#pueo

Hii!! It's been a while huh

I was in exam period, soo I couldn't upload photos of the next bird. But here it is, the Pueo!!

I learned how to needle felt on amigurumis!!, and this technique was quite helpful because I wasn't going to be embroidering the details of the face. Oh, and it's also the first amigurumi bird that can properly stand up.

Here are my site photos of where I plan to install my mural.

Revised version of carriage.

This is the tower portion of the design. Left is the draft; right is the revision design.

Update:

Heyo all, let's see what ive been up to… since the start of the semester, I’ve been developing draft designs for my mural design and collecting ground site photos for my mock-ups. As of now I have done some major revision that I feel is more me.

Upcoming 2 weeks are flexible, but it should be getting the approval for my design and installation at the station. In the meantime, I’ll be working on getting more accurate measurements for my template and bringing my design up to accurate scale as much as possible.

Good thing is that there are no setbacks. One hurdle was my revisions; my original designs were good, but it all felt very plain, stiff, and uncohesive. But it was such a breakthrough when I finally made my new design, which I feel is more expressive and dynamic. I am definitely more proud of the version.

The design aspect I am ahead of the track with my project schedule, which keeps me on track with the meetings aspect of talking with my other professors helping me with this project and also getting in contact with vinyl print companies. I know those will take some time.
