tried to look proud but you're not in the slightest. . .



Bombay bicycle club. this reminds me of happy summer, when there was no school, so exams, no rain. The guys whiny voice should be really annoying but I kinda like it. enjoy :)

safety pins yay!

I'm not gonna lie, I love safety pins. They can fix anything i swear, plus when i get bored of sewing i stick a few pins in and its all good.

anyways i made this today...



Its pretty self explanatory: elastic, safety pins and a few odd bobs from old jewellery, odd earings, buttons, a key, chain etc. its a good way to use up all them little bits you have lying around.



Christmas soon!!!!!

past predictions

This video from the 1930's predicts what the fashion of 2000 would be like. . .


The shocking thing is that they're not far off. doesnt that remind you of alexander wang spring 09 'mesh dress' ooo spooky...

What will we be wearing in 3000?

or maybe we'll mutate and wearing these will be the norm?










.


id love to find out somehow, fashion always has a way of repeating itself somehow, but its just hard to predict when.

EPIC

im a failure at blogging! Im gonna try and blog more regularly starting today :)

if you havent seen this where have you been??



pure perfection- the fashion, choreography, story, sure its weird as hell but i love it, it just draws you in and take you to gaga land. Talk about working the McQueen! those shoes are epic.

Also I did some googling and i found out the director is Francs Lawrence who also did gwen stefanis 'what you waiting for' which is another video that is very amzing in a cinematic way.

spooky times

I was crazy inspired by Nina Chakrabati's work see http://www.ninachakrabarti.com/ for more. I decided to give it my own go. . .



then i think all this halloween talk got me into drawing the skeltons. I love halloween!! sadly no party this year :( but might just be a total loser and get all excited anyway!
it gave me a heart attack last night seriously i can sit through all the saws, the ring. friday the 13th no problem but this was on a whole new level of scariness!!

O well one shall have to live through my old crappy computer.

Issey Miyake

For some art homework we had to research Issey Miyake and it really got me interested in his work- cause theres nothing better than a bit of good old research to get you inspired :)
He is known for his innovative use of materials, he infuses the traditions of japanise culture with new modern techniques. His inspired by fabrics and thinks about how the garment would move and fit on the person and designs according to this.


B-B-B-BONKERS





Went to a dizzee rascal gig the other night and it was AMAZING! we made it to the front at the cost of being bruised and battered it was worth it. We also made some pretty good t-shirts, it i may say so myself! Suprisingly easy to make just bought massive mens t-shirts from primark and worked a bit of magic with scissors and safety pins. Safety pins are actually amazing i swear they solve any problem haha

but it was not your fault but mine. . .

This is the best music I've heard in a loooong time.

dumbledore style craving

Dumbledore has some serious ring action! I want hands full of antique wizard rings- there is just something kinda interesting and mystical like each ring has a story. It's also gives you instant chic at any age no?
Made me think of other ring wearers. . .
