I am currently a third year student studying textile design at Winchester School of Art. I’m enthusiastic about all things art and design and I am highly motivated to be a part of this industry. I am constantly looking to improve my designs and learn how to put my ideas across in design. This blog shows my work and also the things I have found that have inspired me.Tumblr (3.0; @ellielucygray)http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6b4fe4344c4e36540fd507467e68b727/tumblr_mo4tcyr5xD1qf4ijoo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>My degree show space at Winchester School of Art.</p>http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52548686508http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52548686508Sun, 09 Jun 2013 11:22:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/781a8bde1c69f700c963db6ad1149b9d/tumblr_mo4ru7JGOj1qf4ijoo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1d480f43e515a48581798c9388e6e043/tumblr_mo4ru7JGOj1qf4ijoo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/03a984f082c251e0c577c73f35ec712f/tumblr_mo4ru7JGOj1qf4ijoo3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e6fb2581cf47ea7722330ac292126c50/tumblr_mo4ru7JGOj1qf4ijoo4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Screen printing and stitch design into white. The dye really bled into this fabric and so the imagery is alot softer then on other designs. The images with a blue background are close ups of one design showing gardening instruction placed between the vegetables and insects.</p>http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52546733391http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52546733391Sun, 09 Jun 2013 10:49:00 -0400screenprintgardening instructionsinsectstextilesdesignvegetables<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a1dafa8ab31aa4f68f3ca02b3128419e/tumblr_mo4rq4gKpC1qf4ijoo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8b33b9cc396f97ec309257fd711ca63a/tumblr_mo4rq4gKpC1qf4ijoo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Tea towel design in different colourways using an allotment scene and varying stripes</p>http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52546591538http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52546591538Sun, 09 Jun 2013 10:46:52 -0400tea towelsdesigntextileskitchensnailstripesvegetablesallotment sceneshed<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bb99c3bf89b04cbe91d86d6f6cd52332/tumblr_mo4psuRvm51qf4ijoo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d262f93468936453d3c6b99cf16f5c44/tumblr_mo4psuRvm51qf4ijoo3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1ee90268b7682805b08b7245ca265053/tumblr_mo4psuRvm51qf4ijoo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Tea towel design an a different vercion with the edging made into a stripe repeat</p>http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52544315253http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/52544315253Sun, 09 Jun 2013 10:05:18 -0400vegetablesstripestea towelskitchendesigntextiles<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cb0fc293410662498f4502016a4429f3/tumblr_mo4o78F7bl1qf4ijoo3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/04e5f7367214c5e342bf28ded5677c83/tumblr_mo4o78F7bl1qf4ijoo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/38c5107d1a56f29cb524b71919243c68/tumblr_mo4o78F7bl1qf4ijoo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Varying insects designs.

I chose this theme because growing up I ate home grown vegetables and fruit throughout the year and it is a lifestyle trend that seems to be blooming. The fresh colours, interesting textures and the historical context of these plants provides rich material for me to work with. The designs I create will be for interiors, predominantly for the kitchen.</p>http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/42930850804http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/42930850804Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:46:00 -0500Vegetablesfoodplantsnaturegardeningdesign<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/75c8962b15df901b23b58332c66317d2/tumblr_mg0b5uAeAI1qf4ijoo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a3b75a14b8a7dbce5a82740d3c8131fb/tumblr_mg0b5uAeAI1qf4ijoo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Concept and Colour boards</p> <p>(Photographs from National Trust Collections <a href="http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/">http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/</a>)</p>http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/39480125360http://ellielucygray.tumblr.com/post/39480125360Wed, 02 Jan 2013 11:29:00 -0500National TrustcolourInspirationConceptCollections<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e72fd9740b976aaeb3d6196d81c45ad0/tumblr_mg0asefs661qf4ijoo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f1c9f24652309bcf65dd7f4e03b144f8/tumblr_mg0asefs661qf4ijoo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Simpler designs, for tea towels or linings of objects.
