I would like to join if possible. Do we actually sew and take pistures of the design or just scan or sketches? *Was the due date yesterday or following friday?*

I hope it's drawings! And the date would definitely be next Friday, and every Friday after that.

Done, so here is my picture...



I decided that I wanted to design something from the French Revolution Period, and I just loved the Style of Napoleon and I found the most extravagant picture of him on a horse which I knew i had to use for inspiration...So the period of my design would be the 1800's. My design has a blue jacket with gold embroidery, one glove, with mustard trousers, red drape, and a white chiffon silk with a gold bottom....

Inspiration:

I just finished my sketches. I think Friday is too much time to come up with sketches. Shouldn't we shorten it to like every 2~3 days. I'm connecting my scanner so I can post the sketches now. Do we also prepare a persentation? (Like a paragraph explaining our sketch) I kinda also know who it is that is currently in the competition.

^ It didnt really help me...but I was looking for the Renaissance period, and It came with some of these pictures...Before the Napoleon theme, I went through about 20 others including Marlene Dietrich/20's/60's/Reformation!

I finished mines. My scanner down so I took pictures of the sketches. I was going for a Victorian type of Theme. Like during the Declaration of Independence Era. I wanted to have shades of peaches and purples. Overall I like it, not Love it.


*edit: pictures fixed*
