Contextualising my work

I am now thinking about where my work will fit into the world of textiles, as I have always had an interest for the interior side of things, I decided that maybe interior accessories would be a good place to start...

I thought about various basic interior accessories such as lamp shades, throw blankets, cushions, cushion covers, rugs etc. 

If I had more of an idea of what I wanted to focus on earlier on in this project I would have tried to create more samples that could be seen as more of the items listed above, however for this projects samples I think cushion covers would be a suitable thing to put my designs/samples on. Although the quality of these edited images is far from perfect I am happy with the outcome of this idea:

  This is my favourite cushion sample as there is more going on than in the rest, I do however feel that it would be better it the shape of the knitting matched the shape of the cushion.

I quite like they was this sample looks on the cushion as it looks as though it has been enlarged.

Although this is one of favourite samples I don't like how I have lost some of the knit when cropping the image, I do think it shows the best part of the sample though.

I really like that there is quite a lot of detail in this sample when you see it close up, I'm happy with this piece but I could like for the edge of the knit image to be less sharp.
