Textures seen in London!

Here are a selection of fabrics from our visit to London displaying textures that I really liked but that weren't quite appropriate for the textural element of the Devil costume. I plan to show these to Emily who is making the Devil Costume and see how could she could create these textures herself in the fabrics we did buy through fabric manipulation and dyeing.

 The texture of the above fabric I loved for it's leathery feathered look - gives great bulk and texture and would catch the light subtly yet beautifully.

I loved the feathery organic nature of this fabric given by the frayed edge. We purchased a fabric of a similar texture so Emily could create a similar effect but in the correct colour scheme as this is quite garish.

This fabric is quite bold but the laser cut technique could be applied to a fabric for the Devils leaves/feathers but in the correct shape. It would mean that many could be cut at once then added in strips to the costume itself which may save her much time. 

Love the hairiness of this fabric and the subtle yet animal print like pattern that is enhanced by the texture. This hairiness could be created by fraying the fabric edges to give a wispy, stand up edge. I would also like to see whether a ripple affect like this could be recreated in the dye room.
