sketch [again]

Browsing trough my laptop old files
I found many forgotten fashion sketches
some scanned
some coloured
some just quickly sketched in photoshop.

Why oh why didn't I decide to go to fashion school...

cats

they make me
laugh
smile
and sometimes very mad.

but it's impossible to
resist those big cute
"i'm innocent"
eyes. :)

daily sketch: first of march twoten

this is the first in the series of daily scan illustrations.

i got the idea when i was browsing trough
my old sketchbooks.
they had so many great ideas and sketches
i had to share.

so i'll be scanning images
and share them online.

i'll also be doing my digital
[sketchfolio]
so i have access to these illustrations
in digital form anytime
if i want to colour them.

it's a shame to leave them just laying there
in boxes and
on the shelves.

teal

got this wonderfully coloured cotton
on sale.

it is dark teal
more blue than green.

i love it
esspecially cause it makes
a great contrast with our yellow couch
covered with red blanket.
makes great photos. :)

i intend to do ribbed lace bolero.

i did some sort of a swatch today
just to check it could be knit on 5mm needles

i think it would not be the most easy project to do
mostly because of the yarn,
it is made out of many spun tiny fibers
that just "unspin" when i get to purl stitches.

it's still the most beautiful colour
and i'll make it work :)

these are the sketches
for the daylook.

white and gray mixed with
red and orange sewn on stripes.
nice detail on the back
to see some skin
and a bow.

little jacket
with four buttons

and a scarf that is actually
two scarves
buttoned together with buttons.

more info on the contest.

contest: inspiration

there's a contest going on on deviantart.

contest about fashion design
and illustration.

since all of the contests have been fun so far
i decided to participate in this one too.
it is also a great idea boost,
since you can focus on things
that have been predetermined in a challenge description.

first challenge requires taking pictures
that will be a source of inspiration
for two designs: daywear of any kind
and a look of your choice.


find out more about the contest.

i better get those outfits designed. :)

mitts

when searching for a pattern
that would be
easy
fast knit
and would take less than 50g of yarn

and still be
cute
and functional

i came across this site.

these gloves are adorable.

i added white buttons
that were lying in my stash
for quite a while.

also needed a bit of colour
so orange it is!

they'll go perfectly
with my favourite gray coat.

knit

i've been knitting
a scarf for my boyfriend
these last few days.

just to get an excuse
for long breaks
during studying for my exam. :)

the pattern
can be found
here.


i've also been using
my sketchbook a lot
lately.
all these great ideas of
knitted pullovers
and cardigans
and tops
had to be sketched
and stored.

so i can make them someday. :)
