Creative form part 4

I've just came back from an extremely cold and super nice photoshoot I did for one of my classmate, Olga. I don't have the photos yet, but she agreed on showing them to you :)

Her model girl was amazing!! It was cold and rainy, and she was barefoot, she was doing all the poses, my camera loved her!! I can't wait to see the photoshop improoved pics!

You know whats the most ridiculous part?

I have no idea for my photoshoot.. and the deadline is TOMORROW... 

I just need one good picture..

This is the process.. all about yarn and weaving :)

My story for that project? Symbiosis!

Creative Form part 3

It's been a really exhausting day. 

But lets start from the beginning! 

You know about the moodboards, crazy collages...:)

It was finally the time to start SKETCHING. I am not going to show you my sketches, I am still not very proud of my quick illustrations :p 

Anyways,  I've started my sculpture. 

It's not a simple yarn, it's the special plastic I've been hunting all day, I made 20 km to get this yarn. :D It's still in process, not finished at all, I am not even in a half and I really am not sure if my scuplture is not too weird. I am afraid because I see a lot of people are doing some beautifull garments, and as I understood we are not supposed to make garments but sculptures... Oh well!

I am really happy I am back here. I received a new inner power to excersise, not only my body but brain as well, since I started to do workouts I really feel more focused on my goals..:) 

Tommorow I am going for new yarns for another sweater... Soo you'd better stay here ;) 

BOBBLE CROCHET

A lot of you guys got confused I see :)


So shortly, just to be clear...

THIS IS ME!!! ;)

( in my bubble knitwear, which is FOR SALE ) 

Creative form part 2

I finally understood the whole purpouse of the creative form project. Oh my god.
It's all about being CREATIVE! Which I realized totally suck at right now.
When I was a kid, I was bursting with creativity. I never wanted to be an adult, and it just happened... maturity has started to destroy the last nests of any imagination...

You know what also damages your creativity?
INTERNET, FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM !! those three mixed together are the most powerfull time eating mashine EVER. Yes, I got addicted. Going back home, scrolling facebook, being at school? scrolling instagram. Looking for the 30th pair of shoes. INSANE! And I cannot cut it off :(
I have a long distance relationship with my bf, so I need to constantly checking if he texted me.
Oh...

Anyways! I will show you how am I trying to go out of the box.
Not that easy, not that easy...

Collages are supposed to help me with obtaining new shapes. Teacher saidthat I am very much afraid of being crazy, and I said that she is super super right. Believe me, It's so hard to be crazy!

Finally, having all the collages,  I think we're gonna start sketching...

Knitwear

Hey!

Oh, it's sooo beautifull outside right now, You will not believe, I was riding a bike in a short sleeve t-shirt!
AMAZING FEELING :D still summer-ish!

Well, I would like to share my new personal project with you which I started like 2 weeks ago. It all begun with knitting gloves, and after I saw my friend doing knitwear assignment I thought wow, maybe I should also push myself do to something bigger? Ha! I have already made one sweater. It was blue and almost see through because of the pattern, and it has... bell sleeves :D! Super hippie! I was photographed in it in primary school when I won the first prize in the competition about writing a story connected with the city I lived in. Ha :D

So now, this is my second attempt as the other one was 10 years ago ( say what? am I that old? )
I found a fancy crochet pattern called raspberry knitt. I changed it a little... and instead of raspberries, I created BUBBLES!

What do you think? Apart from the fact that its big, super warm and nice next to skin? :)

Now I have a bag of ideas for new sweaters but yeah, not that big bag of money... :) 

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!

New illustration that I made for one of our projects

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!!
