Circles and Spheres

I've finally handed in my first technical submission, 36 pieces of print, stitch and knit based on my three words Urban, Fragile and Trapped.    The collection came together with a lot of re-arrangement of the order of the samples, still a bit lacking on the colour front, with not enough continuity; and possibly too many themes are covered (we'll see if that comes up in the feedback).  I feel the print is my greatest area for development; for the knit I learnt the most with new stitches and techniques and for the stitch I hope that the samples demonstrate my ability to experiment and challenge my own abilities.  I gave up photographing all of the final samples but here are some of the stitches circles, made from charity shop garments, using multiple fabrics to create layers and 3D effects:
