My pet pineapple...

Finally artistic inspiration and breakthrough comes in the shape of a pineapple.  I have lived, breathed, and then ate pineapple in the lead up to the exam.  I loved photographing and enlarging different sections of the fruit to allow the true beauty of the pineapple to be revealed. Pineapples are everywhere  in our community, and represent a symbol of ‘Welcome’. I have explored mixed media, using my photographs as the base to develop textile work,  beadwork, weaving, shibbori, devore, felt work, machine and hand embroidery, knitting, crochet, and my latest love, machine embellishing which creates such a rich, jewel effect in vibrant colours.  This is definitely something I want to explore further in my textile work. 




I am yet to get my results but hope I have done well due to all the work I did on this piece through out my easter holidays.


Look out for my cupcake logo for Lucy Annis Wood .   in these pics, capital A for the Cake, W for the fondant icing and L for the cake case look out Vivienne Westwood and Coco Chanel.

Funny thing is that as each piece came together, it ended up being named   - Look out for “Kitchen Sink Pineapple and  “Crushed Pineapple” “Inside Outside”
