My Final Pieces

These are my final pieces which I've just handed in for marking for my As Art Textiles course.

1. Swan Lake Tu-tu



The whole garment. Its made mostly out of clingfilm and bubble wrap which is an absolute bum to sew on and my machine now makes a noise like a steam train all of the time. But it was worth it. Its a bit smaller than life size because when I made the leotard it came out a bit too big in the clingfilm but then when you iron clingfilm it shrinks.
The main skirt arial view. yes. It is resting on my toilet. :')


The main leotard which is covered in white feathers.

This is the neckline which is trapped and melted wax crayons and bits of cut up foil. I love the reflections in this bit; Which coincidentally is the title of the unit. I looked at water and then went onto swan lake, and with a bit of history in ballet, created this piece which has lived on my wardrobe for about 2 months.

Oh My...

Okay guys. So 4months of nothing but tumbleweed...
and I'm Back!

These last four months have been a little bit hectic for me, as all my art textiles coursework was due in. But i did it guys! Which now means I have three beauts of projects to show you which if I'm honest I'm really proud of.

Im just popping out to do a bit of composition for my music now but woah your gonna love it when I get back. :)
