Chairs for Charity - Little toucan. With the deckchair being a long thin canvas and how the fabric drapes means careful consideration into where the design elements sit on the canvas.
Having made the decision that the traditional stripe is something I want in my designs I began playing around with it being a more organic stripe, less regimented, using disperse dyes and the heat press with large pieces of wallpaper.
