YummiMummi

Here are a couple of shots of my Southern Cross Packaging brief. I chose the Between Meal Snack packaging. My sister is pregnant so I wanted to create a snack food that pregnant women could indulge on during the day that gave them that burst of energy while still being healthy for them and their baby. YummiMummi comes in three flavours; Sweet, Savoury, and Special Diet Vegan. The package if sectioned into two separate areas (like a multi-flavoured dip packet.) One section will hold the dried fruit / nuts, the other will house a delicious cake of some sort :)

Love, Love, Love

Now I'm a liiiitle bit of a pattern geek! I stumbled across these two designs when looking up "things that inspire me" and you guessed it! Patterns and fabric design was on that list :)

I Love the butterfly pattern on the front pillow. It's so feminine and classy but doesn't have that cold edge many black and white patterns do; it's natural but structured. I'm really into patterns that include leaves, trees, birds and animals at the moment. When the uni holidays commence I am going to play around with some yardage designs of Jungle Animals. My sister is pregnant and I think it would be so special to make my own pattern for her little baby!

This chair is gorgeous! May I steal it? I don't mind if I go to jail...but as long as I get to take this chair with me. Love the traditional pattern, the colour, the chair details. It's so beautiful. This makes me want to buy a dresser and a pretty jewellery box.

Ah sleepies now ZzZzZ

P.s I am getting a little worried about folio :/

P.P.s Have a look at: Atlanta Barlett (http://www.atlantabartlett.com/portfolio/)

Is annotating..

I am going through my journals an annotating some of my missed sketches.

10 days, 12 hours, 22 minutes, 28 seconds until Folio due!! eek!

Mixing things up a bit

I've been really busy with my folio preparation lately, but with all my hard work I do like to balance it with a bit of fun! 

My fun includes:

* Going to the movies with friends

* Pouring my money into the toy claw machines

* and you Guessed It! WINNING toys from the claw machines (Not just 1, 2 toys!!)

Long time no see!

I feel a little bad.. I have neglected this blog for quite some time.

It probably has something to do with the fact I haven't sewn or been to any craft markets lately. So I've decided this blog is not only going to feature my craft pieces/ideas but also my Graphic Design work and random babble...

Quite a lot has happened since my last post.

- I am now 21

- I am in my 3rd (and final) year of study

- I am only weeks (2 to be precise) away from my Semester 1 folio

- I am looking forward to finishing my course and working for a studio or freelancing

- I want to travel (UK, Scandinavia. I <3>

- Oh and I updated my blog banner and colour scheme ;)

I find my inspiration comes from a lot of different things these days, they have always been motivating factors of my personality and work but as things are always moving and changing; my tastes always shift too...

I look forward to posting here again as I often experience blog envy

I like...

I like my purple beanie.

It keeps me warm in the chill of Winter.

It was given to me by my beautiful and kind boyfriend.

People to say it looks like a Teapot cosie... I am a little teapot...

Ceramics :)

I've had my second class of Ceramics for the semester, and as predicted I am not the most talented Ceramics student! haha

The project I am working on at the moment is Project 1: Masks

We are to create a set of three masks that can be used as a wall mounted piece.
Due to my absolute LOVE of Venitian Masquerade Carnivals I am going to make Venitian masks based on the short story The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe
(http://www.online-literature.com/poe/36/)

Plans so far consist of three masks, one dedicated to the character of the Red Death and two dedicated to the character of Prince Prospero. The two on Prince Prospero have been greatly inspired by the Greek tragedy happy/sad masks.

The "Happy" mask will represent Prince Prospero during his marvelous Masquerade Ball.
The "Sad" mask will represent Prince Prospero after the Red Death make his presence felt at Prince Prospero's party..

"Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all"
