Final Major project: Reading and Research Week

Cultural Mash project has been handed in , so now I have a week off to read and research books on my SOI (Statement of Intent) Bibliography list. In total I have 8 books to read so far I've been through 5 of 8.

Tomorrow is photocopying day and organising the information. My OCD of planning and making sure everything about my project is in order is becoming even more obvious, but it's my sickness that I unfortunately can't help and probably refuse to help.
Doing all the reading and research for this project is making me so excited about it and I know that it's the right project for me. It's going to be fabulous!!!

Cultural Mash Project: Final Piece












































































































I feel so proud of my final piece for my cultural mash project, I honestly didn't expect it to turn out so good. But when I saw it on my model Sakiko for the first time I actually had tears in my eyes. It was the perfect dress for the perfect model.
The dress was so soft and delicate so I really wanted to bring that element to the shoot, but of course I had to mix it up a little with a few quirky shots.

things aren't slowing down..

January was very busy for me and I was optimistic that February was going to be a bit more relaxing and stress free, but obviously I was very wrong. Two more major commitments got added to my mad list of commitments:
- Finishing current project
- Kick starting final major project
- Sew your own volunteering
- ? Its a secret. (more details soon but its going to be huge...I hope)
So yep things really aren't going to slow down at all....
