Vivienne Westwood

So i picked up my Vivienne Westwood book yesterday had a quick flick and fell head over heels in love with her again. I went off Viv for a while only because she started to go so boring and so mass produced and i loved it when people use to say whos Vivienne Westwood?? Now my brother knows her and if my brother knows who she is that means the mass market has it on with their nike tracksuit bottoms...

I lvoe Vivs old collections if i could get my hands on her knitwear ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Then it clicked Viv did exactly what i am doing...

Been melting plastic into PVC for the past 2 days.. its become more of an obsession that a chore its so fun and the effect is amazing...

After my tutorial i went home an collected loads of coloured plastic bags and took them in this morning and just created my patterns and got the colours right. My knitting was so dull because i couldnt get the correct colour yarns and my stitch i want to be more exciting and Izabel agreed with this when we spoke.

My drawings are very melted looking if that is even such a word. They look really smudged and swept accross the page giving them the same look as the plastic does when melted into materials.

Really enjoying it going to get some more techniques done over the next 2 days

la la la la laaa... frock me!

Testing 1 2 1 2

So i just opened my blog and its a bit like where do i start? I mean i could go on to write pointless rubbish that doesnt mean anything to me or you an i could just post all the albums on my laptop that are labelled inspirational photographs an other s**t. But i'll spare us both...

Its my 6th week of my degree at Chelsea studying textile design. Juts finished my knitting blocks which were eventful and frustrating but fun at the same time and im going into stitch tomorrow. Its been a pretty eventful 6 weeks from visiting Brixton which i will be writing about, to having my collection of commemerative royal mugs stolen from my locker which was really gutting and upsetting, ive been ill, ive been to hospital so yeah pretty eventful 6 weeks!!!

Ive started collecting more mugs but i had some really rare mugs in that collection that i doubt i will find again especially ones my mum had given me that were my grandmas

Im goign to post a few blog posts today only because it looks so bare! I always follow Tavi Gevinson the style rookie and her blog is bustling with things. Not really a blog follower im sure i will start to become one now i have started my own. I did decide to write one for my FMP at Camberwell last year which can be found at http://welshiedoestextiles.blogspot.com/ not sure it will make sense unless you see my final project but yeah thats my old blog...
