 | 06:04 pm - No place like London
Hello all! I hope Winter has been kind to you. It's very cold where I live but I'm sort of used to it already. I'm still busier than I'd like, but at least I'm getting ahead with my education.
I'm planning to make a small trip to London with friends this year, and when our product design teacher announced we'd be making up a small "collection" inspired by some place we'd like to visit, I knew exactly what to do. It had to be a short trip, about a weekend long, and we had to keep in mind that the wardrobe should be carefully selected and fit into one piece of luggage, maybe the kind you can take with you on board. There are some of my drawings (none of which are my best, really, mostly tried to make them nice and clean), then these (almost technical) design illustrations and some pictures from magazines to set the right mood. The collection had to be made into a portfolio -like folder: I made one that is simply tied together with a ribbon. Here are the pages, I hope you enjoy them.
First, travel and shopping:
A black dress for an evening at a theater with the most inconvenient button placement, but I love it.
An outfit to use for visiting museums or strolling around the city.
Let's not forget that it's chilly out there. A nice wool cape with convenient openings for hands.
A rather boring backside but, thanks for looking.
I would actually like to make most of these... I have at least that blueish-grey gingham fabric and the black wool mix in stock.
See you again soon!
Yours,
miss Kuura.

 | 12:16 pm - Tea-tinted
I tried some tea-dying on impulse the other day, with just a tiny piece of venice lace. I have over 13 meters of it in pure white, but since I'd rather use off-white and natural shades, I'm going to experiment a little.
I soaked this piece in a strong brew for about 18 hours. I guess less would be enough, but some of the colour might leak after washing. We'll see.
It feels like the light here is always bad. I've been trying to take pictures of hats and outfits but, alas, it's impossible without a photographer. My camera isn't the best one either. I'm going to have to look for some solution to this.
