FASHION!!

ok 5th attempt to do my  blog its not saving ahhhh!!!
so MONDAY....we got our fashion briefs and i picked the theme fish of course i based mine on exotic fish because i love there colours and shapes. i research fish and picked some pictures that i found interesting.
TUESDAY...... i pulled shapes from my images so i could then chose 2 shapes to devlop into different outfits and manipulate them to create different shapes....
we had a colour demonstration which was very interesting and we devloped colour stories which will be used to colour our finished designs....
WENSDAY...... we did a fashion drawing workshop. we draped material over a manaquin and drew it in different media to protray different textures
we were also showed how to lay out our sketch books in a very ineresting way
THURSDAY.........i picked my 2 shapes and cut them out in paper in different sizes and experimented with them on the manaquin.th crazier the better.
FRIDAY.....we contiued to devlop our outfit ideas and documented them with photos and i started to focus on details such as collars skirts etc.....


MONDAY.....we developed more ideas in our sketch book and had a workshop to learn how to use the sewing machine which was really fun!! and noo i didnt sew my fingers together!!
TUESDAY...... we continued to develop more of our ideas today and also we cut out our shapes in different weights of fabric to contrast the way they fell on the maniquin to the paper we had used before

here are a few pics to show you some work!!

more project!!!

this is the finished example combined material soo in december i thought hmmm why not do it huge soooo i ended up with this!!!...

i really like this especially the scale!!!

 i did a lino print just to be able to contrast a lino with a woodblock....lino is way easier to cut!!! i printed the image on to coloured tissue paper type stuff and it turned out very well!!!

 i covered 2 sheets of paper with news paper articles and decided to print on it!!!

 this is a pratice print!!!

 on the newspaper lino print i accidently spilled tea on it and im actually glad i did it turn out very funky!!!

this is a close up of some of the wood block prints i did!!

i found this welder machine ( thats what my dad said it was) in the scrap yard and loved the copper wire on it so i thought hmmmm why not do a 3d with it soo i unwrapped the wire it took sooo long....

i twisted 2 pieces of wire together it make it stronger using a fork and the door handle it was great fun!!!

and i started bending and twisting together the wire.... this is the top of the claw it took quiet a few hours and its huge even bigger as i have the claws attached on it now but forgot to take a pic of it before i put it in the car today sooo you shall all see it tomoro when i have my assement!!! thats all buy for now!

what ive ben up to since november!!!!

ok i have being doing a load of experimenting the last few months and a lot of printing!!!! and im still enjoying doing my project on the claw!!!!
firstly i did a small example of the claw in combined material...

 using anything i could find eg: plaster cast, twine, brown paper etc...

 and i also painted it see finished piece in my portfoilo!!

 i then started a wood block print and my blood went into this literally i cut my hand a couple of times when the cuttin tool slipped ouch!! it was very hard to do!!! but i finally got it done

 and you can see a couple of my prints in this picture hanging in my work space

 more work space i love this place!!!!
