Blast from the past ............ I made this!

Came across a news bulletin from a national fashion design competition I won in March 2000 while studying.  The theme was 'Sirens of the Silver Screen', the title 'Cancer Research Recycled Designer of the Year 2000'  with the winning outfit modelled by Danielle Brown the sister of Scary Spice.  The prize was to go to London for three months work experience with designers; Vivienne Westwood, Ben de Lisi and Betty Jackson.  Anyway there was absolutely no funding with this prize so other than my uncle and a patron (a very kind mother of a lady I designed a wedding dress for),  I had nothing to finance this trip with. My close chum, Maddie kindly let me stay in her flat for the full two weeks.  I ended up going to Vivienne Westwood in London, where I was based in the Public Relations Department.  I really wish I had had time to spend with Ben de Lisi, who I quite admire!  Oh well, hindsite is a great thing and all!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

Really busy couple of months, what with working, trying to study and entertaining myself with making.  Have found a little time to reset stones in some of the vintage/antique jewellery I have been collecting over the last ten years.
