Cambodian Artwork

So on Monday my sewing project was due in at school, and today me and my friend who also does this subject presented our garments in Assembly!!

My design is inspired by the impact of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia during the 1970's, and their slow progress and regrowth since then.

Now these are a few shots from my friends' garment!

And here's a few shots of my project when worn!

I have included my design development drawings because I spent a long time on them and feel they need some recognition too! The drawings aren't totally honest, but they show a fair depiction of the general progression of ideas leading up to my final design.

Weasley Jumper Ornaments!

 

This brings back memories from a long time ago when I made these Christmas decorations for a number of my family members! Back then I'd never even heard of double-pointed needles and so I made up my own pattern just by looking at the pictures!

Luckily this time I had some more skill up my sleeves and I was able to follow the pattern fairly accurately.

The design was taken from Charmed Knits by Alison Hansel - a book all about Harry Potter knitting projects! Highly recommended for all true nerds.

I know it's not even nearly Christmas time, but I made these for some fellow-nerds for their birthdays in-between exams and watching the Olympic opening ceremony :)

It seems insane that I have any time at the moment to be doing anything creative. Then again, my major textiles project is due in, like, two weeks.......

Let's not dwell on these things!!
