I’m off to TAFE - Day 2: St Valentine’s Day and an egg and bacon roll

Posted by Melissa on | February 14, 2006

Day Two.
I thought that my fellow Textile students would dazzle me with their creativity and witty repartee. At the O Week breakfast this morning a couple of classmates debated if was more healthy to eat no breakfast or fried eggs and bacon everyday. *sigh*
The cafe went ‘all-out’ to acknowledge the most romantic of days with watermelon pink donuts. Couple one with a fairly dire coffee and you know you are back in the education system…
Went to my first class - Design Elements & Principles, which tested all my adult inhibitions and high professional standards. The exercise - draw a pile of op shop shoes and find an interesting pattern in a section of the resulting work. The poor perspective and disfigured result will be coaxed into a repeat pattern design. You’re no doubt waiting with bated breath to see the result. I know I am.
Playground observation: The commercial printer guys don’t mix with the girls and boys studying fashion, footwear, textiles etc. They prefer to clump outside their (butch) blue building and chuck stuff at each other.

    say what you will about the intellect of your classmates… but don’t you dare say anything bad about pink donuts!

    with the exception of donuts with custard inside of them, pink donuts are supreme.

    can you post the results of your pattern?
