Get inspired

Design brief: To design and make a model of a system or environment.

The most amazing curb.

The

Fairytale.

Nature <3

Straight lines ||

There are so many ways to approach this problem. So many ideas!!!! i wish i could do them all!!

I somehow want to incorporate clean modern design, into a nature filled environment. Somewhere we people can go to express themselves artistically and creatively. Somewhere where people will be inspired by both technology, and nature. A place of complete pilgrimage.

Open to suggestions :)

Mini.me

So, i would like to introduce you all to a very special small person.

She is amazing.

She is adorable.

Cute.

and sometimes makes hissing noises.

Her name is Mikayla!

She, is my niece.

So my sister, her fiancée, son, daughter, 2 cats and dog, is living with us for a while until she gets her house sorted out. Its like Hawthorne Heights jamming in my hallway.....24/7.

Although I am heaps lucky to have a beautiful Niece and Nephew, I also love my quiet Jessica Time <3

With a crazy household, i decided to make the most of my situation. and EXPLOIT THE CHILDREN.

Child labour = Making "cleaning Jessica's room" a game.

Child labour = Answering telemarketers.

Child labour= Catering to my stomach.

So the children are pretty useful. not to mention ADORABLE. They have some pretty odd habits which arn't all bad. Mikayla has an fascination with answering the phone. Pretty handy since i refuse to answer the home number. Clearly it is not for me, I have a mobile.

So yesterday, i was just loving life at home. Went to the toilet to do, you know, toilet stuff. And there was no toilet paper. What do i do? Ring the home phone. Tell Miki to bring some toilet paper from the other toilet. AND BAM! Problem solved.

My nephew on the other hand just chills in Tutus and attempts leg mounts. I think he wants to be a ballerina.

I have regular photo shoots with them. She has the cutest poses. I say Beyonce and she does the single ladies dance. I say Lady gaga. and she VOGUES!

I shall be posting some shots of our happy times soon. :)

I say,

“Procrastination is the key to prolonging life”

Summer loving.

Design Brief: Design and make an article of clothing to take on a holiday destination of your own choice. You are to construct the garment and present it for marking.

Summer 2009

my obsession with floral heightens

"The beach.

Sunburn.

Friends.

Salty kisses.

Ice-cream.

Lost thongs"

Summer is full of uncertainty. discoveries and possibilities.

I wanted to recreate this life of summer into my dress design.

WOOSH GOES THE WAVES!

WOOSH GOES MY DRESS!

The lovely Krisna agreed to take some shots with my uber crappy camera :) Im no Jess Tran.

The flower embroidery was quite tedious, but once i got the hang of it, it was in a way, relaxing. Yup. i lie. It took forever. But it was worth it :)

I think i shall post some better shots of this dress. These hardly do it justice. PHOTOSHOOT EVERYBODY!

My fair lady.

Design brief: Design a room in the home, and produce an artefact (product) that suits your design.

Audrey Hepburn. A failed prima ballerina because of poor nutrition + her height. Renowned for her determination, and absolute beauty.

Sabrina (1954)

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

My Fair Lady (1964)

“I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.”

I'm far from amazing.

Experimenting with Hues of black,i have attempted to recreate the time in Audrey's life where she underwent a reinvention. From being a victim of war, to an unforgettable personality.

My new virtual home.

My name is Jess Guzman. Im 16 (wishing i was 17). I like the colour black, but not in the emo sense. I'm from Argentina and i speak moderately fluent spanish. I like things i'm not good at. My grammar, punctuation and spelling is atrocious. I like to dance. I play the violin. My room is painted pink, i wish it wasn't. I like to draw. I like computers. I love making awkward silences extra awkward. I can not keep secrets. I like knowing things that others don't, then telling them to reiterate the point that they didn't know. I love my iphone. I love inhaling too much ventolin (asthmatic) so my hands start to shake. I'm a horrible organiser. I always make mistakes. Being grossed out by period. Once i didn't pick up my dirty clothes from the floor for a week, i witnessed a cockroach emerging amidst the pile not too long after. I use ; because i think it looks cooler than : I love fake laughing, because its clearly more fun than not. I would love to one day me a designer, whether its fashion, communication or graphic. I love being a wierdo sometimes. I have too many out of body experiences. I am obsessed with gossip girl and have my own "gossip update". I bought a hip top phone and pretended to be blair. Sometimes my eye twitches way too often, i get a little freaked out. I am intimidated by nearly everyone around me, but i try not to be. I am in love with half-casts. I hate it when girls have to make the first move. Giving birth to tampons. I secretly tried the moves from karate kid in the mirror.

Thats about it. You officially know everything there is to know about me. Well at least for now :) I shall be posting anything i like; from photographs, poems, jewellery, outfits, songs.

And I'm off bed.
