Laura Dougherty - Textile Designer
In the next few weeks i will be posting about my very creative and talented house mates....
The first to grace this space is Laura Dougherty
Laura is currently studying Textile Design at RMIT, she majors in weaving and is extremely good at what she does...here is her latest project
Roaming Free
"Interiors autumn/winter 2012 brings to life Roaming Free, a collection that celebrates easy elegance in your home. Inspired by floral motifs found on antique china. The woven range looks deep into floral structures to find geometric motifs of diamonds, squares and organic natural lines. An indigo and white colour palette recreates the freshness of blue and white china, accents of red compliment deep inky indigo tones and shades of grey add winter warmth."

Fitzroy Skate Shoot
The final photo shoot for my skate collection came up amazing!
Have a look and enjoy my last master piece for uni......
Raw
Urban Nature is where the natural nomadic
environment clashes with the outside world.
Bold black and white illustrations
contrast against a palette of highlight colours, creating an
artistic range of
skate wear for women. Sketches of wild animals, along with ink painted
artwork
have been inspired by the bold illustrative style of street art.
The experimentation of hand work and
digital design have developed into patterns reflecting
wild nature and
entangled tree branches capturing the artistic elements of the environment.
Designs have been digitally printed onto lycra and silk to create an artistic
range of
skate wear, combined with a customized designed skateboard.

CREATIVE SPACE
Everyone has their own creative space...mine is my desk!
Its filled with things that I've found and collected that inspire me.
My pile of design books sit close by for a boost of inspiration when I'm feeling flat,
my pin board is completely covered by all things amazing! local designers cards, free post cards, photos,
fabric samples and beautiful colourful things. I love writing letters to my friends living in London, i even have my own wax seal.
This is my hub into my creative mind where i day dream ... and try to be productive.

DRAW-PAINT-CREATE
Getting back to my drawing which is something i have missed while majoring in knitting.
So my final project focuses on hand drawn animals that are digitally printed onto tights for an artistic street wear range. Playing around with mixed media, china graph pencil and inks helped me get back to my artistic side of creating. Here is a preview of my drawing that will be in my final range that will be exhibited at my graduation exhibition "Twenty Seven" in Fitzroy, Melbourne
