Weeek 2

So this week, I really wanted to have a pretty clear idea of what I wanted my 6 pieces to look like by my meeting on Wednesday, I spent Monday and Tuesday really buckling down pushing out as many ideas and designs as i could, and then by Wednesday I had about 8 designs I was quite happy with and could see a real harmony going on with them.

Wednesday I obviously had my meeting with the teachers where they were actually really happy and impressed with what I'd produced and they helped me to be really cut throat with what stays and what goes. I'd been worried about showing the teachers because my first meeting I was very undecided and I was a little worried that I hadnt met the expectations they were wanting to see out of me.

But overall it was very successful. The only problem now was to settle on how exactly the colours were gonna flow in each garment and what little minor adjustments needed to be made so that it all fit perfectly.

Thursday Brenton, Ally, Emma, Najree and I, went down to see Allen to check out some fabrics and see what kind of prices we were looking at.
It was so overwhelming I think we all walked out with headaches because we just had so much to look at and take in. It really is mind boggling and makes you wanna throw a million different fabrics into your range.
I was really happy with what I saw and seeing the fabric makes it so much more clearer in your mind about what your range may look like and the colours you can work with and just how things will flow.
Friday I went around looking at some more fabric places, just to get some samples of fabrics,at the moment my biggest worry is finding the colours I want in the tulles I need.

Allens range was really good but as the swatches were really quite small or he only had photos of the fabric, I really needed to go out and source from other places just to get an ideas of what a full piece would look like.
I also went around to hardware stores and craftstores to see if I could find some studs and/or metal for my warrior masks
HARDER THAN I THOUGHT

well theres always next week
a new week a new attitude
im confident itll all work out
its only early days after alll

and the fun continues......
