The long haul

I think I have two weeks left of school.
The 'real world' awaits.

Education

I took a class last weekend at 3rd Ward - screenprinting!
I had a great time.

Laah deedahdalaleedah.

Choosing to be a student again has been the best time of my life.



I feel very lucky. And when it's all over I hope I don't miss it too much.

Speaking of my brain, can't get this out of my head. It will just pop up out of nowhere and stick. sigh.

Indeed

It's been a long time.
And I apologize. I've just been a bit busy.



I think you all know me as not a daily blogger but hopefully you know me as a sincere and/or entertaining one. Thank you so far for tuning in... i promise to be back more on the regular, as long as there are people who are still interested.

Happy accident

I was cleaning up a croquis on illustrator and without meaning to got a much more interesting image out of it...

One

I made this jacket.
It's wool tweed with a cotton voile quilted interior.

Zig zag

My eyes are crossing! Pleats + stripes = wacky dreams at night..



I'm working on my final projects...

Choices

So many fabrics out there, so little time!



This is a snippet of me trying to choose fabrics for one of my final projects.

Another final project

Or at least a part of it.

These were sketches from when I was applying to school.

Mid-season Preview

Every year December graduates contend to be a part of a show called Mid-Season Preview. The picks are then displayed in a showroom all along with some cocktails.
It was good to see what my next year might entail.







This year for the first time Parsons decided to included illustrations from all years and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.



didn't catch a pic of my illustrations, i know. sorry.

Details

Hi!
I missed you guys.

Just a couple of things before I fully dive head first into the next 17 days of final projects.



making thanksgiving dinner with...lettuce?


desk clutter - off to the side, my first muslin for my draping final. i'll let you know what it looks like in the end...


Muji's umbrella stand makes a great pattern paper holder.

More shizz

My desk. someone please clean it for me.



ps. i did not design that outfit if you were wondering. merely a homework assignment for drawing class...

did you vote today? i hope so...

I'll school ya

i hope this isn't too presumptuous to post pictures of my school life. i figure you can always go on style.com if you want to see what the real deal is, but it's not so often you get to see the mess that is the first year student. ;)

First Day of School

A ton of money later, and my favorite school supplies so far are these Guerra Paints. This is the packet they put together for all students from my school, which includes all required items on my supply list.
how thoughtful!
