I tried to mimic the colour and luminescence of the work of stained-glass artist Harry Clarke through woven fabric. I used acrylic yarns in a double cloth to enhance the intensity and interplay of colours.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/849844023500780719-7879255338411770008?l=deirdrecollins.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Deirdre Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00082692633492663912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849844023500780719.post-19783362979782912052008-10-07T16:37:00.000+01:002008-10-07T17:05:47.832+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Kiss-Chasing/DSCF2317.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Kiss-Chasing/DSCF2317.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Kiss-Chasing/DSCF2083.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Kiss-Chasing/DSCF2083.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Kiss-Chasing/DSCF2309.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Kiss-Chasing/DSCF2309.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />While working on the scarf project below, I developed a prototype crocheted wire neckpiece and bracelet incorporating LEDs.

The brief was to create a fashion accessory that used light technology. My scarf/hood is made up of fibre-optic cable, white mohair, hi-vis reflective yarns and LEDs woven on an 8-shaft table loom. It was featured in the 'Lightwear' fashion show in the Science Gallery on the 9th of February 2008.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/849844023500780719-4196556989611933720?l=deirdrecollins.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Deirdre Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00082692633492663912noreply@blogger.com1
