Waisted Studio: January 2012
http://waisteddesigner.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 13 January 2012. I of all people know how hard it is to stay organised when it comes to working on projects. You can expect to see an entire table covered in photos, cut out bits of paper, scrap fabric, pens everywhere. Basically just chaos. And usually a pen, or photo, you happen to need has been lost somewhere under it all. I know I usually waste a lot of time hunting for things amongst the rubbish. But when my new project started I had an idea:. The paper background is perfect as you can write...

Waisted Studio: March 2011
http://waisteddesigner.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 20 March 2011. Hitting the Pause Button. Just before Christmas I became very ill from some kind of exhaustion virus which made me very run down, lethargic and unable to even think about work, let alone physically move to do it. This lasted for over a month and as a result put me very far behind with my studies. HOWEVER, in the meantime I want to continue designing and making in my own time, and as a result of this time off it will give me more time to blog :) It will be interesting working to my ...

Waisted Studio: DIY Mannequin....Attempt 1
http://waisteddesigner.blogspot.com/2011/10/diy-mannequinattempt-1.html
Sunday, 9 October 2011. DIY Mannequin.Attempt 1. I know I promised a post documenting my DIY mannequin of myself with instructions on how to make it. BUT my first attempt all went a bit pair shaped. So I've decided this is how NOT to make your own mannequin! It started off well, I had all of the necessary tools:. Then it all went down-hill from there. My one roll of Mod Rock. Ensure you have enough mod rock:. Concentrate on the contours of the waist and the small of the back. Before covering yourself in ...

Waisted Studio: Reunited With An Old Love
http://waisteddesigner.blogspot.com/2012/01/reunited-with-old-love.html
Sunday, 8 January 2012. Reunited With An Old Love. I have finally come out of my writers block with my project, and have been busy researching and coming up with my initial design response. For colour, I have dug out my collection of Letraset Promarkers (I counted around 65), and have found myself become addicted to them again! Which is pretty good. It cost me £10.71 from the letraset. Website, and orders over £10 are free. So it's actually a lot cheaper to buy from here than on ebay! I'm now in the fina...

Friday, 21 January 2011. Thank you so much to those who contributed, I'm truly grateful. It was also good to see everyones individual take on the subject, and its nice to see that although everyone can see that there are pressures to be a certain way, individuality is not lost. Thank you again. I'm currently in the middle of writing up my fashion dissertation, and would love it if you could help me out by anonymously filling out my dissertation survey on the pressures of 'perfection'. Good news: Its free!

Waisted Studio: August 2011
http://waisteddesigner.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 11 August 2011. First Post Back and Update. It's been nearly 5 months since I last posted on here, and I've decided it's time to come back! With everything that went on I felt I needed a complete break from fashion to help my mind focus better, and now I feel I'm there. I haven't been completely gone from the blogging scene: I've been following my other passion in Beauty over on my new blog 'Not Just Skin Deep'. During my time off I went away for a week to Ayia Napa (not such a relaxing break!

Waisted Studio: Future Developments and Creative Block
http://waisteddesigner.blogspot.com/2011/12/future-developments-and-creative-block.html
Thursday, 15 December 2011. Future Developments and Creative Block. I know it's been a while since my last post, but in the next coming weeks you should expect to see a bit more on here. Especially January when I officially start back at uni for my final major project! For now I have 2 ideas in mind, but I'm worried I'll choose something too complicated. The trouble with complicated ideas is that, although they're very inspiring, you will probably need 6 months to fully explore it and get the most you ca...

Waisted Studio: October 2011
http://waisteddesigner.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 13 October 2011. I LOVE the box bag, I'd seen it in there a few times, but obviously this time I couldn't resist buying it! Big rings are a big love of mine too, and I seem to have added stud earrings to my list of favourites too. I always think that even subtle earrings make such a big difference to an outfit. Sunday, 9 October 2011. DIY Mannequin.Attempt 1. It started off well, I had all of the necessary tools:. Then it all went down-hill from there. My one roll of Mod Rock. Pay attention to ...
