Three men and a goat photo Shot

Ah its been so long since my last post, things have been crazy, death, births, marriages etc!!! But here are the pictures from the 'three men and a goat shot' for the magazine 'Go reborn' It happened somewhere around degree show time, so may ish but we borrowed some of the editors friends for the photos and it was shot all around edinburghs grassmarket so that was cool!

So there was no actual goat but they still looked cool. Another eca graduate from illustration is going to add to the photographs and give the boys some amazing heads!

degree show set up!!

Well its almsot time to set up degree show, here are a few wee pictures of my space, rougly set up!!! It should look great......

Sneak peeks!!!

Here are a few wee pictures taken from photo shot with Andrew R Moore and model Alistair Hammer, i love the intensity of the grey back ground against the off white fabric....

Fashion Show finished!!!!

Well the fashion show is over. it went really well and im really happy with it. The boys did really well and rocked my garments!!!

I loved it when Ali put down his hood when he reached the end of the run way. So so slick!!!

Got some interest from this as well, some folks are looking to purchase the garments which is exciting.

'you gotta strut guys!'

Did photo shot last night with Ali and photographer Andrew R Moore. Was really great and Ali did really well!!!
Had first full dress rehearsal of show this morning, things went well. Here are a few sneak peaks of Ali, Robbie and Fergus modeling for me! They have been told to really strut down the catwalk, get a bit of swagger!
 Just need to do some finer tweaking of gaments etc and finish Robbies socks..... another long night.....

love the moss

Re did the lining in the hood for this. really wasnt happy with how the lime looked on the satin so changed it for the moss on the twill. Think it will  much subtler for this crazy garment.

Will just need to print a little more for the lining of the pockets and cut a arm hole facing! but i love it i really do.....

Jam side down!!!

This is the second time this week that i have dropped my toast jam side down, in the morning whilst making my tea...Very annyoying!!!

Here is what ive been up to. Garments almost done and have go ahead for fashion show. This one needs some colour and the lining is in the process of being printed. Looks quite cool with sleeves...needs a good iron tho!!!!

The other is adding some colour. Dont think the red suits but definetly the green! I do love that moss pigment!

more pattern work

This hopefully will form the lining for garment 2, this will provide a nice contrast to the monochrome pattern of the rest of the garment. There is also the hood of garment 3 there too!!Will get all printed tomorrow hopefully......

Pattern for linings

Pattern development for the lining of the sleeves garment 2!

crazy v-neck poncho!

This is the printing of my thrid garment. Its almost done, front completed, just a bit of foil to do on monday. The back has a few more bits to do. but im pleased with how they look. !!! Might look into some metal studs.....could be interesting!

more work

these are from the first sleeve of garment one and printed a while ago, one actually have a corner to finish and then heat press all, but they loook good tho..... printed on the twill which is lovely after washing..

Final Garment Printing!!!

Its been a few days since my last post but here's wot ive been up to. Its mainly printing but its been productive and im pleased with how it looks. Will  need to work on pattern development for sample work, and make up the garments too.....

Blanket/Degree show Catalogue

Just finished edges for the blanket photographs. Will just need to blanket stitch the edges before wednesday!

Power cut!!!!

We had a major power cut last night so couldnt put this post up. So have finished the socks for garment 1! They look cool and hopefully with the boots will look even better, they are too big for me!!!!!

Pattern development

Just been drawing for garment number 3, i love developing pattern this way as it build up quickly and is an exciting to look at.

1 of 6 Socks

This is just a photograph of one of the socks that will go alongside my poncho/jumpers for the fashion show. I got lovely aran wool is three or so colours and dyes some lime green too.

They are so quick to do and had no trouble with the turning of the heel etc, just got to finish this on off. Will post a picture of the final pair when done, tomorrow night!! Ive been knitting whilst watching Lost season 5, it gets me a little distracted though as its so gripping!!

New Stuff!!!

This is me commiting to doing a new post every night this week, this will hopefully track my progress for this easter week!!!! and help me see what needs to be developed etc.

On my birthday, last week i was in college printing the blanket, this will be photographed for the dregree show catalogue. Im quite excited about it as its got lots of cool bits in it which hopefully i can develop into further prints. There are a few pictures of it as i like how it looks in stages!!

This also is an important piece. This was based on an image from a russian constructivism book. I love how all the different pattern sit together!!

My first post!!

Thought id put up a picture of one of my first finished samples. I am really happy with this sample as it printed well and more can come from it.
