Friday, March 12, 2010. My Computer Aided Surface Design class concluded a couple of days ago with the completion of a small collection of designs which we would all submit to the Surtex design competition. I LOVED this class and I cannot wait to work on more patterns. Check out my first (small) collection:. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Simple template.

Brenda Aguilar: July 2011
http://brendaaguilar.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 16, 2011. Weekend Project: Jewelry Hanger. Last weekend I finally made something I've wanted to make for a while. I looked everywhere for the perfect shadow box frame, and since I don't have access to a circular saw anymore I couldn't make my own. Then, two weekends ago while I was crashing yard sales with my friend, I finally found it. the perfect shadow box, untreated wood and everything. So here's what I did with it. 3) I put the back panel and frame together using wood glue.

Brenda Aguilar: Adventures with Jacquard, Part 1
http://brendaaguilar.blogspot.com/2011/03/adventures-with-jacquard-part-1.html
Thursday, March 10, 2011. Adventures with Jacquard, Part 1. I thought it would be awesome to learn how to use the Jacquard loom. Before graduating and since I only have one woven piece in my portfolio it wouldn't hurt to weave something else. So I took my damask design and prepared it to be woven with the help of Deborah First, one of my awesome professors. It is 12:20am on Friday March 11. I'm taking a much deserved break to tell you about today's adventure. March 11, 2011 at 2:49 PM. You are so talente...

Brenda Aguilar: August 2010
http://brendaaguilar.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 9, 2010. I am back from my summer internship in Ghana. I can't even begin to describe how amazing of an experience it was. You can read all about my trip, see pictures and videos here. I worked on a lot of new home decor batiks and product ideas for the 2011 Global Mamas catalog. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality, I can't show you anything I worked on, so you'll have to wait until the catalog comes out. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, February 9, 2011. I'm learning about dyeing fabric in my Images on Fabric course. I'm going to work on my Transitional Collection and the course assignments simultaneously. The collection will be inspired by Nicaragua and its foliage and scenery. I will photograph and document the process of those pieces when I get to them. For now I'm experimenting with Shibori and other resist dyeing techniques with acid, resist, and reactive dyes. Here are a few samples I did last night:. Links to this post.
