almost there!

Almost through second semester!  Well, about half way!  So last week in fashion we worked on our knit dresses.  We had so many options for the dress so we could really make it our own.  I chose a navy blue fabric and put a hot pink and metal zipper down the back.  It's not exactly fitted, but it's still one of the first assignments where I got to make my own decisions.

In Visual Thinking we started another project where we got to choose a musician and design a fall layered look for them.  We are really working on improving our fabric drawing skills to make them more realistic looking.  You would never imagine how quickly you can draw a pair of pants that pops out of the page!

Also, the weather here is finally not snowy and gray!  There is sunshine!  After being in dark weather for the past few months it's really nice to be able to see the sky!  In 40 degree weather we can walk around without a coat! Well, at least being from Cleveland I'm loving the weather.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Finished project!


Finally finished my Visual Thinking project inspired by Romare Bearden!  Here are some images, but it's my first project, so don't be too harsh!

I had so much fun working on this.  Too bad class had to be canceled because of the snow!
Ends up that I didn't get to go to fashion design last week either, I got sick.  It's really hard missing class, I don't recommend it!  Good news is my professor was really willing to help me with what I missed and I am already caught up.  Sorry that I have no real fashion updates, I promise to have more next week when I actually get to go to class!
