Our N.C.A.D Textile Design Exhibit at the Knitting & Stitching Show

I wait all year long eagerly for the Knitting and Stitching Show at the RDS Dublin. And yesterday was that day but the start got off to a bad wet start. Got off my bus in Dublin in the middle of a downpour that at the point where I had to walk to the train station at Connelly it was torrential rain. So by the time I had walked from Sandymount train station to the RDS my feet were now like prunes and my boots and socks/tights were making fantastic water sound effects. But finally I was there, checked in on my rota and had a quick run around the buzzing, full of chatter, lots of women RDS Knitting and Stitching stands and then onto the NCAD Stand.


Our stand looked very well and I'm not just saying that because our last project is on the mannequins but because it did look great! Let me tell you about the pieces we had on show:


Carrie Kinhan - Applied Art

This beautiful piece was the main attraction at our display and got the most attention and we proudly pointed the people onto Carries own stall behind the N.C.A.D stand. Her piece is based on Memories. And it is stunning! The photo does it no justice at all.


Also at the stand we had pieces from Rachel Platt and Rachel Tynan 
on the stand but unfortunately didn't get a chance to take photos of their pieces.  Also showing at the show is another graduate of NCAD is Ciara Harrison and and Clodagh Evelyn. All their beautiful pieces can be seen at the Knitting and Stitching Show, RDS till tomorrow Sunday, 13th of November, 2011. .


And lastly the pieces my fellow classmates and I made for the Golden Hair project at the end of last term.

The Outfit the group I was in made

If you look closely you will notice the fringing on dress and shoes etc is cable ties

My favourite outfit is the white one, partly made from the plastic wrappers off the strips put in your hair for doing your highlights

  
For the Photoshoot photos of these outfits on the models go back to my earlier post found here:

...and today I am not feeling the best with a throbbing head think I have a bad head cold after the pour down I got yesterday but still it was worth it and after I did manage to buy lots of goodies yesterday from Art Van Go and chatted to the very nice and talented Mr. X Stitch who's stand was behind the NCAD one and he came over for a chat.  ..and now my throbbing head and I are off to try and get some work done.
