BELGIN VEHBI: Week 11

I have had to order 2 of my fabrics; both picked up. One perfect, one with grease marks, sent that back, came back with smaller grease marks but had to cut around it. At £45 a metre you would expect more.

This journey has taught me two very important things.

1- I am a perfectionist when it comes to anything to do with my work and as for the hard nose bitch I thought I was, I start to cry simultaneously when things aren’t as they should be. I wear makeup so I would not by choice want to start crying at the drop of a hat. I persist until I get what I think is perfect. I have made about 5/6 toile’s for each of my dresses. I remake to see the whole thing rather then change a small parts.

I may be a case study for my title Absurd ‘v’ Acceptability

2- Throughout this module I have had 5 people helping me over the 9 weeks. I have had to listen to some really feeble excuses as to why they can’t come in. It’s almost like they are trying to feel important, and enjoy watching you plead ,and try to explain just how important this is to me. Constantly trying to resolve and work out ways to get around their issues. the, trying to get people to think laterally as I have only one shot at this.

Due to it being such a short course once you have started working with someone you have to persevere. Stop start doesn’t work. I by nature always look for the positive in people and think it won’t happen again.

The space needs to be painted, as well as the floor platform. I have decided on the design and graphics I would like for my invites and sent them off to printers. Decision making is not one of my strengths so hence I have sent off 2 versions. I am very pleased with with the post cards which i designed and Balv who is now helping me on a on going basis formated and sent off.
The post cards are invites one to handed out before and one once they have viewed the exhibition as it will make more sence.

Ordered the shoes and booked a new makeup artist from AOFM.

Lighting; I am happy with the natural daylight but have two hanging spotlights for the very end of the day.
