About a year ago I did a couple of weeks work with Taylor and Taylor Advertising, creating leaflet and logo ideas for their company. They wanted to appeal to organics companies and one of my concepts was this leaflet in the shape of a net of a milk carton. I thought it would be fun to put together and more interesting then your average leaflet design!

My Book!!!
Skipping Ropes
Skipping Ropes
Digital Embroidery
For one of the spreads in my book i decided to Illustrate skipping and found an old skipping rhyme to use. Using the image of the skipping rope i drew out the words and then using some insane embroidery program, trace over my scanned images with stitching before sending them to the machine to be stitched. It was very time consuming, and had to be done in sections because my images were too big. Typical! I stitched them onto dissolvable fabric so that once dissolved they were actual solid ropes. I remembered to take a photo of them while they were dissolving in the bath!
documentation
Unfortunately i was so wrapped up in creating the work and making my book that i didn't take many images to show the process. However, i did put my iPhone to good use here (before i broke it) with two images from my session playing around with the letterpress. This little episode is where the titles for my duck duck goose imagery came to being!
