The Crush is Over...

Ebay has simply broken my heart. Our short lived relationship is over. It just plays with my emotions.

As you can probably gather, i didnt get any of the camera's and im quite bitter about it.

Never mind, i did manage to get these gorgeous little film tins for £1 so thats made me feel slightly better...

Ok, so i have a new crush...

Old camera's. After visiting a car boot sale today (and almost buying a rubbish little camera) i came home and went straight on e-bay.

I found some adorable ones and now im conductiong some serious research in photography and sourcing old films, as my one regret in my life so far is not learning photography. So im going to teach myself.

Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated :)

Whilst committing some google stalking, i came across these amazing chairs, made by one of my course leaders.
They're knitted out of carrier bags from a well known supermarket chain (looks like tesco to me) and she created them, simply because she was bored of the old chairs.
Being a bit of a knit maniac myself, i thought these were pretty cool.

First of all..

I must sincerely apologise for my lack of posts recently.

Second, i found my camera lead!

And third, i have some photos to share.

Last Wednesday, i returned to college and watched the annual Fashion show. Being at college for 2 years, i myself was in the show twice and had so much fun!

The course itself is titled Textiles and Fashion, but it is mostly based around learning textile processes, so the show is extremely 'arty'. However, there was no doubt, it was still brilliant.

Missing...

One small black camera lead.

Well, im sorry to say i have misplaced my camera cable so i cannot share with the fantastic photos i took today.
But i shall be on the hunt for it so that i can share the fun with you. Because, trust me, these photos are fun!
I'll keep you updated!

Final Project- Exhibition

Well the busy spider has finally finished her web.

I was really pleased with how it all looked together, a little sparse compared to some others but that was the look i wanted & i was advised to keep it that way.

So, here it is... 5 (ish) weeks worth of work.

Well, thats it. First year over. Mixed emotions as i can no longer use the excuse of "im only a first year."

But im sure i'll plenty to share with you over summer months..

Sneak Peak

After the Degree show, we've been lucky enough to be allowed to exhibit our final work in their space on Thursday.

So here's a little sneaky peak at the main attraction, just to keep you waiting...

(There'll be more photo's when it's all done and up in the space)

Degree Show

Last night i went to the private view of the Bath Spa Degree show. Over two campuses, there was Fine Art, Graphics, Textiles and Fashion (BA and MA) and Creative Arts. The talent was amazing and truly inspiring.

Of course my first port of call was the Fashion and Textile department. The work ranged from stuffed animals to transparent hanging installations to magical wardrobes. I have the say the MA work was stunning.

Here's some of my favourite photo's...

This was my favourite, by a long shot. im not sure why but i was completely drawn in by it and just wanted to look at it forever.

we heart it♥

A few weeks ago, a friend introduced me to a beautiful website. The entire mood and feel of the site just completely encaptures me. Its a safe bet that you'll find some photography that you like.

GFW

Well, i can officially say my Graduate Fashion Week virginity has been firmly taken. Words cannot even describe how much fun i had. So im not going to waste them...

Here are some of my favourite photos, from the Bath show (obviously), because they did amazingly well!

Overall, it was a day filled with v.i.p. seats accompanied by Paul Smith gift bags, seeing the lovely Erin O'connor, being complimented on my outfit and a photo of me being posted on another blog (of which i am yet to find!), watching tinie tempa (then being crushed by his large following), seeing Susie from the amazing 'Style Bubble' and of course looking at the most beautiful garments from the creme-de-la-creme of up-coming fashion talent.

And just one last thing to finish, the gorgeous blonde fellow (second from the left) saved the show, seeing as one highly professional male model decided to back out.

Well done Nick on his GFW debut.
