Cup Cakes

Jude's and I main task during our time in scenic was to replicate a cupcake fabric on a larger scale. The original fabric was chosen by the director of 'Hansel and Gretel' to be used for the witches apron, however, the fabric was too expensive to buy and the cupcake weren't big enough. The task was daunting at first, we had to scale up the cupcake to 12cm, cut down the cupcake designs on the fabric from 19 to 7, mix the colours, cut the stencils out, grid up the fabric, come up with a continuos and appealing pattern by the end of the week!



To make the stencils, we used an ingenious idea; freezer paper.
It was really easy to use, basically you draw your design out on the paper (its actual use is to wrap up food to put in freezer!) and then cut it out with a scalpel knife, however we had to cut out tons ... well not tons but over a hundred! I learnt a lot during the task such as: learning to work to a deadline as it had to be finished in a week, i learnt how to use freezer paper, to be patient and careful as if you didn't wait for the paint to dry things could easily get mucked up and I learnt that team work really pays off - Jude and I had each had a different role in the process which made the whole process go so much quicker!
