Samples.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! samples that i am happy to present!! ...so, i had them digitally printed, devored onto them and yesterday i printed with illuminating acids onto my sample fabrics! steamed them for 40 mins and washed them. The colours were just how i imagined and even better! i am going to add a few further techniques to a few of them like embroidery and heavy embelishment, foiling, puff binder, flocking etc. This is where i am at now.

Illustrations.

As i only had the computer for a few hours at uni today, i spent my few hours working on illustrations. I worked with different styles of dresses with my patterns, looking at what styles worked with what dresses. Spending my day tomorro flicking through magazines for market research and my technical file...and ofcourse starting up on my presentation which is on thursday morning!!

The final hurdle...

I keep reminding myself that the sky is the limit and anything is possible! I make a list every night of what i have already achived/done and what i need to achieve and what needs to be done!

24 days to go and the list follows...
statement of practise, bibliography, refrences, techincal file, CAD work, black and white a4 images of my designs, market research and the samples!
progression is on going, ALWAYS has been and ALWAYS wil be!! until the very end!!

samples are finally sent off...

Showed my final ideas to my tutor, to find that my work was pixelated in areas. To solve the problem of the pixels, i spent a whole day softening out the images on photoshop. Yesterday, i went and bought £90 worth of sequins for the final degree show to give the final touches of the Indian culture to my work. I made a few new samples that i had then learnt how to put into repeat. Early this morning, i sent off for my samples!!! which i am so relieved about now!! now to work on the other things until i get them back!

Writing up my technical file notes at the moment and adding small pictures of the images i have created on photoshop. Would like to get my technical file up to date by tomorrow and then i can just add to it every night with the new processes i wil do in the print room. Would also like to finish off any last bits of CAD work i have left to do by applying my images onto fashion and interiors.
