Blog layout - its getting an update if I can just choose!

Yep, this layout is going and on its way out -  teal and blue are gonna be changed to more suitable colours.

This layout was a good start for me blogging but it needs an update. I never even came back to really made a header image for this layout yet. Though I have tried from both this blog and the Facebook page. I haven't like anything I've developed, I'm afraid.

I need to update my profile information page and a portfolio page of my work. I might also create tabs for different projects of large work - as examples to what I have made and focused on other the years.

This will most likely be featuring uni work, rather than my little home projects, as these are small projects so far. Despite wanting to do more impressive projects at home I've had little time to really make anything large scale or detailed except for drawings and illustrations.

When I've selected the new layout I'll be comparing the two - new and old, and hoping you guys like the change.

G.O: Tomorrow

Getting. On : Tomorrow :


Well it's not the most exciting news, however tomorrow I will be re-opening my etsy shop, as I now have internet and new products to post. I did a lot of posts a the end of last week as I have had trouble with no internet and also with writing a post.

I am planning some photo-shoot posts, some trend reports and los more product previews. Another idea is a list idea of posting themed lists of 5, 10 or 20 etc. I hope o keep you busy.

G.O: Quirky and waiting on wonderland

 

Here is some more of my photography as yet another preview (no repeats) . Again I won't be increasing size until I can properly watermark them. The theme is waiting, so I've combined the cute above, but I've also combined the ideas of queues being left behind and waiting for something to happen.

 

And below after waiting for the cracks to show - a relationship coming to the end, and it looks like it won't end well. The last post showed a different view and here there are two very different angles, I prefer the 1st view, it looks less like a modelling clay film.

G.O : The market

Well I had a market stall, with my sister's help it went ok. I was almost out of pocket, making only £35, with mixed weather and a broken suitcase - it lost a wheel, somehow, unfortunately I was using it to transport everything, from bracelets, table cloth, key rings, second hand clothing and so on.

I took my sister because she's good at designs, and was a great help with the layouts of products especially since I had a very collective set of items. She was not great at pricing, using very low values on most things, despite the time I had spent on them. Going for £0.50 to £3 on almost everything that wasn't hers. Pricing is hard, but it was hard to agree on good prices.

I have learnt a lot about layout, style and how hard it is to prepare, as well as what sells.

I will be posting the items on my etsy shop, and though I plan on doing a stall next year, only without such a collective set of products, from handmade and second hand to only handmade items.

Project 2

Again from company this project is to decorate ad customise shoes:

I would like to decorate my own shoes like this, but the would have to be a fairly plain shoe, that I felt needed jazzing up.

However like any other girl I buy what I like. Though I might not always make use of it, a habit I am stopping now rather than later.

The idea of reuse and recycling is very attractive to me at the moment having just emptying old and broken jewellery to be re-purposed.

I think the most likely time to make use of this project will be Halloween and any other upcoming fancy dress parties and events. Unless you want a one off item.

Gold and black is a definite winner. but I love purple if I found some wonderful shoes in a beautiful purple maybe purple velvet - with deep blue decorations could make some very unique shoes.

Tell me if you've tried this, Id love to hear the results.

Project 2

3 week easter!

Well I am at my boyfriends for two weeks out of three I have off, from University. Despite teachers saying the would not set me work I've got it, but its something interesting and worth doing. I've got to draw a collection, I have chosen jewelry because it is easy to transport and  have a lot of variety and some from over 6 years ago, despite only being 19 years old.
I have limited materials but plently of styles of drawing  and things to focus on.

I also  have some good projects from Company magazine to share. From capes to cutomising or items from scratch.


Now seeing as its just so cold here in England, I am lent towards posting this simple cape project:

I do fancy aking one myself, but the fact so few people - if any- wear a cape today. It is not something I want to wear to stand out.

But I would like to sell my own made capes, with customised details (if u have any ideas, please share). But I know unless there is a trend for them they won't sell.


I would be curious what I would make for myself.


Is this something you are interested in?
Should I keep on posting these articles?
If you have a try at any of these projects I'd love to hear what you think of them?

3 week easter!

Its been a week

..................... Well its been a little while and what have I done. Alot but not at the same, I havent done anything to my etsy and forgot to pay my rent (not good), failed to enter a competition my teacher wanted the whole 3 years of students to enter ( - as a result I couldn't get there attention for long enough to complete everything, I now have info to enter next year though), did a lot of printing and dying fabric, and I've found someone interested in my CV! I might be getting a placement.
This is really exciting I can't wait to see what I could do and see what I can really offer someone who works in the industry.

As I'm helping to organise a Youth market within a year, I have to write an article for pubilicity, something that as a result of the local maazine not getting in touch, I have very little tie, deadline wise. I am not happy with them and could have had 5 days more to do it! I thought being a magazine emails wold be checked daily. But now its down to me, wish me luck I'm gonna try to finish it today.

In relation to this blog I have prepared a few items to post, projects, and have failed to photogrph my daily clothes selection, even though I went out the other day. I also have no where to photograph these photographs either, no where nice in my home or close by. I best get thinking really.

I really didn't realise it had been a week, but I guess its quite easy to do since Ive stayed back a lot this week.

Its gonna get difficult since I have facebook, etsy blogger and now want twitter something I have never used before.
