strong colours! I also used a great deal of branding to achieve a different surface to the leather.
