An Individual


Here is one of the latest works to leave my brush. I hope it is somewhat enjoyed.

Lume II


Another early morning spent discovering an abandoned building sight plus a tutu and the most phenomenal photographer on the planet and the result was a little hardcore, ethereal magic... I think. Here is Lume II.

Lume

So I have been doing a fitness program called GloryGirl designed by a wonderful friend of mine who's aim is to help woman glorify God through every aspect of their lives including the bodies that God has given them. I went into it with the goals of building up my fitness and confidence to get back into dancing full-time and learning how to cook clean healthy meals. Some background here for those who don't know me... in one whole year of marriage I believe I cooked about two whole meals, 'culinary-ly challenged'! Now I can proudly say that I CAN cook! And secretly I even enjoy it. The GloryGirl fitness program culminates in a photo shoot where you get to record your achievement. I tried to turn the shoot into more of a dancing shoot, since that was the reason I began this little journey, however, there are a couple of shmodel pics in between, please forgive me? With my husbands legendary photographic skills, here are a few of the results.

Remember Me

A while ago, after completing my first year of fashion design at university, I found myself with a three month summer holiday on my hands... most would leap, but for me relaxation equals work of some enjoyable nature. So knowing that the temperatures were above 50°C outside and my husband was working all day, I set myself a personal design project... the most fulfilling (and selfish) kind of art. Alas some weeks went by, I ended up not returning to college but instead starting a full time job as an assistant designer with one of my teachers, who had resigned from teaching and started up a new fashion venture. So although it took me a lot longer than anticipated and the project slowly diminished in largeness from the original expectation of its brief, I have finally completed it. 
The concept was a two part mini collection (originally four part, perhaps the other two will follow in months to come) of looks that suit the modern wife's wardrobe. With four individual themes: 'Birds of a feather', 'Grecian',  'Organic' and 'Nautical'... two looks from each theme per collection. The genre's of the collection were: 'Manaheim' - Lingerie, and 'Esther' - Evening wear. Complete with mood boards, colour cards, technical drawings and sketches. Here are just one or two pages from the finished project.
