WEEK 9 TUTE

WELL I'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT THIS WEEKS TASK IS..
BUT I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF PUT A PICTURE OF A PIECE OF ARTWORK THAT WE'VE DONE ON THERE.
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT CONSIDERING I'M NOT MUCH OF AN ARTIST.
+well the drawing part of art anyway - i can do it, but putting in plainly - theyre pretty shit.
ALTHOUGH - check out my sketchast drawings - are they pro or what?
SO... HAVING SAID THAT...
I DECIDED I'D PUT UP PHOTOS OF MY TEXTILES WORK.
AND IF THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.... WELL....
ITS GOING TO HAVE TO BE. :)

MY WORK
















nah but i can safely say i do get my textiles talents from my mum...
shes always been good at it.
she taught tafe for a while and was a dressmaker for ages.
so naturally i learnt how to do it...
and of course i got her help with some of my projects.

i couldnt really pick a favourite piece - i like them all because they are so different:
the first 3 were for year 10 - so they actually meant something. the other 2 werent AS important.
1. PATCHWORK CUSHION: its bright and colourful and different..
2. PHOTO QUILLOW: this was my Year 10 major work, its a quilt that folds up into a pillow - (easy transportation). but this blanket has photos of my friends all over it. really interesting concept. coat some material in this special solution... iron it to this freezer paper stuff and then print it, like from the computer... im still fascinated by it.
3. TEDDY BEAR: man these things are so hard to make - all fidgety and shit. when you make it you have to get the grain of the fur going in the right direction otherwise it doesnt work out - was pretty stressful.
4. RAINBOW ZEBRA: this one was quite simple to make, well in theory anyway - i cut out the shape of the zebra from the stencil, kindve just stitched them together and stuffed it with stuffing - see it seems quite simple in theory, but it was a bit harder than that.
+ this was the only one where i resorted to a stencil.
5. RAG DOLL: well mum did most of this one because it wasnt for school.
this thing has scared me so many times... the worst was one night after i'd watched the ring - and i woke up in the middle of the night and all i saw was the doll and long black hair.... i didnt sleep the rest of the night and if i thought i would sleep i kept my light on.

Of course i have done many more projects... but its kindve hard when i live in goldy and chances are they are back in nambucca at mums place... somewhere in that mess of a room.


MY FRIENDS YEAR 12 MAJOR ART WORK:



i know these probably look twisted... but i find them amazing
- really interesting...
they are the type of artwork which is open for interpretation...
