Sorry for the lack

of my own work right now. It's been both slow going, as I'm getting tripped up in ever sort of documentation and writing and crap possible. So little actual new work is getting done, which has been really getting me down, honestly. I feel like my inertia from last semester is pretty much gone. But to keep the posting alive, here's some pictures from my "close up" assignment for portfolio documentation.



Close-up of the neckpiece, I'm actually pretty proud of this picture!

Leather feather leggings.


Lirienne's wing vest inside/outside

Just for fun, my jar of tiny t-shirt triangles from my (now rather long-abandoned) t-shirt quilt

More Later, but for Now

...Take a look at the new Flickr that I set up for my Portfolio Documentation class. I'm still working on it, but it'll be a handy reference for all my photography of work.

Documentations

Sorry for posting a lot of the same piece, but I've been in documentation mode lately. Still working on some other things, but mostly right now it's all about making sure I've got this outfit documented properly.

Big thanks to Ken Yanoviak for taking our postcard/catalog shots. He also took portraits that I'll probably get next week.

My proof for the catalog.


Post card proof. When I get them, anyone that wants one, send me your address, I get 500 (!) so I have plenty to spare. Forever.

And the thing I'm really excited about (or, at least, the beginning of it!)

Later I'm going to streamline these into one movie, but for now, here's a preview! Many thanks to Sidney for putting up with the heat and long photoshop.

not that much to update on

Still trudging away at bigger projects, but between the field trip this week, working on the senior show website, and finishing my 12" by 12" piece, not that much progress was made.

The 12" by 12", finished except for the wooden 'neck' that it'll eventually sit on. After losing the original 'tie' for it (which you can see unfinished in a few other pictures) I was forced to madly complete this one, which is a crochet mesh (the basis for filet crochet)It looks okay, but I'm not used to crochet, and my wrist is still hurting me.


Continuing with the quilted cape.


The class had a workshop on indigo batik, and I'm in charge of making up the samples into a quilt to be raffled off. Now if only people would get the rest of the fabric to me!



Picked up this rather mangy fur coat of unknown animal, I'm slowly taking it apart, but I have to be very carefully, the leather is very brittle.

The inside was a mess of basting stitches and dust.

Some of the chunks as I take them apart.
