A Week of Total Kickass Creation

Photo, photo design and costumes by Melissa Gaggiano

    This has been a mad of week of making and creating. From developing a doll making lesson plan, staging a product photo shoot and making sample dolls for said lesson plan, writing edits, to costume making for a fairy ball. Yeah! So, I was very tired this week. But I got a lot done, so, happy me.

Plough Day

Progress continues on a new fashion art doll. It takes many steps to create something worthwhile. On days when mistakes are made I tend to take more coffee breaks. When fewer pattern revisions are needed I'm more likely to plough through the day and the designing. Today was a ploughing day for me.

Following are shots of Draft #3 of the current doll design…

My Creative Space...

I finished making that doll, which had been mentioned in last week's creative space. You can see it here.

This week I have been reading drawing/design books and doing some drawing. If you step back a few entries you will see development of a hand drawing that I have worked on.

So Cal Noir: A new drawing project I am now developing is a piece inspired by the series Veronica Mars. I want to play with shadow and light in this drawing. Have a look below to see my notes so far on this project.
