Battle for the Winds

To kick start this blog I thought I'd let you know a little about myself and what I've currently been doing...

Recently I've been working along side my fellow student on a project called Battle for the Winds. The costumes were based on different counties in the South and had been each assigned different colours of the rainbow. The costume makers were then divided at random into different counties and each assigned a unique character to construct a costume for. 

For this project I was given the county Dorset. Dorset's theme was that of nautical, gnarled, decaying sea folk, linking it to its heritage of ports, fishering etc. The character I was assigned to construct a costume for was the 'Polo Neck Wind Gatherer'. 

During the course of the project I've had some up and downs, learnt some new skills and techniques to be applied to future projects. The costumes still have some work to do over the next couple of weeks but so far the out comes are looking amazing, communicating not one the designs concept and character but working well as a group.
