Sustainable textile with my colour project

While I made my textile collection for this project. I just though only how I can explore my inspired to real work. After I studied sustainable textile. I was interested about these theories of the ted's ten research. I wish to create a collection that can related to sustainable textile as much as. I need to created my fabric used techniques that made less pollution to environment as soon as possible.This is developing ideas within the mantle of textile environment design. Specifically of interest to me with my project are No.1 (Design to minimize waste), No.2 (Design for Cyclability), No.4 (design to Reduce Energy and Water use), No. 5 (Design that Explores Clean/Better Technologies), and No.6 (Design That Takes models from Natural/ History). Each of these philosophies interacts with my concept naturally and better technologies.

I managed to created my collar inspired by my recent trip to the sea at Phuket island, and It was all PVC and polyester material for use less energy to cleaned the fabric. The idea to created this collar from sustainable strategy that I am used worked on. And I made a shape the collar instead of cutting out the pattern from scarp of paper for prototype and in the final product I choose to made from scrap fabrics from cutting out the pattern from large piece one of my sample which created too much wastage. Moreover, I have the flat pattern so can translate that relatively easily into a shape organic fabric pattern from scrap fabric and I can use PVC and natural fabric which I dyed with natural dyes.

Sustainable design and metrial

I had finish this project around one month and the half ago. First I felt excited when I heard this project. This project from colors project "good vibrations" My project  by natural- sea and ocean. I need to represent the surface of the sea on to fabric. My specialize is print plus so i wanna created some thing like manipulate with fabric, embroil, and print.

During this project, I though about my research area which area I want to focus on. I choose a lot of focusing area such as over the sea or under the sea. After I had done a lot of experimented, I decided scope at only one point which is over the sea. I really like the sea, when I traveled to the sea, I like to looked over the sea saw what happen in under the sea such as a layers the I saw pass from over the sea surface to under the sea. That made me imaginary in many shape such as grid. I wished created something similar the foam of the sea. I used different materials for example different kind of fabric, hard pvc, and soft pvc. From those material I did more experiment to find which material can represent my idea? My colors palette based on gradual blue and pastel. I did experience with many techniques such as hand dying, heat pressing, and print screen.

Moreover, from last sustainable lecture's group discussion, my group member had useful advised for me. They said I should to find some natural material and technology that related to harmful with environment. So I tried to found a materials. I tried to dyed pvc with natural dyes. In my opinion, this was a good idea, the methods and resources that I experimented, it was not only harmful for the environment but also explore new technology for decrease a waste material as well.

Colour project: Good Vibration

'We are able to hear a single tone (that is, without special devices) but we almost never see colour unconnected and unrelated to other colours. Colours present themselves in continuous flux, constantly related to changing neighbors and changing conditions'

The interaction of Colour - Joseph Albers

In this project as a textile designer , I should to know the important of colours in design textiles. How colours are important in our life... Colours are the first sign when I are looking at an object. Colours  around us can communicate to our mood and design. It is influence your mood. Mood can influence design and productive. Productive and design can made emotional respond to it. 

For example, red represent passion, love, and angry. Green represent nature, serenity, birth, and eco.

As a textile designer colours are important in design. We can follow colour trend forecast for company. Or you can create own color palette to show vision. Colours can be connect in every tone and shade. They can related to each other that depend on design.
