She is by far my favourite actress, mother, role model and star in the world. I can't quite gush about her enough. Her attitude towards stereotypes and what people think of her is amazing, setting an example to all young girls to do what they want to do rather than being told what to do. Do what makes you happy. Intelligent, quirky and funny. It also helps that she is beautiful too! <br />
<br />
My heart skipped a beat when I saw her on the cover of this months Vogue! Her porcelain skin and dark hair are to die for and she looks like such an English rose. Not looking like her age, she is every part of class and sophistication. Love the vintage style photo shoot, fascinator hats, dark brows and red lips! <br />

It has come around so quick & I don't feel like I've had time to think, with the photo shoots, videos happening etc. I am glad that is coming to an end as I don't think I can muster up anything more to give at the moment but I am also sad that it is ending and that is 4 years of my life gone and we'll be going our separate ways. I am excited for the next stage of my life though, something new to look forward to!<br />
<br />
Setting up the stand was a good experience, got to see the whole class's work coming together, laying it out in a way to invite people to come and have a look and to see everyone's hard work finished. Also to spy on the other uni's work and to see what they have been up to. As we include textiles on our course we had to cater for everyone's work to shine out against the other universities. I think by having textiles, it gives us a different edge even though it is GFW. Most of the time things can go either way, interiors, fashion so you can't rule anything out. Everyone's work looked amazing & you can tell people's personalities have come out in their work.<br />
<br />
We have kindly been sponsored by Offkut who gave us all of our furniture we've used. I really want some of their lights!<br />

It was exciting to see them being shot, to now see them on paper forever to keep! I am so proud of my work and the work Jason done. It really captures the look I was going for and I love my close ups of the details I have put into my embroidery.<br />

Great to see the final outcomes in a professional environment. Just have to wait for the final printed versions. It got suggested to me by <a href="http://www.jl-media.com/" target="_blank">Jason Little</a> the photographer, to use a green background rather than a grey or a white backdrop. I was a bit apprehensive as I did not know whether the green would blend in with some of my green garments. Knowing he knows more about it than I do, I trusted him and I'm so glad I did! I loved it! The green worked so well to make the whole collection and theme more grungier and moodier like I wanted it. <br />
<br />
The whole day was a success and I left feeling very proud and excited to see the finals. This has been what I've been working towards for since February and to see it all finished is a little over whelming. A special thanks to Jason, the hair & makeup specialists & Abbie Martin for being a great model!<br />

Really proud of the way they have been going. Can't wait to get them photographed & put into portfolio. I love the combination of print and embroidery to use different layers on my garments. Also the distressed look of how some of the prints have been coming out, not perfect, and this is what I wanted. <br />

I've been loving it though, great to see the collection coming together at last! 4 outfits finished for the video. The video was a great experience to work with a different department, learn how those types of things generally work and to see the collection two 3rds of the way finished, I left feeling a little proud. Even though I was the last person to go & it was an extremely long day it was worth it and everyone done their best. I loved the way the beading glittered underneath the studio lights, really sparkled and showed the designs well.<br />
<br />
Now on to do the final two...!<br />

I've really been getting into my embroidery which takes up all of my time! Which would be annoying for anyone else but I just love it! I love buying new beads and thinking of how I can use them.<br />

Having the garments ready made in front of me was something making me stuck and I couldn't think of how to change them because I wanted them to be wearable. I also didn't like the idea of garments being stuck together to make a new outfit, 3 waistcoats in one or patch worked together. I feel like that look is really drab, been done before millions of times and I didn't have that many items that would go. I believe it would have taken a long time to source items that go along together nicely (time I don't have) and as I'm being donated things, most of the stuff found is out of my control. I just didn't want to be unhappy with it and I was starting to get really unhappy. I don't know whether it was just me being picky but I just didn't like most of the outcomes where things where placed as patches and didn't have a purpose, they were just there. <br />
<br />
So I had a deep thinking time and decided on I'm not going to focus on whole outfits. I am just going to be looking at tops such as jumpers and shirts and berets. Using the garments as the canvas to apply the techniques I like on top rather than changing the shapes necessarily. Making a whole outfit was putting me off too. Things look lovely on their own but combined with another item could look too much. <br />
<br />
This aside I am feeling a lot happier. I get to focus on the applications I love the most - print and embroidery and I have just getting carried away with it. Typical when you've got hardly any time left! Time is going too fast! One day it's Monday, then it is suddenly Sunday!! <br />
<br />
Here are some snapshots of what I have been up to...<br />

I am so pleased with this picture taken by David Lam of my first outfit. I love how all the blues and blacks work well together and the burst of red from the lips and beret. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've decided as my theme is Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution, I am going to make my collection be about evolution through the life cycle of a person. Many of the items I looked at for shapes and textures were animals stuffed for taxidermy and placed inside glass boxes and jars. I thought even though these are really beautiful creatures, I still felt a bit sad that they are dead. And it got me thinking about how they are placed to be put on show forever in a glass case, imprisoned forever, even in death. The last outfit will be based upon this premise, and the first one will be about creation and birth and purity. The outfit pictured is outfit 3. Half way in the middle of the cycle, metamorphosing into a new creature (caterpillar into a butterfly). Everything about this outfit has a half and half feel, the dip dyeing, the gold on the mussels, transforming into something new. It is still quite pure but something is changing...</div>

The location of the fair was amazing, Colchester Castle and it was so busy it really got everyone in the mood to shop for some vintage! My role was helping with the organising where I helped design mood boards for the trends we would be showcasing in the fashion show - cute & kitsch, Spring/Summer 2013 monochrome and wedding/evening wear. I also helped with the dressing back stage of the fashion show. It was my first time doing this, it was extremely hectic and crazy! But it was also a lot of fun and I would do it again!<br />

These prints have been inspired by butterfly wing patterns and bird feathers. I have created these prints by simply drawing straight on to the fabric with dye and then adding bleach in places. I have also used wax on some samples so I could get random and unexpected lines and cracks. I really enjoyed doing this and found myself with quite a few samples as I thought of different way to create different effects and looks. Some times I wet the fabric before I placed the dye on to the fabric. This inspiration in techniques came from experimenting on paper first. I created some the paper samples in the same way as I have the fabric ones, by wetting the paper, painting the bleach onto the paper first etc. I really liked the random and unpredicted results that I received from both the paper and the fabric experiments which led me onto trying the prints on a larger piece of fabric. <br />
<br />
<br />
This led me on to my second outfit, draping on the stand and using foiled doilies to try and make garment shapes.<br />

For a while I felt like I wasn't making any progress but now I have a feel of the materials I have and the look I am going for I hope it will become easier and quicker. I also managed to embroider a beret before the photo shoot which I am really proud of as I love to embroider and considering last year I had never done the technique before. <br />

The embroidery on the beret was influenced by the shapes of feathers and the patterns on birds. I really like it as it connects all the aspects I have in my final major project; military, birds, embroidery, feminine, up cycling.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've recently come across a designer called<span style="font-size: small;"> <a href="http://www.sacresue.com/about" target="_blank">Susan Waller<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></a></span></span></span>on Pinterest and I just loved her work. Her inspiration came from light filtering through a weeping willow tree and collecting shells that had different lines and structures. I felt like her work connected to mine because the way she had applied gathers and pleats kind of reminded me of my skeletal images from my initial research. They were almost like rib cages and spines displayed on the body with draped fabrics. I love the way there are different strengths of pleats on the same outfit too sometimes, like some are really small and crisp whereas others are bold and slouchy. <br />

We have a vintage cupboard at uni and I have never looked in there before. I can't believe I haven't! It was full of beautiful things. I looked in the lace boxes and just loved the patterns, details and frailty of it all.<br />
I also looked at the details such as embroidery as this is something I want to include in my final major project. <br />

The differences in the lace and patterns are amazing and I liked the discolouring of the lace to show its age. I also like the details such as the layering of lace over other materials and embroidery with big bold stitches. </div>

Fiona Rose...I got the pleasure of looking at a previous students and now tutor's work that she created using old pieces of lace and clothing. This was really inspiring and gave me lots of ideas with what I could do, especially after being given all the lace pieces from <a href="http://jacquistannard.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/st-helena-hospice.html" target="_blank">St Helena Hospice</a>. Fiona's work is really high quality and you can tell a lot of love and attention was put into it. I love the way she has used the different shaped pieces of lace and crochet to create garment shapes and details. <br />

LaceI went back to visit St Helena Hospice this week and picked up a few more items to include in my project. Most of the things were like lace and doilies. I really like the old vintage look of the lace and the different shapes, sizes and patterns they come in. I am excited to use these in my designs. <br />

Shells...Thanks to my wonderful friend <a href="http://tonianneeveritt.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Toni Anne Everitt</a> who ate all the mussels so I could use the shells for my project. I knew I wanted to have them hanging from a neck piece, just didn't know how. After cooking the mussels for Toni's dinner, some of the lovely blues and purples on the outside that you find on the shells from the beach had turned a bit dull and brown. So I had a think and thought about spray painting them gold. I didn't want to get rid of the brown completely so decided on spray painting half of them gold so it looks like they have been dipped in gold. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I then experimented on the stand how I would apply the shells to the neck piece which I cut out from the bodice of the <a href="http://jacquistannard.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/st-helenas-hospice.html" target="_blank">wedding dress</a> </div>

Up-cycling...Another update to my up-cycling project! I have been dyeing and changing the shape on the wedding dress, using different parts for different sections. Also I have dyed the white shirt shown previously underneath the wedding dress and embellished it with washers that have been spray painted. I am really liking the processes I am using, thinking of different materials to include in my collection that you wouldn't generally think of. The shirt has ended up being really heavy but I like the weight it adds to the shirt. I am thinking about other things to do to this piece and might not be with this dress but the more items I have to play around with the better.<br />

REEM by Reem Alasadi<span style="font-size: large;">REEM by Reem Alasadi...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
As I am upcycling I have been researching into people who upcycle in the fashion industry. I want to move away from the Eco warriors that use patch work to stitch clothes together and look at something a bit more classy, elegant and conceptual. I have been looking at Reem which I found really interesting to see they are using similar materials to me. I like the way they layer their objects and use a-symmetrical shapes to build drama and structure.<br />

Maison Martin Margiela<span style="font-size: large;">Maison Martin Margiela, AW 13</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
I really like the details and texture on some of these garments in this collection. I like how they have the yarns and embroidery stretching from one side of the garment to the other, creating lines, layers and texture. I really like the messiness of the stitches that all look random and jumbled up. <br />

Wedding DressAfter dyeing my wedding dress, I then took the top bodice off and trimmed the skirt shorter as I felt this could make it look new, younger and more trendy. Everyone kept asking whether it was the same dress, it looks really different to what it first started off as, (which I am pleased about!) I still have other things to do to it but I really like the mixing two colours and the difference it has made from just making some simple alterations.<br />

I really like the look it achieved from the dip dyeing, it was unintentional all the different colours that came out in. I had used a black Dylon dye and it has bits of black, navy and brown which I really like! I am going to do other things to it but I really like the colours!</div>

Down House...I forgot to mention during the half term I went to visit <a href="http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/home-of-charles-darwin-down-house/" target="_blank">Down House</a> in Kent, where Charles Darwin used to live when he wasn't travelling the world! There were many artifacts on the species he had discovered or noted in his journals as well as the theories he had on evolution and natural selection.<br />
<br />
The house was beautiful in itself, I could have quite happily lived there too! And the garden's lovely, even though it was a cold day. As we were walking around a man who worked there told us a bit about the house and told us a funny story of when Darwin was staying there when he wasn't out voyaging, he would walk around the garden 3 times while thinking of his theories etc, and would place 3 stones on the path and take one away every time he passed. Sounds like a good idea! Except that his children would sneak up put the stones back when he had passed making his walk longer than what he had wanted. To be honest I probably would have done that too!<br />
<br />
My favourite bit of the house was just at the top of the stairs, there was a cabinet full of taxidermy birds, butterflies, dragonflies and other insects. The colours were beautiful, although because of it being so old, you had to look in with a torch to not damage the objects from constant lights being on them. Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures either of inside the house. <br />
<br />
The visit was very educational and I would highly recommend it! If you like history, science, animals etc or just want to learn something new.Jacquihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17983276712540808633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207192410392030283.post-56740032035528903822013-03-09T08:33:00.000-08:002013-04-16T05:27:52.706-07:00Out & About... Horniman Museum...<span style="font-size: large;">Horniman Museum...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
A little white ago for some primary research I visited the Horniman museum. It is kind of similar to the Natural History Museum where as it has stuffed animals etc. but I felt like this museum had a more grown up feel to it even though it was full of little children. I really liked the shapes and colours of the birds and butterflies which is what I have been looking at for my FMP. <br />

It is a shame to see clothes being thrown away with most of the time nothing is wrong with them, all you need is a bit of imagination to change it into something new! <br />
<br />
Luckily for me, I am helping St Helena Hospice with a project they are undertaking at the moment of upcycling and trying to encourage people to upcycle. I got the honour of visiting one of their offices last week to pick out some objects that I thought I could use. As I want to print, embroider and dye things I selected mainly light coloured things but they had selected lots of things for us to look at. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the pieces I chose:<br />
