ciao ciao everyone.
so on thursday our project was due for julia, and i made my gelato-land. i think it came out pretty well, it was more or less what i was envisioning. (i took a million pictures so look at them if you need a reference). the one thing that someone suggested in class was to use some kind of patterned fabric more often, in addition to the royal blue plaid i used. i actually would have loved to do that, and tried to, but money just became somewhat of an issue. why does crappy cotton fabric cost 13 euros per meter in italy? i do not know. but anyways, i think that the gelatoland came out more like i had hoped. and i was glad everyone noticed the points and shapes of the various pillowlike structures, of gelato... cause that was the hardest part of making it. i wanted to be sure that the gelato would really have a specific form, not just be a random blob all over my desk. and one thing i was also happy about were the buttons. i decided to use the buttons as almost a replacement for not having more patterend fabric. i only put the buttons on the light blue fabric, like almost like it was a specific flavor or something, and luckily no one found that too (to use my favorite word,) cheeky.
so now im mentally moving on past the gelato and diving into this whole collection idea. im at a loss currently. the only thing that keeps popping into my head is related to food- i love food, obviously. im thinking about pasta, more gelato, or something along those lines. i dont really know what the hell im going to do with this yet, but im slowly but surely working on it.
and a sidenote, rome yesturday was somewhat fantastical. the catacombs we went into, although i was freakishly claustrophobic at certain points, was deffinetely interesting. its wild how these people made these things, and all underground too. and that cript thing with the cappucine monks was absolutely wild. john witty (who knows absolutely everything) said that that place consists of the bones from 4000 human bodies- thats insane. it was slightly disturbing to watch, but also very interesting. its very much like the new assignment- collection. i dontthink julia would recommend using a collection of human bones though, but who knows. and we drove by the colluseum, which got me very excited becuase im going back to rome with my parents in two weeks, wohoo!
ok thats all i have,
peace out all
