It has been over ten years since I last made clothing from a pattern....but I felt an urge. This could go so horribly wrong and lead to tears of rage and frustration. I do hope it leads to lots of lovely dresses though!
I have decided to do this 365 thing that I've seen being done at Afeitar (a pretty blog I like to read). You take a picture every day for a year and then you have a year captured in photographs. I think its a flickr thing, I'll look into that later, for now I'm doing it here for myself, starting from yesterday, my 25th birthday, rather than the start of the year. I'm going to capture my 25th year.
Emmie Joseph is exhibiting with Nissan during London Design Festival and would like to invite you along for another chance to see her decorate & illustrate using shadow as a transient form of print. Also, the work of 20 other designers across many disciplines under the theme of East meets West. Other designers include Alana Florence, Alessia Giardino, and Solenne Morigeaud.
23rd, 24th & 25th September - Doors open 2:00pm with guided studio tours commencing daily at 3:00pm and 5:00pm.
"Nissan Design Europe will open its doors and organise a series of tours of the facility where one can discover the automotive design process.
But that's not all: NDE will aim at celebrating the diversity of London's creative industries and become a creative hub hosting arts and design displays by various artists under the theme of 'East meets West: the crossroads of Creativity'."
I realise I've left posting this extremely late as the show is almost over...but if you want to see my final work and the work of 20 other textile futures designers, head to Central Saint Martins Southampton Row (nearest tube Holborn) today or tommorow between 12-8pm! Once inside follow signs heading to MA Design for Textile Futures.
Now I'm making linen blinds with shadow casters attached behind. Trying to sort out the sustainability of linen...so far I think it's pretty good...apart from the bleaching...but I want it white! Thinking thinking.
Some of my drawings...really quite happy with them! :) I used to hate my drawing...it's as if something has clicked!
