Ahhh my blog has finally been allowed back into public domain, for a while here they believed it to be robot spam, how preposterous is that.

So its been a while but worth the wait! This week has been fairly busy again, its so difficult to settle into a working pattern, especially living in halls, theres always someone to talk to or get distracted by, i need to get organised so much its actually keeping me from sleeping!

Ive been loving all the fashion drawing we have been doing this week, i love it, although i think i need to broaden my perspective much more, i have always had a distinct style and sort of stuck to it because i do like it, but increasingly i realise thats why im here to try out new things and experiment. We had to photocopy an image from our research to incorporate into our drawings, i chose on of the Chapman brothers child head sculptures and created some bondagey style outfits. Was thinking PVC and vacuum forming shapes etc etc...this is a couple of them

Also did some miniature work on barbies, creating little outfits which was quite fun, my favourite part was the photography of it, it actually looks quite cool on a plastic doll, this has given me some ideas since my artist inspiration is very much to do with plastic mannequins...

Created some sort of generic outifts, nothing as exciting as i could have done, but i find it hard to create through fabric experimentation, for me it is all about experiment through drawing and writing to give me ideas for shapes and design. if i had been able to draw them before this would have been much more exciting.

We then did an anonymous critique with post it notes, i found some of the advice useful, but most of it was just that the illustration was nice. The most interesting thing was noting that of the contrast of the wire and silk which im glad someone thought was exciting.
Ive always found that people, especially girls are generally too nice in crits, i thought anonymous crits would be more meaty, but maybe in the future, we have only just met each other etc...








Aside from this, i just need to plough on with some serious research and drawing for our projects, i am enjoying it alot so thats good but its literally just finding the time, or sticking to the time slot, might draw up a little timetable of my own or something...
