Creative form

Hi all!! 

It's so good to be a TEKO student again. We finally started some creative stuff here ar BA-TOP UP!
The project is called "creative form" and it's based on creating garment inspired by the chosen sculpture.
The first day we were introduced into the aim and general idea of the project, as well as to the samples and workshops. We started from creating swatches of various fabric/plastic/paper installation ideas, I mean, we were using those three things to develop a nice structure on a square thick paper.
It was a challenge for me haha :)

Those here are my samples, I am quite dissapointed with what I did with plastic, people did fantastic things!

And then, YAAAAY , we had to transfer our swatches on mannequin, and create a sculpture out of chosen eithe paper,fabric or  plastic, it was also possible to mix things together. I chose fabric, and started with no idea as the teacher asked not to plan and just LET IT GO, let it develop, let it grow. Sooo, well, I think my idea is like woven spaghetti, and I really wish to finish it, put some more volume and tangle it even  more!

Now we have to find pictures which will show the image of the chosen sculpture.

My sculpture is made by a polish, still living ( 94 years old ) artist, Magdalena Abakanowicz.

I chose her piece "Turqouise Abakan" because.. it's simply amazing!! 

I have a lot of key words of things I see here, we were doing a lot of investigations and teacher gave us feedback whether our sculpture is good for this project or not. 

My keywords for this sculpture are:

• connection
• mother nature
• earth
• human body
• veins
• symbiosis
• misty, old forest
• two bats hanging together
• electricity 
• jungle
• thunders
• wires
• organs

So I searched all the Internets and found interesting pictures, I will just show you few of them as my folder indicates the number of 50

Hopefully tommorow we will start sketching! :) 

AUGUST

Hey, guess what!
It's august, and I am sitting there in my  room in Denmark, looking outside how the rain stops on  windows and... KNITTING GLOVES! Isn't that hilarious? But seriously, it's unbelievably cold here, it should be sunny, warm and pretty, not windy rainy and ugly!! I already caught a cold... Yeah, ear inflammation, antibiotics and stuff like that... Yessss... That's why I stayed home, I can go with sore throat but not with ear, I cannot stand the pain!
Anyways, I am enjoying my time, fashion research will not do just itself, but yeah, gloves are so far much more involving ;)

aaand I even made the pattern  myself ;)

DENMARK IGEN

Lets go back to June 2013.

I was packing my stuff, selling what I could, and saying goodbye to every possible living and non living creature. There was no chance that I would come back. My head was full of thousand thoughts but definetely not a one about coming back here was there. And then, I applied to the BA degree, and then I got the interview, and then.. I got addmited! That really was a surprise cause the portfolio I made was seriously crappy ( in my opinion )...

And now,  lectures already started and through various project about networking and power of will I met  a lot of new people, at least 4 of them looked at me with this 'WOOOOOW' look which I totally don't understand saying YOU MUST BE REALLY GREAT! and me says : aeee what? why? BECAUSE not so many people get that opportunity !

I still believe that judges made a mistake. Fatal mistake. But, I am super happy that I am back here. I got my life back!

Keep your fingers all crossed for me!!

BUDAPEST'14

In June, me and my dad, decided to make a trip to Budapest. I was  not much concerned, I thought this city is not worth a visit.

Oh my god.

I couldnt be more wrong!!

I liked everything, to begin with giant old bridges, architecture, funny language, even funnier money, atmosphere, metro, food and culture!
AAAh... and my favourite... warm thermal bathssss :))


Big yes for Budapest and Hungary!!

This soup here is the best tomato soup I ever ate!!
