remember i said i was going to make some clothes the two weeks jus before i go back to uni and to fix my grandmas trousers...well didnt do any of tht...jus got lazy for two weeks and booom!! uni work jus took over... my timetable is crazy 9.30-4.30 everyday apart from friday...half day friday but i have work after uni... even though the timetable says we finish at 4.30 i still stayed in the studio workin till like 7 or half 7 most of the days...dont get home till 8!! that is how crazy it has been...
iv been eating crap n eating at dodgy times and sleeping dodgy times tht it has caused my health so messed up gained weight and unhealthy skin...i look dead lately. iv been doing all nighters doing my work, like every week i hav two a nighters...44 hrs awake my longest and do it almost every week...so many deadlines!! well its finally christmas holidays and i only have two weeks of..they say 3 weeks but they still wanted us to go in to uni last week. >.<
i was asked the other day design is so tough am i actually going to design after graduation?...i actually paused and thought >.< because of all the stress!! but then again all this hard work is not going down to waste!! one of the tutors made me feel like crap already she said i dont know how to draw and that i shouldnt be on the course...and askd did i come from foundation!! i was soo mad!! yes i came from foundation therfore i put alot of time, effort and money to get onto this course so this is what i want!! if this is not what i wanted i could of just easily down my degree at college or at sheffield hallam wer my friend is and my boyfriend being at sheffield uni >.< why waste an extra year in foundation just to get into salford...aiiii!!
anyway...its been a while...i made a few things in a few projects...have some images but should really get it taken as a photoshoot...
this was one of first had one week to design and make...i kind of rushed this as u can see the design is nothing special...at hand in we was told to lay all our work out and put the garment on a manequine then the tutors will look at everyones and put them in to individual groups n we will talk about the gud and bad...the groups are kind of like grades from A-D...A being the best and D very low...i thought i was definatly going in to D because the design is really boring!! but amazingly i was put in B thts like 2:1...it wasnt the final grade but it was to tell us what standard we are in i was so shocked!! the tutor told me tht it was a boring design simple and too short for a dress...(im short it was perfect length for me) lol but what made it a B is the bubble effects i did on it...to create the effect i used marbles tied them in to the fabric with elastic bands and steamed it. i had to use something from my magazine i did for the summer project as inspiration and i chose to use the egg puffs...
see the resemblance?... :p
ok second outfit was done in 2 weeks and had to include print and inspired by my favorite place...my favorite place obviously Hong Kong...i cudnt think of what to put as the print and even asked around what people would think of when they think of hk got lots of replies but mainly food or shopping..then i thought of chinese people the streets of hk is always packed out and over crowded of hk people...like day and night so i did a print of alot of chinese people... i called it "yellow people" lol
its a wierd combination the waistcoat and the baggy pants but i thought the pants wer cool and feel loose and free the tutors didnt like them >.< haha lol but not surprised it does look wierd. The lining in the waistcoat took me for ever!!!!! got so stressed out tht i didnt bother answering my mums calls and told her to leave me alone...felt bad afterwards though lol...
