"For my final art project, I decided to focus on pastel colours. The pale pinks, baby blues and soft yellows are fun colours to use in designs. I wanted to design prints and patterns made of pastel colours so I collected took my inspiration from candy and cakes that were pastel coloured.

I created a collection of cushions for interiors using applique and stitch. To create my cupcake imagery I started with a primary resource drawing from my sketchbook then I developed them into paper templates shaped just like cupcakes. Once I had my design my I used Bondawed and cut the shapes out of fabrics that I picked. I used handstitching and embroidery to decorate and embellish my designs."
