Shibori

I decided to have a go a shibori (think thats how you spell it) but wasn't too sure how to do it, I tied some 5p coins in the fabric then steamed it over a pan but that didn't seem to be working so I just boiled it and that worked: 

Interdisciplinary Skirt Photoshoot

Photography - Katie Longley

Model - Laura Longley

Skirt - Elouise Norris (me)

With the time and effort I put into the skirt I made for the interdisciplinary module I asked my good friend Katie Longley, an talented photographer studying the subject at The University of Wales, Newport, and her sister Laura Longley beautifully modelled the skirt. I am extremely happy with the outcomes and think they look amazing, everything works well together, the skirt and the model look stunning and the location (a derelict church) works really well with the colours and background of the skirt.     

Longleat

As part of my research for 'modern rural' I went to Longleat, to take pictures of animals, thinking rural I thought of farm animals. and was under false impressions that there would be farm animals here, but there wasn't, so will aim to find some farm animals to look at too. Although it may not fit the point completely (think it fits modern rather than rural, but can see how this deviation could happen) I got some pretty photos of the animals, and was surprised how close you could get, like feeding the deers from your car and I even held a snake! I would like this to fit in with my project, as would like to look at interesting animal print.
