Ummm.. What have I been up too?

Ummm.. What have I been up too? Well let me just tell you...

I have been crazy busy for the past month. Actually I have been busy since school has started! Our first project of the semester was our matching garment. I was very pleased with the pants that I created. I wanted to challenge myself with creating wide leg pleated pants.

February 17th and 18th I had an event for my African Student Organization. I had the opportunity to make and sell jewelry and clothes for the people who were attending. I was happy that some of the attendees bought liked my merchandise!

I am working hard on my competition garment for design class. My inspiration was surrealism and the artist Remidious Varo. He had an image of a peacock that i was really intrigued by. I also wanted to grasp the fantasy and sexuality of surrealism.

Lastly, I have just finished my backpack that I was creating for accessories class. I really enjoyed creating this item. On the base of the bag I did a coiling technique that I learned in fibers class semesters back.
