Working on stuff

I am currently still working on the spinning that is pictured in the previous post. I am working on spinning the second spindle full so that I can ply the yarn! I can't wait till it's all done.

I was trying to photograph a yarn I just recently plied this morning, but the color wasn't coming out right. When I get a good photo that will be going up here.

I am doing costume design for a student film. I am really excited! I don't really have the time or budget to make things, so I will be buying from thrift stores and customizing things. It's going to be great fun because the piece is a post apocalyptic world and so I will be putting lots of holes in things and then "mending" them. Also I may make a pair of wrist warmers with a thumb hole. And possibly a hat. I think I would really enjoy doing more work like this. I think I'm going to scan my quick illustrations into the computer and re-draw them with illustrator and bring them to life with photo shop. I may even be able to add this work to my portfolio. I must think of a way to work it in there. . . .

I start my internship with Vex Clothing on Monday the 30th of March. I'm very excited about that. I will be learning how to make custom patterns there. I can't wait till I can make a pattern for anyone! that will be awesome.

I have an idea for an awesome skirt/dress. I'm not sure which one it wants to be yet. But it will be patchwork-y and have lots of mismatched fabric to make a fll skirt, probably with some messy on purpose seams, and then I'm going to do embroidery on it, and maybe even do some crochet work. I want to do a pocket too, and embroider around the pocket opening. I need to do some sketches first before I decide how exactly to make it look.

I think for now that is really all that is going on. Still working on re-opening of etsy shop. That may not happen as soon as I'd like. I've gone all ADD.

Next post will have pictures, I swear!
