The Happy 3D Russian Doll

As Mad As A Hatter

It's Elective week!
And i have chosen to do millinery.
We have 4 days to produce a moodboard, designs and a final piece.
So far we are on day 2, and i am thoroughly enjoying it.
My mum also keeps reminding me of how i made a bowler hat for my barbie doll when i was young and how she knew i would enjoy it.
But anyway, I am currently waiting for my hat to cool, and i will just have to finish it off tomorrow, then all is finished.
My theme for my hat has been taken from our current project.
Old Wisdom - Superstitions - Blackbirds.
I have looked into bird skulls for shape, and created my hat around this.
I will post up pictures of my hat waiting to cool and the finished outcome.
Here is a photo of a ring by Alexander McQueen that inspired me.

Here is my own ring, a cheaper and much smaller version from Urban Outfitters . . .

Maybe one day I'll upgrade.

Illustration #5

Miranda kerr v G Verity

Created by using cut out's of models heads, and creating the body and outfit to go with.
This was based on a favourite outfit of mine. One of my favourite illustrations. Including my favourite model.. well . her head that is.

Cinematic #2

I found these pictures whilst searching into our trend theme.




I had a think of what cinematic would be over in the uk.
As the main idea of cinematic is 'Palm springs'.
It involves alot of sun and beaches.
And had an idea of looking into the british seaside.
Then i found some old photos of my dad and his brother at the seaside when he was little.
