ok, I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been so much more chilled out since those last two projects have been handed in but I’m so eager to hear what marks I got ?!

For our new project we were set into new groups, which was good because I made friends with some new people – we had to answer the most random questions but it was quite funny. The idea of it was to become more aware of where we could buy materials etc from. Also to teach us not to feel awkward when going into higher end shops. This linked to our new project which is based on trends- I went with some of my flat mates round some shops and we took photos of garments in the changing rooms. Most of my photos came out quite blurry! But it was quite interesting to see some really unique garments in shops I’ve never been in before…… plus it was fun pretending you could afford those items for a day !

here are some of the photos ....

Today i went into college to give in my creative design realistion project - im relieved to have it out the way but at the same time im kind of nervous to see what i get ?! its weird to think thats the first thing ive ever made - im proud that ive made something - and even though it might not be the best made garment ever i think i still learnt so much for the next piece i make.

It was creative approaches to fashion deadline today - it was really relieving to give it in and have it off my mind !! My creative design realistion project is in on friday so i will be able to focus on our new breif soon, which is on tuesday. I can't wait til we get feedback for our projects though - im really interested to see what the tutors thought of my work .

The roles reversed and I got crystal to model my garment - I was going around the concept of a fallen angel - I havent chosen yet which photo to go with but here i some of the choices.....

Today was such a good day -Crystal asked me to model her top for creative approaches - when she first suggested it I was a bit scared but I loved it !She wanted to back comb my hair which was a terrifying thought - I have to admit! But I actually quite liked it. I was like Spiderman!! hanging of scaffolding and the bridge ! I can't believe how much fun I had doing it so I've posted some pics of me risking life and limb in the name of fashion !!!!

Creative approaches update!! I started manipulating my garments in college - at first I was a bit blank but once I began cutting up and unpicking the items to manipulate, it all started to come together. I posted some pictures of my work in process.......

I haven’t written since reading week so I’ve just posted some new parts of my creative approaches to fashion sketch book and some illustrations . We are starting to manipulate our garments this week so I‘m going to sketch out some final design ideas later.
Really enjoying design realisation at the moment, at first I thought it was all going over my head but I’m finding it really exciting now- next week I am putting together my dress so who knows what will happen?!!
Also i had my first proper illustration class and i loved it - we had to capture an image put in front of us in a certain amount of time ,with different ways of using media - we went from using our left hand to drwaing to the beat of a song, to drawing on eachothers work . I'm quite looking froward to next wednesday .
