Laser cutting

I have introduced laser cutting into my collection as I feel it compliments the look I am trying to achieve. Frogs have been my main point of inspiration so I started to experiment with cutting different shapes. I soon came to my favoured shape made from brightly coloured neoprene.



Here is my final laser cut shape

Starting to toile

Toiling - using a casting technique by covering the stand in selotape to mould the figure. Once the stand is covered then the style lines can be drawn on. This pattern cutting technique gives a true bodycon pattern and is now one of my favourite ways of pattern cutting!
