So here are all the things that happened since my last Journal(16.5.2008):
In an earlier Journal I already wrote that I wanted to change my school. I was at a "Gymnasium" (a German schooltype leading to the university). The reasons were: I wasn't very good at school (especially in Latin and maths) and I already know that I want to become a fashion designer. In Frankfurt I found a school that is specialised in fashion and leads to the same graduation as a "Gymnasium". In this school in 11th grade you have only two days class a week and the other three days you have to work in a company in the fashion business. In 12th grade it's 5 days school a week.
In February 2008 I started writing applications for the school and for a company to work at...
In April the school wrote me a letter that I could go there.
In May (one day after the Tarja Turunen concert^^) I had a job interview at a costume studio and a few weeks later I was told that I got the job.
And since August I am at the "Frankfurter Schule für Bekleidung und Mode" (school for fashion and clothing, Frankfurt)and work at this costume studio.
The bad thing is that I have to get up very early every day now and go to school(/work) by train wich takes almost one hour
In The middle of August we moved to another flat, because the old one was too expensive and big and too many things were broken down and because the owner wasn't very nice and didn't repair anything...
The new flat is very nice. My room is bigger now and has a balcony and I have a lot of space to sew and be creative. And the owners are very nice, too^^.
I didn't have any internet for 4 weeks because of the move and couldn't be here on deviantart...and after that I just didn't want to do much here and I don't really know why. I guess I just needed a little break^^ Except that I didn't have much time because of the new school/work...but now I'm back and I'm trying to be more active...
The Lady Asassin fotoshooting I was often speakin about in my journal was cancelled. We couldn't find a day where we all had time and I didn't finish all the handbags that we needed for the shooting. It was a project for art-lessons at school and so I had to do something else. In December I finished the Poisonbag and I will make some photos of it soon...
I was not lazy in the time I wasn't here...I did a lot of photo-projects and also drew a lot.
The one was in June/July: I had made a blue waistcoat and needed pictures of it. I was the model that time and Max [link] (a friend of mine) was the photographer . The location was the area behind the main station in Aschaffenburg. First I just wanted some photos of my waistcoat but then we started thinking and had great ideas...The concept was (in short form) a world after a nuclear war where strange creatures rediscovered the old cultures and are inspired by them. after that shooting we decided to make a second one with a female model and send the photos to a competition by a big German Photo-Organisation. We could send 4 pictures and our best one was on place 11. In the overall-standings we were on place 12. You can see those pictures in my Gallery.
The other project was in May or June (I can't remember when exactly it was). It was a bodypainting-photoshooting. The model was Leibo [link] and the painting I did on him was in the style of "carnivorous plants" [link] but it didn't work like I wanted...On paper I normmally use black biros for this style but we needed a colour that you can remove a bit more easy so I used acrylic paint and make-up in different colors. The painting took 2 or 3 hours and the photoshooting about 4 hours. The location was the Schönbusch-park near Aschaffenburg. I think I will have to do this again and better sometime. I will upload the pictures soon...
I also have a new and better camera now. It is a Canon Eos 1000D and it was my christmas gift^^. I'm still learning how to work with it but I think I can alredy show you some of the new pictures made with my new camera^^ (I will upload something the next days...)
