KNIT: stencils

Here are close ups of the knit samples I used in the Sibling project. As my research was inspired my Basquait, Street Art and Haitan Voodoo I decided to use spray paints and fabric paints on top of the knit.

I knitted a plain grey sample and used a stencil with fabric paint so I could have this beautiful 2 headed beast on the knit.

I was influenced by Jean Michel Basquait and used his image of a crown that I made a stencil of, then used fabric spray paint. It washes very well which I was rather surprised by.

Sibling are an innovative and sometimes outrageous (think sequins and leopard print) menswear knitwear company. We were given a brief by them to design 6 pieces for a capsule collection of knitwear and accessories. I initially started to research into Jean-Michel Basquiat, then into street art and Haitian voodoo. I then developed knitwear samples (see above) based on these themes, with some of the samples I used fabric spray paint stencils.
