Mon Dieu!

I realised that I haven't updated in quite a while what with being caught up with Christmas, Brikkuni's recording and the final preparations for Skimmed's upcoming album!

However before going on further....here are some of the items which I made for Patches 2011 (all entirely screenprinted and designed by yours truly) some of which you can find for sale on my Etsy shop!

Final preparations....muahahaha

Final preparations underway for THE halloween party!! And as I was at one of my favourite charity shops hunting for a nightdress for said party with the intention of covering myself in fake blood and dressing up as a certain distressed teen during her prom night....look what I found sitting on the top shelf of the book section....

Back again

After a short break for the summer months alexandraaquilina.com - the blog is back!

Last week I had my portfolio on display as part of the MCAST art and design room during the very first Malta Design Week. It was a very interesting and well organised affair and I never thought I'd see the courtyard of the MITP look so beautiful! A sufficient quantity of synthetic turf is enough to spruce up any environment. The whole event was targeted to all areas of design from architecture, interiors, furniture, jewellary, film, fashion, photography, food and so on. However, the strong bias towards architecture and furniture was felt and understandable seeing how the event organisers are mostly into those fields. The exhibition space was also enhanced by numerous workshops in the various fields scattered in different locations across the island.

MCAST art and design exhibition

Finally it has come....and gone. And it was a huge success. We managed to turn the overcrowded ceramics workshop into an exhibiting place for Graphic design and Interactive media students and here are the results!

Exhibition Illustration

The MCAST art and design exhibition is almost here and I've just finished and printed my illustration that will feature on the front of my allocated door.

Origami Madness

We are currently in the process of setting up the ceramics room at our institute for our end of year exhibition. We chose to go for an origami garden theme calling the area "The Design Aviary".

While googling potential tutorials I came across this funny pieces and works of art!
