THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! PLEASE OH MY GOD SHOW US MORE LIKE THIS!!! Also the zero waste and the upcycling subreddits would LOVE this.
Such a delightful experience! Thanks for sharing it.
I think the word you're searching for is "commercial," not "marketable." There is a market for elaborate and wacky designs - look at you yourself, keeping an eye out for a specific zany sweater and snatching it up when you get the chance. The sweater was sold out because there's a market for it. But it's not a design that cuts across different markets as a more basic design would, increasing its sales potential, so it's not "commercial." I want to add in here that I found your channel through a random UA-cam recommendation of one of your Scotland vlogs, and I've been watching through all your art school vlogs the past few days while I work on my own projects. I noticed that you're not just finishing the assignment as it's written, but you're going above and beyond in your research and design processes to get a full understanding of what you're supposed to learn, and then some, seeking out new ways of doing things. It's remarkable that you put so much thought into developing a theme, and you're doing so many of these projects at a time and giving more than your all to each one, it's no wonder you would start to feel burnt out. I've learned so much about the design process just watching your projects unfold. Your work is exemplary, and I hope to see a full textile line from you one day, or whatever else you end up doing in the craft. I'm also interesting mainly in weaving, and I had no idea there were schools that taught this. I'm looking towards building up my art skills so that I can apply to a program in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!
The coat is lovely - it just needs a bit of cat hair.
As an enjoyer of novelty fabrics, your grumpy flowers design is unique, well-made, and could sell well as a real fabric. Sometimes teachers are wrong and forget that their personal taste doesn't always map onto what's popular/widely considered good.
You can see the William Wallace monument from the Stirling castle! Both have a lot of interesting things to see.
What a charmed life you lead! So love how courageous, adventurous, gifted, kind and warm-hearted you are! Looking forward to continuing to follow where life takes you. 💖 And kudos to Ryan for being such a supportive partner!
winding a warp and threading the loom is what takes the most time. i am weaving a baby blanket i made my warp almost too big.
This was such a fun video! And you've inspired me to start spinning again, starting with one of my drop spindles. I haven't done any spinning for a couple of years! Looking forward to your Convergence video (feel my envy?) and your last semester at FIT.
Nice😊
omg your fabric @ 16:15 is amaaazing 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So glad you enjoyed Scotland and got to see some of our wonderful country and appreciate the history that you find around every corner. Congratulations on completing your course with so much inventive design.
Thank you for sharing. I too am a new weaver and so want to cut my fabric 😖 🥴. I am inspired by your projects and now to plan my challenge. Many thanks from Debs Down Under.
👍🇩🇰
I am so thankful to have found your channel! I live in a fiber desert, so following you has been an inspiration for me, and I will continue to follow you!
Loved seeing your winter adventures,Andrea. Something nice about seeing Christmas in July!! I’m fascinated by the Unicorn tapestries. Didn’t know about that so going to find out more. All the Best from Scotland 🌷
You’re a joyous breath of fresh air 😊
The dog 😂
You have enriched my life. Love ♥️
It's so cool to have followed your whole journey in Scotland! It passed so fast :D
I’ve missed you, Andrea! Looking forward to your upcoming FIT vids.
Thank you for sharing your fun creative and easy going technique. I will definitely give this a go. ❤
You call it Random and compulsive ... l call it Creative and unique. Great video ❤ as you later describe.oh love your assistant ... l have a similar one.
Thank you for taking us with you….we enjoyed your adventures so much.🐑✈️🎀💐😎💥
I missed your videos
Your weaving is so beautiful! Happy creating 💚🧶💚
I died laughing at that FAST train going by! I was not expecting that! What a fun video! Loved your ball outfit. Welcome back!
So glad you popped up on my feed. I've liked and subscribed and will now be time traveling to see your adventure. Happy creating 💚🧶💚
What a joyous video. It’s so good to see you again. I’m glad there are more videos to come - you have really brightened up my life 💐
Oooh, I have been waiting for this video! Finally, thank you for bringing us along and for all the inspiration! I will be waiting for your next video ❣
I feel incredibly honoured to have shared some special moments while you were here in Scotland. Didn't expected to get quite so emotional watching this last vlog though! Can't wait to meet you again on your side of the water x x
Looking forward to the next semester👍🏼🙋🏼♀️
Everything looked so awesome! Your enthusiasm for all things textile is infectious. So smart to have your spinning with you for the train. So impressed with your work ethic. Hugs!
Your videos are so much fun! I missed seeing you. Congratulations on your many accomplishments. I gasped when you said you taught yourself brioche knitting on your train ride! Your cowl is beautiful. And as a rughooker, I appreciated your yarn dyeing! That was a brilliant use of your leftover dyes. Safe trip. I hope you keep uploading content! It’s so worthwhile!❤
This is exactly the video content I needed to start my morning. I've missed seeing new videos but totally understand that life took priority. (Ps Christmas in July totally works 😆)
Oh Andrea! This is such a lovely video. Filled with more beauty, friends, scenery, and of course textiles. I was quite moved by this. What a wonderful experience for you. I have loved joining you in Scotland and I look forward to joining you with your next videos in New York.
What a beautiful homage to the experiences and journey you have been on! I admit I might have gotten a little bit teary eyed seeing the photos of you returning home, everyone who has had a similar experience of being away for an extended time experiencing new things and learning, can understand the joy of returning to your loved ones. I can't wait to see your vlog from the convergence and your final semester in FIT. Give Frankie some treats on our behalf <3
Thank you for sharing. I'm just starting my weaving journey and this is sooo inspiring. Love the jacket on you.
Thanks Andrea for such lovely videos. I have enjoyed watching your creativity! Good luck for the future. X
Andrea congratulation for your success. You deserve it. 😊❤
It’s been fun seeing your joy at being in Scotland and weaving. Glad you shared it with us 😊
Aw so sad that you’re away from Scotland already! I’ve really enjoyed your videos, thanks for sharing! Good luck!
Beautiful and thankyou for sharing 😊❤
You are an inspiration Andrea, you are bubbly and energised in your videos. I enjoyed your video on weaving loom wastage and wove a hanging myself from my odds and ends and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for fresh inspiration.
Thanks for taking us along on the adventure. I loved every minute of it.
Loved watching your study abroad journey and seeing your growth/experimentation. It makes me miss my study abroad time in France learning about Couture Techniques. :)
Wonderful final episode of your Scottish excursion. You were probably so happy to be home but missing your experiences abroad. I'll be watching your final semester and I'm sure it will be awesome! 😊
I've loved your Scottish adventures, and I can't wait to see your upcoming videos.
They were weaving on the tapestry when I visited Stirling Castle about 10 years ago.
I would've loved to go to this textile school where you went in Scotland if I was 45 years younger. It's been fun following you.
