Uni interview!

Some pretty naf sketches of the other girls here for interview...no one's talking so I thought I'd draw them! They all look very modern and stylish...then there's me in black jeans, a red floaty top and black and white striped blazer (going for something that looks tailored = smart)! I'm 4th for interview and there's only 5 of us in total, 1 has already gone and the second is in now...one left then me! So nervous but I just need to be myself! Ahhh scary! I won't know today if I've got an offer or not, I'll have to wait a few weeks for an email so ugh stress! Anyway I'll post later how it went! Sorry for huge ramble I'm just really bored :)

Diana dress idea! Quick sketch

Sat waiting for my uni interview so sketched my new (and possibly final) idea for Diana! Thinking now of what Elicia said the other day about keeping the tailored aspect and having a pencil skirt that follows on from the corset, same material, maybe casings as well so the wicker sticks can go through the skirt as well? I've only got until Monday to finish it...so time is ticking! Better settle on an idea pretty soon, and I really like this one!

Mental Health Survey - please fill in!

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RLNMH9H

Link to my survey on survey monkey! Please fill in the survey, it will only take  a few minutes and is completely anonymous! It is about mental health issues but you can fill it in whether you have a diagnosed mental health issue or not. This is part of my research for a video art installation I am creating for a college project, about how people feel about themselves and what's hiding beneath their smile. I'd be very grateful if you could fill in my survey and even share on Facebook or tell your friends and family! Much appreciated :D Thank you! This blog will be kept up to date with the progress of this project.
