PhotoShoot.

I had to use myself as a the girl model because my first and only choice of a lady ended up not being able to do the photo shoot for me.
Thank god for tripods and little sister's who press the shutter button.
As you can see... one of my t-shirts.
I'm glad i got to do the photo shoot with the actually t-shirts instead of photoshopping the images onto the t-shirts.

Took a week to get a decent screen exposed.
Took atleast a week to screen print all the t-shirts.
Third and final week of christmas there was a lot of editing to do on the photos taken for the lookbook.
Had over 500 photos look search through.

All in all i think it was quite a success.

Labels.

I was quite good at sewing in the labels to the t-shirts,
yes i was quite surprised.

The labels:
Screen printed repeat pattern onto a fabulous colour, good quality material.
Sewn in using my cheapo sewing machine.
I've said it once and i'll say it again... fabulous.
What a word.
I didn't think i was good at working with fabric... but i guess i was proven wrong.

My original idea was to use this one:

But as you can see in this picture, i decided to go with the other pattern.

The design was taken from a stencil/monoprint i did of a symbol in alchemy.

The original...

^This is A3 size.^

I did this using a stencil i cut out,

a roller and block ink.

I do this because i love the texture given.

And this is the design i used to screen print onto the fabric.

TGD

The Golden Dawn.
Mixture of processes.
1) Drawing
2) Painted cork board and string
3) Ink and dip pen, stencil and block ink
4) Stencil and block ink and roller

LookBook.

Today I'm trying to make a couple labels for my t-shirts.
Trying to do more than one thing at a time is taking forever...
just because i have so much to do for monday that i don't know where to start.

I've edited ONE photo from yesterday.
It's one way i could do it...

I DID IT!

Kind of.

I screen printed all the t-shirts that i could with the time i had.
This is a sneak peak.
I now need to edit all the photos from the photoshoot i did today,
home made photography studio was my bedroom.
was refreshing from the print studio which was my bedroom.
a photography studio is cleaner!
Stay tuned. x
oh my god, assessment on tuesday!

Label making.

Well... trying to design labels
and here's a practice onto fabric.
Can you say 'A'?!

Merry Christmas yo x

Portfolio time.

the last 2 days i've been trying to sort out my portfolio for assessment.
And while i'm doing it i get to figure out what else exactly i need to do.
and it's alot. alot.
i mean a lot. (not alot)...

I have t-shirts and posters to print.
labels to design.
and try and make my portfolio look pretty and handsome.
and try and do some more work for my portfolio so it all pieces together.
ahhh.
everything's going to take so long to do, and so much effort,
and i only have 2 weeks to do it.
hurry ange, hurry.

I love it all though, it's fun and exciting.
I'm sure i'll get it done *fingers crossed*

Holidays off from uni are never holidays,
just means more compact working hours.
What i mean is, the moment i wake up to the moment i go to sleep is all dedicated to working.

Here's something i did today,

Enjoy.

Boo.

Yes, boo to me not posting in a while.
Trying to organise my head!
Had my draft dissertation hand in last week,
and i'm at work, finding myself still writing my dissertation.
No rest for the wicked.
I may moan about having to write this damn thing,
only because i'm no good at explaining what's in my head.
I love the subject i am doing it on.
PSYCHEDELIC ART.
such a misunderstood art movement. How i love you so.
I love reading about it, and the images are just incredible.
This would be perfect if i wasn't so dyslexic.
Oh and had a dyslexia meeting today, i'm wanting my free mac,
but obviously i've left it too long so don't know if 5 months is an acceptable amount of time to be at uni till it finishes to be able to get a free mac... ya get me?

Light Shows.

Still loving playing around with fabric design idea...

I uploaded this one already but it was too plain,

So here i have made it more interesting and has more colours.

Normally my work is very black and white but as a fabric design i think more colour the better.
I'm still going to play around with this one, with colour and maybe add more lines.
I love lines.

This scanner is well good...

So good that when i pressed scan by accident when i was cleaning the screen
you can even see my face...

Today was another busy day at uni.
I thought i was going off on a tangent doing other things that didn't need to be done,
but was doing it... just because.
Turns out, doing what i did gave me some brilliant ideas to further this project.
I'm needing to brand myself and the work i do.

Coming up with a name is hard.
But i have some ideas.
When i have some more solid ideas, i will share them with you.

For some reason i don't like giving away things too soon,
i guess it's like jinxing it.
Another busy day tomorrow,
getting my fabric design printed.
I don't want to speak too soon,
but I'm well excited about seeing it big and on fabric.
Another busy day tomorrow,
best get to bed.
Night, x

Finally!

This is a sneak peak.
I think i'm getting close to a proper fabric design.
I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing i want to create.
There's one other idea i want to try.
It's pretty exciting now.
This one is based on an alchemy symbol i drew.
I'd explain more but i need to go wash my hair before misfits,
(and i'd probably explain more in every single post if that ability came natural to me)

This is better:

Dya think?

I combined two drawings i did yesterday and added some colour on paint...
well i mean photoshop but it was as basic as using good old microsoft paint.

In my previous post you'll see my base idea for this.
