Mood board

Here's a mood board for a commission I've just started work on, I really excited about this project, my first as a graduate, I'll keep you posted with how it's coming along and tell you more about it in time :)

I'm afraid I don't have credits for all these images which I know is naughty. The colour palette is from Design seeds and a couple of the images are scanned from books in the library. If anyone owns/knows of any of the image sources let me know and I shall credit :)



Christening dress

I've been busy busy sewing yet another dress, this time one to wear to my gorgeous niece's christening and possibly graduation too. I bought this fabric a while ago and have been itching to make it but I restrained myself until after my hand in. I absolutely love it and can't wait to wear it :)

I'm thinking red nails, red shoes and a fascinator, perfect outfit!

Beach dress!

So, I gave myself a couple of days break from textiles after my deadline, (I have to admit I got a little bored) and then I couldn't resist the call of my sewing machine any longer. So, voila! I made a beach dress. I'm a little bit smug about this one I have to say, I just imagined it and whipped it up, and it looks great on me :) I love it when that happens. So now I'm all ready to enjoy the sunshine at the beach next weekend (fingers crossed for that sunshine!) :)

And so there it is, done.

Well, it's over. The last couple of weeks turned into a mad stress-filled panic but now it's done, the work is all up, everyone's exhibition looks really amazing, now time to relax and celebrate. There is a few more things to do, a presentation next week of our work, but basically that's it. Degree. Done.

My show space! I am so happy with how it turned out, exactly as I imagined, I wanted to create a simple boudoir theme as a showcase for my lingerie designs. (Please excuse fairly terrible quality iphone photos, I meant to take in my camera but I forgot. I'll take some better photos next time :) )



Almost there!

Frantic painting, sewing, buying, organising, researching, photographing, mounting and displaying of work. Just 10 days to go!
