Fabric Designs Inspired by Geometric Imagery in Art

9/8/2015

0 Comments

 
While flowers may be the most popular inspiration for fabric patterns, geometric art is another popular source of creative designs. I do love gardening and I do love art. So, researching geometric imagery in art across decades was a fun endeavor. The research was part of my Textile Design class and the purpose of it was to create fabric patterns using tie-dye. Take a look at what I came up with!

First, I assembled a moodboard - a fashion designer's reference for inspiration, color, texture, scale. The imagery in the moodboard suggests the color story for my tie-dye work: yellow, black, and blue.

Second, I cut out pieces of fabric to dye and got to work! Messy but fun work. To imitate geometric patterns seen in my moodboard, I used a variety of tools - snaps, pins, rubber bands,and paper and binder clips. I folded the fabrics over and over and submerged them in the dye. 

Et voila! Many a fun fabric pattern came to be. Which one is your favorite?
