Overall Concept board: Crystal Drops

This is a concept board which combined inspiration+mood+colour board. It was the first time we combined all the boards into one overall one.

Crochet Baby Dress

This was done during my holidays where I came upon this tutorial teaching how to crochet a baby dress. This was the result after I tried crocheting it. 2 buttons were placed front (decorative) and back (fastening). The embellishment around the waist are acrylic cords with pretzel knots.

Art Of Shoes 2013: Beyond Holes

Beyond Holes

Ballerina Flats

Wedge Sandals

High Heel Pumps

Actual product

This was the first competition I took part in. Along with it, we attended a 4-day shoe course by TAF.TC to learn about the foundation of shoe production. We were called to produce 3 designs: a ballerina flats, a sandal wedges, and a pumps. the general theme given was Summer Fun.

My concept was named Beyond Holes. It portrayed the restrictions present in everyday life, yet fun is where these restrictions are overcome. It is only when you break through these little holes (representing restrictions), that you are able to find true fun in life. Blue was used to highlight the transformation of "everyday blues" to a fun element.

I was lucky enough to be chosen as the top 8 finalist for the competition. All 3 pairs of shoes by the 8 finalists were manufactured and 1 pair of shoes was worn by the model for the final judging. The shoes came out great, with only one disappointment where the key element, which are the holes on the heels, was unable to be executed due to time limitations. However, it was still a good experience!

FIrst knit project

ATTACHABLE COLLAR

HAT

TRANSFORMED HAT: POUCH

We learnt to knit during a subject and required to create accessories of our choice. A large number of the class kniited scarves because it was the most basic, but I wanted to do something more challenging. After looking through several tutorials on the net, I decided to just combine simple knit and purl patterns (ribbing too), and created a attachable collar and a hat as shown above. However due to time constrain, the hat became too short (its supposed to be a beanie length).

After we were given back our works, I wanted to make the hat to something useful, so I played around with it. At first I insisted to make it a hat, and placed a drawstring on it. It didn't turn out good as a hat, but when I turned it over, it became a pouch! At that time, I had a rendering subject on hand, so I needed something to store my copic markers, and this became the great solution to it as well.
