New Decisions, New Ideas


Hey all, sorry, I was locked out of my account!
So there's some big changes going on in my life right now. I am changing schools after my first semester of my senior year. It's a necessary change because where I am is not where I want to be and I am now going to FIT to study technical design. I am still finishing up my semester here at Marist and I am making the most of it by working on things I want to work on, including new textile designs, new dress designs, and I'm making them fit me instead of an industry fit model. I'm really excited about this change, I'm a lot less stressed and I feel like even though I don't have a senior collection, I have a lot to show for my free time.
In my Textile Design class, we've been working on a medley of projects. This one is called Batik, which is a wax resist you put on the fabric and then paint over. Here are some pictures I took during our process!
