Blast from the Past

This is something I created when I was doing my BTEC foundation course at Yorkshire Coast College around 3 years ago before I specialised in knit. When the chaise longue was delivered to me, it had plastic legs and was covered in faux fur with a cow pattern on it - not to my taste at all! It was originally produced for pets to use, but I decided I would change it into something decorative - so I decided to replace the legs and to recover it for my final project.
Inspired by the Indian culture combined with perceptions of the female body, I wanted to create a rustic, authentic aesthetic.

This has to be one of my favourite early creations - I hope you like it too :-)
