At first, I found it really strange working with someone elses' design and I felt very pressured, which caused me to panic and mess up a few times. But Marianne was extremely patient and had no problem with letting me practice on her outside of lesson time. The thing that I really struggled with initially was the french plait- at one point i tried to simplify it and change it to a regular plait as I got so frustrated with it. But I went home and practiced it over and over again and eventually I was able to do it with confidence. As I spent so long practing the plait, I didnt spend enough time on the bun. Buns are usually really simple, but as Marianne has so much hair it was actually really hard to tuck it under the hair rat neatly. I was generally happy with my execution of her design, but if we were to do this again I would definitely make sure I look at the design as a whole, rather than focus on a tricky part and devote my whole time to it. I feel that I would have been a lot happier with the final outcome if I had done this.
As a designer, I really loved combining my new skill set with Elizabethan and contemporary influences. Taking elements from the two very different influences enabled me to create something quite quirky and unusual. It was definitely a challenge as up until now I had no experience with hair, but I genuinely really enjoyed it. If I was to do this again, I would play around with some decorations- But overall, I am really quite proud of my design.
