Friday 20th November= Had a catch up session in the studio, I finished my bodice which took me FOREVER! I didnt have that much left to do so I didn't think it would take me that long, how WRONG I was! It took me ALL day! I kept making little mistakes and had to keep unpicking what I had jut sewn. I think I spent most of my time unpicking! I got there eventually and it felt like such an achievement when I had finaaly completed it at 4.00pm! i didnt get everything I wanted to get done as I wanted Caroline to help me redo some of my seams but that will have to wait for another day.

Monday 23th November= We drew manaquins first thing this morning in design. We drew them in different angles and after a while a drawing them differently each time made a human figre out of them and then added clothes on top. I enjoyed drawing the manaquins but after a while I got a bit frustrated because I' couldnt get the proportions of the body right. Having done life drawing for a year I felt really stupid that I was struggling to do it, but I am fine with copying, it's when I have to do it from memory that I find it hard, like today. After break thankfully I got to do something else which was shade with charcoal and then rub marks into it with a rubber. I have done exercises like these before so I felt really comfortable doing this and Sarah complimented my work and said that she could tell I had done it before. This was a huge confidence boost after this mornings downfall. After lunch we got to carry on with our melting pot project so I headed to the library and got swallowed by books on hinduism.
