The time for revival

After a very long absence I am back again just popping into the Cyberworld of Blogging to let everyone know that the long awaited complete transformation of this website is coming very soon and hopefully, once out the other end, I can really create a website people will be excited about as much as I am at the prospect of making it :)

Love Always,

p.s. My Valentines day balloons are still going strong- I'll take that as a good sign I think

Tumblr here I come...

I've had a Tumblr for a few years now that I've never used but as a forum for getting my photography out it could be really useful... So, I've JUST signed up for a new one now and over the next couple weeks I will get it properly up and running. 

My Tumblr will be a place for me to showcase my work with this blog remaining to be my main forum for ..well..everything :)

So, now that I've let you know :)

Love Always,

Mini Major Project..so to speak

As much as I wish I could take these two weeks that are meant to be towards a 'mini major project' to finish up all my other work that my life has distracted me from this past term in college and towards making a portfolio...etc... I'm also quite excited for my ideas towards this lil' two week project.

This time last year I'd FULLY decided that when doing this course that THIS IDEA that i'll be doing for this two week project would be my final major project but as I've evolved through the course this year I've adapted and changed my way of thinking and VOILA- Only a couple DAYS ago I finally decided what my final project will actually be.

I'm not going to let on to too many hints right now though and instead let you all know that VERY soon I'll have a constant stream of Inspiring artists, photographers and etc on this blog as the past few weeks I've come across so many that I've fallen for completely and can't wait to let the world know about :)

Other than that I don't have too much to say tonight as I have a whole list of things to cross off college-wise and even more in my head that need to be added to the bottom of it.

Love Always,

Luciie Panda

well...

This is my first free day in MONTHS so why do I feel guilty about it?

My mind is still keeping super busy though. I've spent yesterday and evening and today going back and forth with my ideas for my final project in college. I'm ALSO confused about whatever my project will be for the next two weeks..

So here's to hoping i'll get it all figured out and it won't all dissolve into a pile of nothing-ness :)

Love always,

National Trust, Plas Newydd 1930's

Well... it's been a while. I'm sorry for abandoning you blog. It wasn't for lack of ideas for posts just lack of time.
I'm really excited to be typing this though, because after months of feeling like I've hardly touched my camera at all ( old or new one) I've finally done a photo-shoot and I'm really happy with how it's gone.

These photo's are part of a series done within college for the National Trust and a project they are doing with sustainable energy in Wales.
The National Trust are doing ALOT to try and create a sustainable future and, in wales, they are actually in the process of creating some sort of hydro powered energy to power all of the National Trust building in Wales. Don't take my word for it though as it's early morning so my head is a little hazy and facts are hard to remember.

After having a day visit at one of the National Trusts' Local Manor Houses 'Plas Newydd' where we were told a little bit about what they are doing and what they are planning to do in the future we (the art students)  were then given the brief to find a new, innovative way of presenting the National Trust and/or their work with Sustainable energy.

And without further ado..... These are my images taken. A video will follow shortly after :)

( Some images have both a coloured and more monochromatic version )

Alexander McQueen Pre-fall 2013

I may be a bit late off the mark here but I've been meaning to post this since February 12th and it's enough procrastination from me.

I'm not sure sexy and vampiric were meant as the words to instantly come to mind at this piece but it is absolutely GORGEOUS. the contrast of colours is striking and the flounced hem perfectly shows off the splash of crimson.

I'm not even going to begin to explain how much I love this piece .. and those SLEEVES!

Stepped right out of a painting, if I do say so myself :)

This is gorgeous, taking on elements( the bust-line and 'netted' effect for instance) in particular of recent high street fashion and yet turning it into something so much more. 

It is, of course, no huge secret that I'm a huge fan of monochromatic clothing and with a splash of sexy deep crimson- even better!

I'm not going to say too much about this collection except that Sarah Burton certainly went to new levels to upkeep the McQueen signature style.

The collection is a mix of Gothic-chic and religion-ism ( is that the word?) that seems archaic and innocent yet beautiful. The lines are long and lean much like priestly clothing and yet somehow Burton has managed to make such beautiful, elegant pieces out of such innocent religious inspiration.

Love Always,

Luciie Panda
