I'm taking a bait of time out from my work to look into competitions. The Cath Kidston brief appeals to me as it's simply to create a new pattern. However the brief is very specific in terms of what is wanted. I played around with the idea of patchwork using samples of my window work to create this pattern. I don't think it looks like a Cath Kidston piece, and the brief was very specific in saying that the pattern should fit in with the original conversational pieces. Examples of the conversational prints include:
London Scene
Cowboy
Safari
Looking through the Cath Kidston website I noticed a few areas not covered within their prints; the sea, camping, houses and farmland. The brief asks for a print that is nostalgic and depicts british humour among other things. I've therefore decided to create a pattern based on the british countryside. Looking at cottage like houses and farmland alike. This will allow me to use previous research from Jersey and more first-hand research using my local area as bournemouth has a small area dedicated to farmland.
