‘Exquisite Corpse’ Trimmings

The brief for this project was based on a parlour game called exquisite corpse. I was allocated an image (a toy sheep), an animal (the leopard tortoise) and two material/process words (foam and ruffle). From this starting point, I designed a number of trimmings concepts for interiors, based around the themes of tassels, borders and fringing.
