PA - Joy Division #6

Tadaa! So I finally got around to upload these photos and edit them, I must say that it is ten times easier at college on the Macs as they just WORK. I think my Macbook Pro is having a slow death, but I need it to survive so I can take it with me to university. 

So what to you think? Bit boring, okay? 

Advise of the day: don't attempt to sew in silk its just not worth it, it gives you more grey hairs than you could ever imagine.

PA - Joy Division #5

Just to show some Joy Division print samples before I show you the final outcome. 

The massive blue splodge wasn't intentionally, it was a bloody first year that knocked over the ink pot - and then she even said that it was okay, because it's 'only' a sample! Deep breath, I could have ripped her head off! I suppose it was pleasing when my tutor told her of, hehe. 

Anyway even after doing samples, the final outcome actually looks significantly different if you ask me, but I guess I notice it more as I am the one working on it and the details are noticeable for the one working on the project, 

Hope you're all well and enjoying your Tuesday!

PA - Joy Division #4

Sorry for being so quite lately, but I haven't got much to show you, as everything is at a stand still. Most of the time I'm doing journal work and I'll spare you from that, unless you of course are interested?

Here's part four from the Joy Division project, I have actually completed the project now, so I'll show you the final outcome soon! 

On the above images I'm prepping the screen with my print, ready to get exposed - and pattern cutting the dress/tunic that I'm printing the print on. 

Today its bank holiday in England and I am spending the day with my grandparents - to celebrate my Grandpa's 87th birthday, which is actually first on Wednesday. 

Still haven't had the opportunity to go back to Wendover Woods to look at the location during some dryer weather, as it still keeps stucking it down with rain.

PA - JOY DIVISION # 2

I have finally chosen which design I'm going for my Printed Accessories lesson, it's the face of Ian Curtis, which was in at late 1970's band called Joy Division, funny enough!

The print is going onto a silk dress, which will be a nightmare to make! Wish me luck!

FMP - Kimono Part Three

All photos taken by me, with a Olympus X-1

So I finally finished the Alexander McQueen jacket, as I have said before it turned out to be a lot more tricky than anticipated, but I'm really pleased with the result - except for that awful material! Its done, its sit funny, but that because the mannequin is too small for the actual size of the jacket, but my tutor and I still have a funny feeling about how it sits.

This week in Construction I will be focusing on fabric manipulation and start on a Japanese pattern from the Pattern Magic 2 book! Its always good with a challenge.

The fabric manipulation is mainly to boost my portfolio, as I haven't got any images from previous fabric manipulation sessions and the college isn't the most organised one in the world...

I know I haven't been really good at updating this week, but I'd rather show you finished pieces instead of the mess of a step-by-step.

Now time to watch Stephen Fry: The Secret of the Manic Depression, it watching it in relation to the Joy Division project, as there are theories about Ian Curtis having bipolar, although at the time he was only ever diagnosed with epilepsy.

PA - JOY DIVISION

We are just about to start a new project in Printed Accessories, titled Joy Division. All I know for now is that its going to be based on this late 1970s post-industrial Manchester post-punk band. Tuesday we saw the documentary about them, really rather depressing and tragic.

The collage about, is my attempt to make a mood board, really not my strong side, but we were asked to produce a mood board for our next lesson, which is tomorrow.

Here's the proof that I have done my homework or should call it "self directed study", as college would put it.

Another news is that I have just received my new Olympus XZ-1 camera, so there will hopefully be a few more updates, with lots of photos! Hurray!
