This mini fabric collection highlights my exploration of embroidery techniques and beadwork. During this time, I was deeply engaged in drawing abstract shapes and faces in my sketchbook. My previous print design work had predominantly focused on vibrant, color-heavy designs. To explore a different aesthetic, I created samples that embraced a monochromatic palette, emphasizing the power of negative space. Drawing inspiration from my sketches, I transformed these designs into digital fabric patterns. The finishing details included embellishing the negative spaces with intricate beadwork, adding depth and texture to the overall composition. This collection represents a harmonious blend of creativity and technique, capturing a unique exploration of form and simplicity while still keeping the print designs playful and lo-fi.
