I have been meaning to resume blogging this semester, but seem to find time.  Tonight, I decided to just DO IT.  Plus I am running out of reasons to tell Yvonne I don't blog.

Anyways.  As most of you know, I have been spending all of my time working on my 8th semester collection... as well as another SPECIAL project that I will tell everyone about in another entry.

So, here it is.  The process.  Minus the result (which I will save for yes another entry)

muslins

first actual fabric sample (which turned out to not be the actual fabric)

cotton velvet blazer

cotton voile top (which is now spray painted)

trousers (which are in the fabric shown for the skirt above)

leather covered zipper pull (since my critic thought a "raw" zipper pull looks too "transformers?!"

blouse that goes with skirt

also, who do I talk to about getting a 2nd locker?

My best friend is in town from London, so today we braced the torrential downpour to enjoy lunch and the Daphne Guinness exhibit (3rd times the charm... RIGHT?!)

Today I channeled this look:

If I have learned anything from the wonderful people in my life this weekend it is that:
