GCSE textiles final product. Made from muslin and newspaper, due to the fact that it had to be created out of recycled materials. Now I just have to await the result...

Urban Life

So this is the criteria that we're given, and I'm thinking, urban life? Graffiti? Skyscrapers? The City? New York? Banksy? ...all of this. How hard was it going to be? Turns out very. Having to look at artists and do study's and then having to base a final piece around an artist. That's not original at all! So by 'urban life', I chose fashion and bridges. A strange combination but it worked pretty well. I'll post the final one up sometime soon.

It's been a while

My Art Exam has taken over a bit recently, and while researching 'Urban Life' I found this picture and I love it. No time to say anything else! I just love how you can get so much depth in simply black and white.

How quickly a year goes...

A year ago today, I was on the 26 hour flight to New Zealand...how quickly a year goes.

Andrew Miksys

I recently discovered photographer Andrew Miksys, and I love his collection of photos 'BUSES'. He's also done three more collections: 'Baxt', 'Bingo' and 'Disco'. I would really suggest taking a look. He's a photographer that has a different view on life, and the pictures are from a really new angle - love them.

The Row

 

 When browsing through net-a-porter, I discovered a collection called 'The Row'. It features mainly one coloured, simplistic pieces; items to be worn again and again.
"Launched in 2007, this hip ready-to-wear and accessories brand is the brainchild of A-list style icons Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. Named after London's historic Savile Row, the label delivers a directional take on traditional tailoring with a focus on clean lines and refined cuts. Expect a downtown-cool mix of leather micro minis, fluid ankle-skimming pants and maxi shirt dresses."

Carine Gilson bra - absolutely beautiful, and unbelievably intricate...  a mimic of the blossom I posted up earlier.
