Easter has turned me into a geek.

I literally cannot stop playing.

OH YEAH

My carbon made is right up to date now, look HERE
Go on.

Jar of heaven makes really really pink cakes.

This stuff is literally heaven in a jar, yum
Even if the result of cooking with it is alarmingly pink...


I definitely enjoy cooking more than drawing. I'm going to become a chef.

I can't wait for tomorrow to be over...

Because tomorrow is the last hand in of second year (minus work placement presentations) and although I've really enjoyed this years work I'm looking forward to having some time off from it all. I say this now, give me a week and I won't be so pleased about having NOTHING to do. I'm so bored of this project now though and of looking at my final collection. But here it is:


Hopefully it will go down well tomorrow, I'm not so hopeful with Phil being there as well. Just wait for the HMMMMMMs to come.
Check out the designs properly here http://chloemorley.carbonmade.com/ which I'm going to update after tomorrow with past designs and stuff.
Wish me luck...

Two things:

1. I really NEED to stop going on ASOS menswear.
2. Ash Stymest needs to marry me.

Unproductive day

I've done nothing allll day and it feels goood. It's Sunday so definitely allowed.
I feel on track with work and have finished my outlines of illustrations and did all my technical flats so just have to come up with page layouts and colour my illustrations in and have a week and a half left, which is plenty of time. Oh and the book of doom. We have to make some kind of look book/mood/publication of some sort which relates to the brand and I'm fairly stuck with it. Thinking of doing it in the style of a Yearbook to relate to my highschool theme? Can't think of anything else so I should think that's the way I'll go.
SO, here are my finals, they all look a bit the same like this. I really need to colour them but having pretty big disasters with that as I'm using pastel colours and they print off really badly and they're impossible to get right with pencils and paint. Think I'm gonna buy some pantone pens and do them that way?


Ok, one of them has a MASSIVE head compared to the others! I think I may change that..
Phil wasn't keen, he just kept going 'hmmmmmmmmm' to everything I said about the collection, but Gary seemed fine with it. Phil is stupid.
In other news I have my work placement sorted out, which is a massive relief! I'm going to be working with Prilly Lewis (not to be confused with Philly, ha) and her label Prilly Wear, which specialises in knitwear and felting so should be pretty fun.
I have a week and a half left of this term and then I only have to be in one day in May and that's my second year over and done with, eep.

I hate Philly the willy.

Sneaky Peek

High school/American sports/prom/tuxedo prints/men in headbands/lots of shorts.
Pretty much the theme I'm going for with this one!
Really wanna do it in colour but spilled water ALLL over my fabrics last night and they're still really wet so may just be lazy and do not a lot.

OH

I am RUBBISH at updating (pt. 2)

SERIOUSLY RUBBISH.
Ah well I'm here now. Oh yeah, buy me these please:

If you do I will write your name on the dotted line I promise! They are so cute, I've not worn converse for years but recently have fancied some, maybe I'll get these when my loan kicks in? Or y'know... next week.
ANYWAY.
My clock is better than yours
Unless you have a real cuckoo clock, if you do I take it back and I am amazingly jealous of you! Although the pendulum thingy seems to have stopped working which is pretty annoying but I'm definitely blaming the uneven wall for that one.
Work wise I'm being so SO lazy at the moment, I can't really afford to cos this is the last design project of my 2nd year so I wanna make the most of it. Then it's on to doing work placement, I hopefully have that sorted out but not going to get too excited about it until after next Thursday.
I'm currently designing for Dsquared with an American high school kinda theme, but I'm getting worried that I'm basically just re-designing something they have already done? Can't work out if that's good or not.
I can't remember which seasons these are from but I LOVE these from Dsquared:






And I think that's it! Hopefully next time there will be some actual design work. Definitely more men in shorts.
