I do love America.

My dad has just got home from the amazing city of Las Vegas, so I have decided to share with you several images of the yummy treats he has bought back. Key lime pie flavored chewing gum and strawberry shortcake, obviously lucky charms and Hershey's cookies and cream for my sister (yuck) . I wish that England had some more interesting sweets than it does, I feel like life would be a lot more interesting and a lot more fun! 

YAY !!

Well I finally nearly ish finished my skirt.. photos will be uploaded soon of both mine and Jess's photoshoot when we do it. Trying to sew the rubber waistband has been a nightmare today for pretty much everyone !! We have our new brief so its bye bye fashion and a MASSIVE HELLO to interiors again!! I can not wait to get into this project although I have really enjoyed making this skirt and approaching a totally different style that I am used to. In all honesty it really has not been as bad as I thought it would be!! and my skirt actually fits shock horror! I have a few of the photos of my skirt in the process of being completed.. So here it is until I begin my journey of making another chair... I aim to make this a lot better than my other one and I can not wait to get back into screen printing <3 aaahhh

Its My Birthday.

How dedicated am I to actually write a blog on my birthday ?! or maybe I just feel a tinchy bit guilty about not blogging very well at the moment. So here are a few photographs of random things that I have done today... I made my own cake with the help of Hayley and another picture of what my little car says to me <3

WELL WELL WELL

Hello, It has been a while and my excuse is that I have been working 29hours over the past 3 days. Not gunna lie I am shattered!. Here is a quick update for you... I'm 19 on Sunday (N) the Skirt is is slow progress... mainly because I am so terrified that I will be getting it wrong so wont actually touch it... but I will be eventually. I have been doing a little bit of research into my idea. Not too much just some places FMP ect. I don't have anything that I can currently upload right now other than a recent picture of my cat Custard... 

 

We Need More Piggys!

I was thinking that I hadn't blogged a micro pig in a while so here is yet another piggy.... awwwwh

Bargain...

Got my chair sorted for our next project. For the bargain price of £3 from a local dump. And after all its not about what it looks like now its about what it could look like. I am quite excited to get going with doing a chair again with a totally different project title. It is now half term so I have a week to finish off my skirt and I will hopefully have enough fabric to actually make it... The burning process was very time consuming but worth it in the end and I still haven't figured out how I'm going to attach the lace to my skirt.

I just realised that the love of my life has not been talked about on my blog. Professor Green is my babe! He is amazing and I love him!

EXPERIMENTS

BURN BURN BURN.... here are some pictures of my experimentation with the blow torch, we are still trying to figure out how to burn lengths of fabric instead of small bits but it is a little bit tricky as it is so delicate. But is all about the trial and error so the more you go at it the more likely it is going to work. Off to buy more washers tomorrow! I haven't got as many photographs of the final experimentation pieces as I thought so I will take better photos of the final outcomes at a later date.

HERE THEY ARE

So I have finally got my photographs off Oliver, and now you can see actual photos of the mood board. Today I had a nightmare day trying to make a toile of my skirt.. I wasn't feeling brilliant anyway and it just added to my agginess!! But in the end I gave up with actually using my paper pattern I had lovingly made and measured and decided to fit the toile to my body instead... this has sort of worked but now I am at a loss as to how I am going to make the pieces for my actual skirt.... Oh well here is my first post of the evening of my photographs.

WELL WELL WELL..

I am currently watching glee and totally loving it, I am also at the same time trying to make a decent fashion illustration.. and I'm not going to lie it is quite annoying! On the plus side I got my fabric on Friday and I am going to get burning it all tomorrow! I have attempted to create a skirt pattern but it is totally not working so I am giving up until tomorrow on that. My plans for this evening are as follows 1. Finish some fashion illustrations 2. I need to get an early night 3. Pack my bag ready for tomorrow as I know I will end up forgetting something otherwise. 4. Try to get better... its ANNOYING me. Now back to college work. I wont forget my sd card tomorrow!!!

I found this on http://pallinad.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

gives you an idea of what burning fabric can turn into.
