PHOTO DIARY - JAN/FEB'13

I spent the weekend back in my hometown for my friend's birthday. It meant I got to spend some time with my beautiful cats! I also got my project's final line up sketched and took a very pouty picture in my home bedroom!

My housemates and I had all our uni friends over to our student house for some drinks before heading to Whiskey Mist in London for Fiona's (housemate) birthday! I wore a black leotard and black disco pants both from American Apparel with a neon yellow clutch from River Island.

We've had lots of snow here over the past couple of months which ruined a lot of my plans but looked stunning on our student house and covered the dirt on my car! Thought I would show you some examples of how Starbucks get my name wrong! 'Anabil' and 'Anna'....

Starbucks eventually got my name right!!! A picture I draw in my life drawing class of my friend Bianca, experimenting with shadow rather than outline. My cat, Tabby, when I popped home to see my Mum. It was my boyfriend's 21st birthday! This is us outside the limo his parents hired to take us all into London! I'm wearing my Bershka coat, Topshop jeans, a peplum top from boohoo.com and some cut out boot heels from River Island. Black box bag by L.Credi.

Hope you have had a good couple of months!

LIFE DRAWING WORKSHOP

Last Friday we had an illustration tutor from London College of Fashion come to uni and hold a life drawing workshop for our Fashion course. We have these every so often to help free up our hand and improve our drawing skills. We experimented with charcoal, pastels, markers, pencils and watercolours. The models wore various layers so that we could try drawing the different textures. The tutor seemed particularly impressed with my watercolour images.

 My favourite piece.

Hope you like them!

My 'Transformed' Neck Piece...

The pictures above are of a neck piece that I made the other week for my current project on my Art Foundation course. The project is called 'transformed fabrics' and we had to reconstruct new fabrics from old clothes. This neck piece was created from a jumper. I cut it up into strips and then twisted the strips into little sections and then waxed them all together. Hope you like it!
