Art & Daily Style!

Hey y'all! So today I wanted to post about whats been preoccupying the vast majority of my time lately! I alluded to it being a photography project, and a photography project it is! But its also a combination between photography and sculpture! So here's what I've been working on!




Yes, its a photosculpture of my Jeffery Campbell Litas! This was my photography project for my media class this year, and I am quite happy with my result! It got lots of good comments from the viewers in the gallery, which was really nice for me! 

Basically what I did was carve and shape a model of my shoe on a 1.5:1 scale (approx. 18"x18"x6") out of pink foam, and then take hundreds of macro photos of my shoe and all the details of it and then collaged them onto the model, attaching the photos with Dressmakers pins. 

It took approximately 3.5 weeks to carve and shape the model, and then another week or so to photograph and attach all of the pictures to the model, so it took me a total of just over a month to complete! I am very satisfied with my work, although there are still some touch up to be made.

As well, I wore this outfit to go to the Closing Show at the gallery!


Jacket: Danier (given to me by mum)
Scarf: ???
Necklace: F21
Dress: Spoof!
Leggings: Urban Behaviour
Shoes: Jeffery Campbell
Bag: Aldo

It was a somewhat simple outfit since I only had about 15 minutes to throw something together after a fitting for a modelling gig I got, but I quite liked my result! It felt artsy enough to be an artist at a gala, but fancy enough to go out for dinner afterwards! And of course, I had to wear my Litas to show off my Lita sculpture :P Anyways, here's a couple of other photos from the night.

Went out for dinner with my friend afterwards. That loaf of bread was as big as her head!

Anyways, now that its getting nicer out, I feel more inclined to really try with my outfits! So I'm definitely going to try and post more outfit shots more often! I also want to do a Spring gets post as well, so hopefully that will be coming soon! In the mean time, look at these pretty tulips from the park near my house!


Anyways, I must go to bed now! Until next time!
