If you're wondering, I did finish the pants for my husband and he's worn them to work almost every day since.
I've been doing heaps of stuff since going back to art school this term. I've got a bunch of photos to upload but here's a few of my favourites from the "drawing with light" class exercise.
Take a dark room, fairy lights and a bunch of enthusiastic amateur photographers and this is what you get:
Clearly I'm not a brilliant photographer, but that wasn't the purpose of the exercise.
This semester sees me once again pushed outside my little textiles and graphic design bubble. I've just completed my very first animation, it's not publicly viewable yet as I've just submitted it for assessment but I'll let it go live once I've got results. It's cute and silly and hopefully gets chosen for the public screening and the National Film and Sound Archives collection.
I've been learning about screen printing this semester. I never realised just how satisfying it is. Obviously the tedious part of cutting stencils isn't great, but the printing process is fun. Today we got to play with photo emulsion to create our screens. I love the sheer amount of detail I'll be able to get in to my images now. I used a cute little robot pattern I created in Illustrator and this is the test print:
Cute hey? I want to print a couple of lengths of fabric with them—probably white or bright yummy opaque colours on vibrant colours—then I'll make up some swaddling wraps and other baby things for my soon to be arriving nephew. I'm so pleased they worked!
And that's enough for now. I'll try to be better at posting. I'm really a bit useless at it!
