This is a piece of textile design by Angie Lewin. It has been digital printed and design under the concept of
nature in a season. This piece of art work belongs to a series of Winter Stem collection. The collection has 4
different color schemes but same pattern. The composition and layering technique is effectively created to
create a whole sense of uncontrollable blowing leaf and flower. Relating back to what I intended to do, this is
something relevant to what I have done and would like to present in this project.

Personal Textile Image
My personal textile is a sarong. Sarong is a garmentconsisting of a long piece of cloth worn wrapped around
body and tucked at the waist or under the armpits, traditionally worn in Southeast Asia. In countryside of
Thailand, the place where I was born, it is commonly worn in elderly or women usually wear it at home.
Sarong could be a symbolic item that represents the culture and lifestyle of its people of each part in Thailand.
The reason that I chose this textile is that I like how old people in Thailand can identify which part of the country
you came from by just looking at this textile. That is what so fascinating about it. It is the identity of my origin and
background.
Apart from being one of my identities, this piece of garment belongs to my mother. My grandmother weaved it
for my mother to wear to the local festival back in the countryside. My mother loves it as it was made by love
and determination and I love it too.
Sarong has many designs and pattern depends on the culture in each part of Thailand. The place where I got
this piece of textile is in Northeast of Thailand where the pattern commonly consisted of variety of color. It is a
woven fabric consists of dyed silk made by loom.
I love its colour theme, as my favourite colour is purple. With the composition of flowers pattern and variety of
colour it gives me the felling of joyful and happiness.

Personal Textile Relating to this Project
(The Diagram and text relating the personal textile to final works)
Concept and Theme
The concept and theme of my personal textile is relating to the nature. The pattern was designed to represent
the local flower of its origin. This is something that can also relate to the concept of my final works. As in my final
works the concept is to create a pattern or an illustration of the Dandelion (As I would considered as a flower),
as part of the Wild nature.
Composition
The composition of the pattern is also related to the design of my final work. The pattern is design to draw a
focus onto the main element part of the textile. It is positioned to be in a central of the whole piece of textile.
This is stand out the main character of this piece of textile. As in my final works, the main element of the pattern
is also drawn out by the supporting elements.

Component Layering
The pattern was created throughout the layering
techniques. AS shown in the diagram, the leaf pattern
was the first layer, following up with another flower
pattern and end with the main flower on the top layer.
Relating to my final project, the layering technique is
used to arrange the component on the design. This is
help to point out the main element of the design.
Color Shading
As seen in the diagram contains a color shading
techniques. Despite the fact that the color tones which
is totally opposite from what I have presented in myfinal works. The techniques of using the same color
tone, with the cool tone color in the design, helps to
unite every piece of the elements together. The
shading pattern is kept in the same layout throughout
the whole textile. This is something that I have adopted
into my final works. By keeping on the color used in the
design, it can keep the concept and create a
relationship to every single piece of element on the
design.

The Concept of Wild Nature (Adjusted)
Natural beauty, natural growth, uncontrollable, unruly and etc., these words can be described as Wild
Nature, the true beauty of nature in which human is not involved to create it. Landscapes, wild animals, wild
plants or even grassland are the part of wild nature that creates such a beautiful illustration to this world. In this
project the idea of wild nature is created together with the contribution through natural dye, block and stencil
printing techniques by the use of natural product along with natural color scheme of yellow and brown scale
along with the technology designing tool program. The imagery of sunlight and solid ground, dandelion and
the filed is presented throughout elements on the works. To create patterns, digital tools are used to edit shape
and color of the pattern. Layering and composition are considered to be the main techniques for the
representation of the concept. All the patterns represent natural concept to produce a textile that has an
insight of beautiful scene of dandelion filed, a beautiful landscape that is natural growth and commonly found
in many areas. Through blocks and stencil used and technology available, the ideas and concepts of Wild
Nature have been brought onto the fabric.
Reflection on the Project
(Paragraphs addressing the given questions)
For this project 2B I have enhanced my skill and knowledge of using the tools to create a piece of art work. I
found that working with digital tools was really fun and convenience as when I have done something wrong I
could just easily undo it which is totally different from when I was working in the previous project. Working with
digital manipulation gives me more chance to explore and try out what is best and worst for the project. Even
though it was fun and interesting but it does it annoying sometime when I could not find the tools in Photoshop
that I need. But after a few hours of getting myself to be familiar with the program, thing was more like funagain.
To incorporate the concept into the project, I mainly used the coloring techniques as a representation of the
theme that I have design. AS well as choosing the most relevant figures to be layout on the image. To
demonstrate my concept, all the color and elements were design to create a story and the feeling for the final
work.
I would consider my two final works as a symbolic and abstract of wild nature. Each element was designed to
be a symbol of its original object. As well as being an abstract piece of art work to create a sense of idea
throughout the figure and color used.
The image was fully done in Adobe Photoshop CS 6. Even though I have been introduced to this program quite
sometimes ago I have not been using it much and only know the basic tools of this program. I could say that I
rarely use it but enough to create these two final works.
Referring back to my Project 1B I picked up bit and pieces of my 3 in my project 1. The background of the final
work 2 was taken from the Blown away image. The dandelion figure in both final works was taken from the
Dandelionand the background pattern or final work 2 was taken from The section image.
My intention is to concentrate in one part of element from Project 1B. I purposely picked out bit and pieces of
element to put into this project. The theme, ideas and concept is still kept in the same path as my previous
project.

Final Works 1: The Sunset
Description: This digitsl generated work is an abstract form repetition of the wild nature with the sunset. The main
element of this image is the dandelion which is laid randomly to demonstrate the dandelion field,
uncontrollable direction and blowing in the orange sky of sunset. Here I chose to use hot color tone to convey
the feel of sunset, contrast with the cool tone of white to bring out an illustration of the dandelion. Dark color of
black was chosen to indicate the ideal of night time after the sunset. This image was deliverd from the work of
my stencil printing technique and the block printing. (Stencil print of the background figure of the dried tree
and the block printing of thr dandelion, white figure)
Program used: Adobe Photoshop CS 6
Techniques/ Tools used:
- Gradeint tool: Used with background to shade the color of orange, yellow and black- Curve adjustment: Used to exphasied the color and blend in the color together, used with white figure- Optical setting: Used to turn the visibility level of the dried tree down- Color balance: To set the color of the finished overall image. This is to brigten up the color and to keep
balance of the color.

Final Work 2: Surfing On The Ray
Description: For this digital generated image, the concept is still kept to the imagery of the dandelion blowing in
the air with the sun ray as a background. This could be considered as a close up version of the whole idea. The
background is designed to be in hot tone, orange and yellow to keep the concept to represent the sun. The
curvy line in the background is the abstract form of the sun ray. Dark color tone and multiple layers of the
dandelion is used to conveys the idea of closer detail of the dandelion. I chose to use gray/ dark color to point
out the the dandelion as a main element of this image. White color also used to help support the black color to
stand out. For this second final work the background pattern that I used was delivered from one the work in my
project1B. I wanted to use the original color in this work to keep the concept of color from the nature. The
insignt of this image is that the dandelion is blowing and surfing on the sun ray, uncontrollable movement of thewild nature.
Program used: Adobe Photoshop CS 6
Techniques/ Tools used:
- Gradient Tool: Used to shade the color of the sun ray and to create the curvy lines- Curve adjustment: To emphasied and blend in the color in each figures- Blur Filter: To blend in the background color, yellow and white- Dust and Scratches/Noise Filter: Created the distorted pattern to give the feeling of the imperfection- Hue/ Saturation adjustment: To adjust the overall color image

Supporting Image 1
Another image to demonstrate the same idea and the layering techniques for the final work 1. Here I used
pretty much the same techniques as presented for the first final work. I experimented on the change of color
balance and the curve adjusting tool. For this image I have left out the gradient tool as I would like to define a
different feel of this image.
Here I experiment with the black and white setting for the image. It does give a contrast feeling of the day and
night time. This image was laid out to be exactly the same pattern but different color scheme. I found this
experiment is quite interesting, as my own digital research, the work that the artist does was in the same pattern
but different color. Even though it is the same pattern but it gives totally different feeling and meaning to the
image.

Supporting Image 2
This is another experiment I took along the way in creating second final work. I tried the techniques of
overlapping and color mixed in this image. The result was quite interesting and it is still kept the o concept of
the flow of dandelion with the interaction of the sun ray. I feel like this give the feeling of the fun and
excitement mood to the image itself.
i
As the same approach of experimenting in different color of tone. This is the setting of the same image but in
gray scale and curve adjusted to exphasise the different in contrast of color. I gives a very interesting result. It
some how give the feeling of totally opposite of concept of this project. Metalic and artificial feeling was
created from this image.
