Quilts again & Model Kits

Well it was my Birthday 2 days ago and I got lots of awesome Doctor Who bits (god bless the 50th Anniversary being in November) I also got an INCREDIBLE War of The Worlds Alien Tripod model kit from the 2005 version of the movie that despite working on for two days I am making rather fast progress.

I can't do much else after working on the hips & legs because I am planning on lighting the head as since I am a complete newbie to this Its going to take some time, Below is a photo of the Progress I have made so far.

Whilst I am talking about crafty projects I am very proud to say I have completed The Art of Quilting, Well the first 90 issues, they have expanded it on an extra 50 to make a 2nd quilt that I am working on, I have only quilted about 10 blocks so far just to get a feel for stitch-in-the-ditch. My partner doesn't think I can do the entire quilt as my sewing machine isn't very wide. I think I agree with him and are only quilting 4 blocks in each corner of the quilt. 

Finally, My Nyan cat quilt is coming along nicely I have gotten together 4 sections of the quilt and waiting a fabric delivery before I can start on the 5th section, I laid out 3 pieces along the top that I have completed to get a feel for the size, I got to say its not as large as I thought it was going to be. See you next time 

Quilts

Over the past 2 years I have been collecting a Part Work magazine from Hachette called The Art of Quilting, It consisted of 90 issues (now 150 issues) to make a patchwork quilt. The First 90 Issues created one and the additional 60 issues will make a second.

I finished the quilt top about a fortnight ago and I have just started to quilt it, Its going to take a long time on my little sewing machine haha But I'm glad its finished.  Below is a photo of me trimming it and of it in the machine closing the edges of the 3 layers (quilt top, wadding & quilt back)

This quilt has been a good journey and mega fun, Through out the process of it, I have planned several other quilts that I wanted to do (mainly pixel art quilts) and I have made it my New Years Resolution to complete the two I want to do the Most. Nyan Cat & Yoshi! I found a brilliant site that had a series of tutorial posts to create a Nyan Cat quilt. Its spread of 12 weeks. Below is the Week One tutorial. I will be posting each fortnight when I create the next patch I dont think I will be doing the 2nd part untill 2014 though but that being said I do have a fair bit of white/blue fabric so I could make the space parts over the new few weeks

Hey Guys,

As you might know I am on the prince's Trust programme at the minute, and part of it is a 2 week work placement, and The team leaders Tracey & Lorraine have worked really hard to secure mine.

I am happy to announce that I will be on a two week work placement at Meep Meep.

I am also working on something crafty, I have been learning to crochet, and have only got the hang of Granny Squares so I am making a Pixel art blanket for my other half. Its going to be Yoshi from Super Mario Bros ^^

Happy Hallow, he he he heeeen..

Good Evening.. afternoon or Morning..when ever you are reading.

Again, Long time so see and I am very sorry for that thing have been VERY busy for me last few months and I have lots to share with you .

First off, I have been enrolled on The Princes Trust Programme,  its basically something to help me gain skins for employment and gain confidence etc. I'm in Week 4 of 12 at the moment and its been fun, The Next two weeks we are doing our Community Project were we will be doing up a local park. What I'm really looking forward to is the Two Work Placement in weeks 7/8 I am tentatively being placed at a Graphic Design agency called Meep Meep and I am extremely Excited!!

Anyway...ON TO DESIGNY THINGS ^^

First things First... NEW GAGA!!! Its been 5 months since I last updated you on this project, I have 4 new pieces to display still not finished with all 18..

From left to Right, Top to Bottom they are named, Got Fish?, Monster Army, Take of some Clothes & Still not Tall enough, Give them a little click to see them in their high  resolution glory, next on the Agenda is my progressing Bane Cosplay, not much of a design aspect but it has allowed me to flex my creative muscle a lot..Below is a photo of my Bane Mask.. 

When Gotham is in Ashes, You have my Permission to Die...

And FINALLY...Last but not least, here is my latest project that I just finished, Zombie Skinhead...I drew him on the table at a Prince's Trust Team meeting, Everyone really thought it was awesome, it was just a sketch for me but I decided to take it all the way and digitally Ink & Colour it. I present it here in two formats, Modern & Classic Horror....their basically the same image but one is in Black & White :-P 

Going Gaga for GaGa!!

Even with the house move I have been on a roll with these images, the episode aired on the 20th and it was AMAZING!! I have another 4 outfits of the 18 done so far....After seeing the episode I feel rather cheated of outfits because she only wears about 15 different ones, and 3 variations of the same one the only thing changing being the shoes..but here are the 4 newest ones...I will admit to saying Lady Jawa is my favourite of all the outfits and images so far..
