i would be so good if i was always motivated

seriously.
like. i could be SO GOOD if i just had so much motivation. all. the. time.
but i guess that could be said of like... everyone. hmmmm.

so finally getting a move on for my summer assignment. few croquis here and there. but i really need to get down & research and put all the images together for my mood boards & everything else. BAH.
but i have knit a swatch. & i did buy some felting needles today (& broke one). & got a good start on sporadically felting my knit piece after interning.
must say. it's coming along. except it's really flaring up my sneezing with all the fluff & dust.........
but once i complete the swatch. should work for my fabric manipulation as well as for a fabric for my lost boys collection. :)
although i have to learn to cable knit........



.............did.. not.. think.. of.... that...

summer is not for play

the lost boys

i am in love with this concept&theme. seriously lucked out in picking this one out of the hat..

but i'm at a standstill as to where to take this idea in my design work.

i can go this route with this amazing photo by samuel bradley. (i'm not quite sure why i'm completely infatuated with this one. but there's something very spectacular about it, yes?) 

- slightly very sartorial but quirky

- the juxtaposition between man & nature/animals. the raw edges of it. the fur & all that.

- like sort of a proper boy who's gotten lost in the wild & in peter's adventures

orrr. i can go the militaristic, post-apocolyptic lost boy. 

- very savage you know?

- & there'd be a lot of resourceful, use-what-you-can-turn-it-into-something-else types of things going on.

on one hand i very much like the whimsical first direction... but i think i can take the second concept a lot farther.

sigh.

& this is only the first of three potential collections i must do. 

just wish i had a bit more time to work these ideas out.

off to contribute something to society now!

cheers
