Some of my recent university work!

Busybusybusy!
I've been given so much work recently, and i'm nearly done! (ish...)

For my drawing unit of my course, the brief was to produce a sketchbook of ideas that could inspire clothing and/or silouettes,
based on a colour of my choice. I chose red :)

I used loads of different mediums; paint, pastel, ink, melted candle wax, tracing paper, thread and spray paint!

Here's a few pages of what I have done so far!
(You could call it experimenting, or you could call it mess...)











Still a lot more to do!
More to come when its finished...

The Finished Scarf!

Finally...
The scarf is well and truely finished, and it is very, very long!
All the more scarf to wrap myself up in to keep myself warm in these gale force winds that we have here!

Hello cosyness

So yes, there it is.
Comes in very handy on visits to the beach on a blustery day :)

I'm in the paper...

I was recently asked to write a small passage for my local newspaper.
My secondary school had a 4 page spread in the paper, with students writing articles about the school and subjects.
I wrote about the technology department (in which I studied for my Product Design Textiles A Level) and got to show the final garment I had created!

Excitinggg...



Note, the quote from the little boy doesnt have anything to do with my article... :)


Lovely.

Scarf is finished!
Pictures will arrive sooooooon

Something random,

Not quite sure my knitting skills would quite be up to making my own version of this,
but...

I want one.



From the Kenzo Autumn/Winter Ready-to-wear 2009 Collection.


I think I'll just stick to the scarf for now...

Oopsy...

Wow. Long time no posting for mee! Poor little rejected blog :(
Well seeing as I have now started my course at uni, I should be able to post more often, and make alot more things to write posts on!

Just thought I would share the men's jacket that I made for my Product Design Textiles A level.

Hello.



It had a zip in/out (removable) waistcoat. Below is the jacket without the waistcoat.
I think I prefer it like this :)



Thank you to the lovely boy who modeled for me ♥
My mum thinks he looks like a real malemodel. I don't think was very impressed with this :)
Also, thank you for allowing me use of the fancy camera!
The amount of hours of my life that I spent on this jacket were rewarded with a grade A and full marks. Goodtimes.


Anyway. I shall stop rejecting my blog as of now, as I am sure I will be making/doing lots of interesting things throughout the years of my BA Fashion studies degreeee!



Peace
♥
