No rest for the wicked!

New project for spinning tops commenced 3 days ago! we've been making spiders webs all around college! They look really cool, and my group wanted to create a web which was like a funnel, "a funnel web"! haha. It was so fun and good to work in a team! I didnt have my camera with me, so just some pictures on my blackberry but they arent very good quality.

At first I was a bit confused as to how spinning tops links with spider webs, but they dont link directly, they link via movement, spinning tops move by us spinning them, and webs are made by the movement of the spider and this is where the project appears quite diverse, which is good because we dont have to stick to one particular aspect, we can veer off in all kinds of different tangents, I'm excited to do some drawings of some spinning tops because I've been told I am quite expressive in my drawing and they have lots of energy. So this sort of think is perfect for me!

 The beginning of our wonderful web!

 Spinninggggg topsssssssss !

 I like the idea of capturing the movement of the spinning top on top of my drawing

Managed to spin it on my hand, how cool!!

Delicate Era finishedddd!

This project was 3 weeks, and we had to re-brand a product/ store, and I chose a vintage fashion store.  I chose the name delicate era as we had to link it to wasps, delicate being linked to the wasp itself, as they are delicate and vulnerable insects, and era linking to the aged vintage clothing as they are from different era's.

My target audience would be any age any gender with a passion for vintage clothes! In the magazine it has a "Make your own" on page 10, this is for fashion lovers who love to make their own clothes, it provides individuality for the customers.

I really enjoyed this project, and these are some of the promotional merchandise I created for my brand Delicate Era.

Delicate Era

Hii havent blogged for a while, sorryy.

Right now i am creating the front page for a website- my website. Delicate Era which we are doing at college. I chose to re-brand a vintage store, and put it online so people can shop from home.

And this is what I have so far....

Love Eve x

Art is paper...

Hi everyoneee! I just finished photographing my paper corset for my wasps project- deadline monday! :O I didnt have much to work with, but i managed to create a photoshoot 'as such' inspired by 'Su Blackwell'. I fell in love with her work when I looked through. It's so delicate and beautiful, I love the way she uses space in much of her work.
This is the photo that I was really inspired by to make a photoshoot, obviously mine is not even half as good, but i did try!

And here is mine.. (apologies for the dark image)

paper corset!

Began to make a corset this evening for my final piece of our 'wasps' project. It's coming along nicely, I'm just waiting for the paper mache to dry. It wont be a corset that you can wear but I'm making it as it is inspired by the shape of the body of a wasp, the waist, which is virtually non-existent reminds me of a corset in the olden days, where they had to where corset which squeezed their waist right in, sometimes to the point where they fainted. I began to google 'corset's' to get some ideas of shapes etc, and I discovered that there was actually such thing as a 'wasp waist corset'! how odd! So i guess that that is what i am creatinggg :D

The designs

This is the back, it has a little point at the bottom for the sting of the wasp!

The middle bit where the corset waist is really small, just like a wasps body.

Tis is the front at the bust, im oing to give it a texture which represent the wasps nest, papery and delicate. Also the toilet rolls are to make the shape of the tubes in the wasps nest.

Same, just a different angle :)

Hopefully I'll get this done by monday! Aaaaah!

Prospectus' coming out my ears!

Okay so I didnt realise prospectus' I actually ordered, nearly everyday I've got home this week there's been atleast 2 waiting for me on the door step! My room is going to be full of them! Falmouth and Bath Spa came yesterday, and Newport  today. I reeaaaallyyy like Falmouth, although it's a bit far to travel down to the open day so I'm going to have to ring up and squeeze as much info out of them as I can! Newport is another one near to the top of my list, however Im not confident it is the right university for fashion design hmmm.. Will see if I can go to the open day for a nose around :D

This week has been pretty hectic for college work, as our 3 week project is due in on monday, so I've been experimenting with more media than I can list. I've really enjoyed it though. Today I stayed mainly on the sewing machine, and I made what could be a pillow case I guess, it looks very textiley as you can see !

I also had an attempt at making an origami wasp which did NOT come out well, so I dont think I'll be posting that on here! ha ha
