Thank you so much for watching this video and supporting my channel - it truly means the world to me 💕
It's been a while since I've commented and I just caught up on your last three vlogs, so here's my backlog of comments:
- That jacket is AMAZING!! And your parents are adorable.
- That everything bagel had me really missing NYC, that sounded so freaking delicious.
- Frankie is the cutest and also most beautiful.
- Congrats on making it to the end of the semester! I'm very impressed at your ability to manage your time as a student and still do fun things.
- Feedback: I love your editing style, I love the music, I love the mix of talking to the camera and voiceovers (these were great to weave in a million ends and sew buttons onto a cardigan I just finished, when you do time lapses it just felt like getting things done together), I'd love to see more saori weaving videos in your free time.
Actually I want to add that I originally discovered your channel when you were posting weaving videos, and when you first started posting FIT vlogs I thought I might not watch them, but I've truly loved following along for the ride. I think it's a testament to your very easy going and energetic style, you come across very genuinely which goes a long way to building trust with an audience.
These comments mean SO much to me, thank you so so much!! 🥹💕 I am happy to be your crafting companion ❤️ And it especially means a lot to me that you came for the weaving and still decided to stick around. I was worried about suddenly transitioning my channel from strictly weaving content to vlogs, and I'm glad both can still be interesting. I definitely want to make more weaving videos when I have the time!! Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and for your support.
Here’s feedback for you, Andrea: I love your energy. You are consistently cheerful, upbeat, and inviting even when you’re worn to a nub. I like how personal and real you are-I feel like you’re talking to me…your ‘friend.’ I find your videos interesting and informative-I like seeing how you do your projects. The fact that you carry me along throughout your day-to Blick, to get takeout, on dates with Ryan…all of that is so real and makes me feel a part of your day. In short, keep up the great work!
I love Ryan’s sense of humour.
Isn't he something 🤣❤️
I enjoy watching your vlog and vicariously experiencing your classes. I admire your risk-taking and boldness with projects. The workload seems immense. Today I realized I also like it when you do chats like at the end of this video. I'm looking forward to next semester!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🥰🥰🥰 I definitely want to work on slowing down and chatting with the camera more.
your parents are SO cute!! so supportive. touched me...🥲
Aren't they so funny?? 🤣❤️
Feedback. I enjoy very much your assignments. You talk about your thought process in designing. I like the drawing painting cad etc steps in the development. We get to share your life as a student. Also your personal free time activities. Museums food nyc opportunities friends. And your upbeat positive outlook I’m a creative fiber plus art person so I find it all very interesting. Thanks for your generosity of sharing this special time in your life. I wish I could go back to school at 69!!!!!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment 🥹💕 I'm so glad you like my videos and that I can share this experience with you!
I am also a textile design student. I am not good at English, but I get bright energy when I watch your video. ☺️
That means a lot to me, thank you 🥹💕
Your final presentations were really exceptional. Very creative and cohesive. Have a merry Christmas
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me 🥹💕 Merry Christmas to you, too!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! I really like how you give your artist's statement every time you present your final collections to us in video :~) it's really professional and interesting to hear your final assessment of the works! Do you have plans for all your final weaving samples once you graduate? They would make a really awesome patchwork project for nostalgia
Thank you so much for your kindness 🥹💕 I also appreciate the feedback! I'm not sure what I want to do with those samples, but I'll most likely have to make them into some kind of a professional presentation for finding jobs first 😅 Afterwards I totally might patchwork them, that would be SO fun!! Isn't he absurd LOL and happy holidays to you, too!!
Personally I think what you are creating with your YT videos is amazing. I would love to see some more timelaps of your creating your work instead of jumping to the end product (I like your long videos). I love it when you talk to the camera as we get to see more of your personality and I've been loving your more personal vlog days with your family and Ryan. Overall I'd say keep doing what you are doing, I just want to see more 🤩 So proud of you smashing this semester. Have a Merry Christmas and I can't wait for your next video x
Thank you so much for your kindness and for your very thoughtful feedback 🥹💕 I often totally forget to film because I'm super invested in what I'm doing, and then I'm like "aww no, well at least let me get a shot of the finished thing" 😅😅😅 I'm hoping to slow down a bit next semester and take more time to document things. It means a lot to me that you want to see more!! Thank you again, and happy holidays 🥰
You are so stinkin' talented! Thanks for letting us attend FIT with you, it's an amazing journey. And, I am so jealous that you are going to have such wonderful documentation of your years at school! Please keep us up-to-date with your career after you graduate.
I have very much enjoyed going to FIT with you. Youve worked so hard! I have enjoyed learning more about New York oh and the food! I think I enjoyed your summer vlog more because of all the saori weaving and the sunshine. Not much of that in UK at the moment.
Thank you so much for your kindness 🥰 I DEFINITELY miss the sunshine of San Diego, too!!
Congrats on finishing another semester! I joined as a viewer in the last few months and totally binge watched your school adventures. I love seeing the creative ways you approach your assignments. Since you did ask for feedback, I think it would be nice to sometimes get a little more explanation of things. For example, in the beginning of the video you mentioned the loom was dropping harnesses. What does that mean, and what does it do to the weave? As someone who sews a lot in their spare time and is the daughter of a quilter, I've seen a lot of fabric, but I've never known much about the fabric/textile design process. Your videos are a glimpse into that world, and I'm having a lot of fun learning from you. Thank you for sharing with us, and may your winter break be restful and recharging.
I really appreciate this feedback! Sometimes I'm not sure whether my explanations are boring or not 😅 When I said the harnesses were dropping, it basically means that the loom isn't lifting things the way it's supposed to. It's designed to lift certain harnesses, which hold threads in a specific pattern, which allows me to weave a pattern... And instead of lifting properly, the harnesses would lift and then would literally crash down on me halfway through me passing the shuttle through, which was so frustrating because it would mess up my pattern! It's some kind of a mechanical issue that was beyond my understanding so I would have to call my professor for help 😭 I hope that made sense! Thank you so much for your kindness 🥹💕 Happy holidays!!
Your process is enjoyable. I’m not sure how helpful responding a year after the fact is, but I enjoy you being you. Hope this helps in the future.
What a successful semester, you are really smashing it! I would say on the whole your videos are excellent, but I would like to hear more about your creative process. In the Netflix Chef's Table series they go into depth about a chef;s background, personal experiences, inspirations behind their dishes and it is so interesting to hear about their creative journeys. So maybe more details about how you make creative decisions. Like, why did you choose to discard certain designs?, what draws you to certain color palates?, etc. Your marine science background obviously one area...maybe talk about that more. I think finding the intersection between your passions and that informing your designs is fascinating. I love nerdy science too, so if you ever want to go into technical details that is totally fine by me.
I SO appreciate this feedback, thank you!! I'm always trying to find a balance between explaining/over-explaining/under-explaining/totally forgetting to explain or film anything because I'm too focused on the work 🤣 I'm hoping to slow down a bit next semester and to work on these things. Thank you for always being so kind and supportive, it really means so much to me 🥹💕
no question, you are very hardworking
Thank you 🥹
Thank you for letting us follow along these last two weeks, even though it was obviously a really busy time. I love seeing your creative process and being there while you develop a cohesive idea that encompasses different media. The glee on your face when it comes together makes it so awesome! Have a lovely winter break and a happy festive season. :)
Thank you so much for your kindness and for the feedback, I really appreciate it 🥹💕
Another thumb for your counter! Great job on the video. Ryan is cracking me up. The scarf looks like something that could be washed and hung for blocking, as it's large and heavy enough to make its own shape. Love the spoopy ware. What attracted me to your videos is the way you do things. I will never be a NY resident or a student in fashion school. I love going where you go and seeing how your life is going to progress. We share a lot of interests. I've been to a local sheep festival but seeing you go to such a huge venue was amazing! I love how your brain works and how you use it to live your life. Keep it up. I'll be back :)
Thank you so much for your kindness, this means a lot to me! 🥹💕 Happy holidays!!
I agree that glass is difficult to draw and my jaw dropped when the clip switched to the reveal. You did very well with that haha Congrats on finishing the semester and happy holidays!!
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me 🥹💕 Happy holidays!!
Thanks for the podcast. Just catching up with what you’ve been doing with your textile design.
I really love watching your creative journey and am very impressed with the amount of hard work, and the finished projects. I look forward to more videos in the future.
I have so enjoyed your vlogs! It’s as if I’m attending FIT with you! I discovered your YT channel when you made your Saori inspired coat. I hope you have time to create more Saori weaving videos❤️ Keep sharing. You are an incredible artist🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you, that means a lot to me!! 🥹💕 I really want to make more Saori weaving content as soon as I have the free time!!
Love your channel. Fascinating and fun and I love being taken on your journeys
Hi Andrea, from Spain. I love your videos as they are. Please keep doing them ❤️
Congratulations on finishing another successful semester! 👏
I love that your parents bought your bomber jackets, soooo cute. I think your videos are just right, will think about if I have any more feedback. Have a great Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year 2023! 😊🎉
Thank you SO much! Happy holidays!! 🥹💕
Well done petal! Good work this semester 🎉
Also. Your folks in the bomber jackets 🥹🥲
Thank you so much for your kindness and for the kofi donation 🥹💕🥹💕🥹💕
Your parents are the cutest! The jackets are amazing!
Aren't they wonderful?? Those pictures made me tear up when they sent them - I had no clue they were going to buy any jackets 🥹 And thank you!!
Andrea I have only found your TH-cam videos a couple of days ago and nearly caught up and really enjoy them especially your school ones are fantastic showing what you have to do very interesting please think about having your mug made up I am sure weavers would buy it. I love it but can’t buy it because I am in Australia and postage theses days is often triple the cost of the item from the US but all your videos have given me so much information and joy to watch,I am a colour person so the bright colours are wonderful your Halloween collection was fantastic your bugs,bioluminescence,brilliant like you I don’t think your tropical quite got what you were after but hard when you were doing the bioluminescence alongside it ,keep up all your videos they are wonderful
Loved your Halloween set!
Thank you so much 🥹💕
Happy holidays! Have fun with your personal projects and try to find some time to rest! And love your videos just the way they are
Thank you so much 🥹💕 I'm hoping to start a fun project + TH-cam video tomorrow and I'm stoked! Happy holidays!!
''the more you look at it the weirder it gets'' isn't that exactly what you'd want with a Halloween collection? 😂
This is true!! 🤣❤️
I love your double weave sample. Gorgeous. Mechanical dobby loom?
Thank you so much! Yes, these are AVL Compu-Dobby Looms 👍
@@AndreaAlexander Is there any way you can get to do more weaving while you are at FIT? It seems a terrible shame to have all those amazing looms and not be able to somehow use them in one of your up coming courses.
@@janemorrow6672 I know, it's a shame!! Next semester I'm taking a jacquard weaving course, which I believe is all on computers (and we then send our files out to be woven), and then I have a "thesis" collection where I can use whatever medium I want - so I'll probably try my best to figure out how to incorporate weaving into that!
@@AndreaAlexander That sounds great, Andrea. Some very exciting content for your channel and your weaving subscribers.
Why do I want that glass as a print on fabric?
I love that idea! 🤣❤️
