this is my page on research into the regency era.

research into artists

i have researched into two different artists for my project; eugene delacroix and georgia o'keefe. i will look at eugene delacroix for inspiration on my era and georgia o'keefe for the use of colour.

weaving samples.

these are images from my samples of weaving.i used wool for the lume on all and then used either strips of fabric or wool for the weaving. i really injoyed this technique and think i may use it for my corset or and accessory to go with it.

for this project, we were asked to research into an era to maybe use as inspiration for a corset. after becoming quite inetrested in english literature and jane austen i decided to research into the regency era and 19th century. i hope that, not only literature but architecture, lifestyle, important fugures and more from this era will influence me in my design for my corset.
