I stumbled across this company whilst hiding in a shop in the Light to keep warm the other day....

It's a collaboration of two designers Adam Rowe and Tiina Hakala, who produce a range of Jewellery & interiors.

Here's the website if you fancy taking a look... http://www.titimadam.com/

My two favourite photographs taken by Iain.

Final Designs- Laser Cuts





After laser cutting my final designs I have held them up against a lamp to show the detailed cuts more clearly.

Final Designs- Collection 2





My second collection was still made up on floral motifs but also included the butterfly motifs I had used in previous development pieces.

Final Designs- Collection 1




These are my four final designs for my first collection. In this collection I have used florals, two designs are in repeat and two asymmetric.

PAPERSELF


Suzi Mclaughlin






I am still trying to work out what my end product will be for my laser cut designs, I found a new designer called Suzi McLaughlin, she has used laser cutting along with origami to create installations.



These pieces made from papers, silks and leathers have been installed into shops such as Harvey Nichols and other high end boutiques. The end results are beautiful. Take a peak at her work here: http://suzimclaughlin.blogspot.com/



Her work has helped me to envision my work in a three dimensional sculptural form and now I have started to get excited about ideas again after the Designers block of the last week or two!
