Mindful Pumpkin

Mindful Pumpkin - student project

I want to thank you so much for sharing your process and vulnerability, I really appreciate it and learnt so  much from it. One thing that stuck with me was "Showing up". While puting this collection together I tried to approach my process in this sense and it felt so good. Of course there were moments were I just couldn't see or feel the vision and the sketching part (which i usually skip) was really helpful this time. I also took another of your classes ( another delight for my learning expirience) and so I was able to put this together. 

What I really liked about creating this collection was that I was able to handle a bit better the moments of frustration and I learnt to redirect that and eventually I got to solve it. I am learning lots about myself too. 

I only had one idea in my head: I wanted it to be about pumpkins. Did I know how to draw a pumpkin? No, but I wanted it and I showed up to make it happen. I made a consious effort to try to keep the style and make it a cohesive collection. The only thing I was kinda strict about was to include "dark" patterns which I struggle a lot with. I can't wait to hear any feedback you may have! 

All in all I am very happy with the process, the result and very proud of my pumpkins to be honest. ( My impostor voice wants to scream. but I wanna savour this moment of satisfaction with something that I DID.) 

Thank you again,

M
