Dear Ms Flint,
My name is ***** and I am an A2 textile student studying in the UK. I am currently doing a project on time and change, where I am representing how life is becoming so modernised and so I am mainly taking the influence of old style artwork.
I was particularly drawn to your work as the colour combinations in some peices, such as the browns, greys, blacks and oranges create an effect I am attempting to achieve myself.
Therefore I was wondering if you may be able to offer me some advice on how you create your particular patterns and textures, or the materials that work best. If you have the chance any advice would come in very useful.
Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerly,
********

Dear ******
than you for your enquiry. I have published two books which comprehensively answer the questions you have posed so forgive me if i don't retype the text here.
Eco Colour [Murdoch Books 2008] discusses dyes in depth, Second Skin [Murdoch Books 2011] investigates the provenance and prospects of cloth and clothing.
Cordially

ReplyDeleteI presume the writer is young. Sometimes access to the internet and all its resources prevent younger minds from seeing the forest for the trees. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteVery well written reply India... oh my.... and I have to agree with Christine's comment.

ReplyDeleteOh my heavens...Ronnie! That is a hoot.
India, I can sense you are tense. LOL. Chocolate is good right now, the darker the better. Perhaps a massage too.
Oh my! Love Ronnie's comment. However, now I need to stop and clean the jasmine tea off my computer that was spewed when I laughed.
ReplyDeleteI thought your answer was wonderful. And agree with all the others who suggested chocolate, dark preferably. Enjoy!
the perfect reply - love it !
