Child's Vest

On one hand, I am very glad that the holiday madness has ended. On the other hand, I'm not too excited to return to work. In the past few weeks, I've made and wrapped many presents. I'm especially proud of this vest for my nephew. He is currently four years old and loves to play in the snow!

Final Print Collection!

In the final stretch of my print class, we had to design a collection of prints: 2 main prints with 3 coordinates that matched. The 2 main patterns were supposed to be different in aesthetic, motif, and structure and this is what I came up with.





















Sea Exploration and Air Exploration.






















My inspirations for this project came from the writings of Jules Verne. The idea was to make imagery that alluded to what people predicted could be possible for the future during the turn of the victorian era: flying machines and underwater exploration. When I was very little, I always thought I'd be wearing silver spacesuits and driving a hover car. We'll see if those things ever happen.
