Perspex safety screen.

As a nail technician, Today I decided to manufacture my Owen, perspex safety screen. I made this safety screen to protect my self when I'm busy with my clients. When I was making my perspex screen, used sawing and drilling as jewellery techniques that I learned at school. I found it easy to make my Owen safety screen rather than buying the expensive one. It was a long process to find get perspex, I went to all warehouse near my place but they all didn't have the perspex. I keep on asking my self how come does the warehouse doesn't have perspex, while it on popular demand? In every store that I went to, they keep on saying they don't have it because people don't buy perspex. I really enjoy every moment while was busy making my safety screen. This screen is going to protect me from getting Coronavirus. I'm ready to make some extra cash so that I can go to school as we moving to Level3 as the country. In the figures below, are the pictures showing the process of making my safety screen.

I was about to do measurements.

After making my frame by using woods.

After making my frame, I went to the table to see that it fit on the table.

I decided to put colour on the frame.

This how I will be sitting, as you can see i have gloves on the right-hand side and the is a black plastic bottler of my sanitize on the left-hand side.

This how my client's hands will show on the safety screen, as we will be facing each other. The screen will protect us, as we will be facing each other, just in case if she cough or sneezes due to the chemicals that I used for manicure and pedicure.

Casual and Chic Fashion style

CASUAL STYLE became more popular in the western culture of the 1960s. If you wearing this style you look more relaxed and occasional. Casual style is a combination of elegance with comfort and t typically consists of jeans, T-shirt and cardigans. If a woman like the casual look, her wardrobe would follow casual fashion. Woman tend to keep it simple and match the accessories with whatever simple clothing they are wearing.

In figure 1, a lady wearing a white t-shirt with a denim jean. The woman rocking a casual look with black shades and she looked relaxed by putting her hand on the pocket. I like the way she matches her stiletto shoes with the handbag. What I have noticed about casual style, is that women don't put many accessories, they only put bangles, earrings or a watch.

Fashion fabric.

FASHION

As was busy looking at fashion, I noticed some few things that, I need to look at when I'm talking about fashion style. Fashion is a popular style of clothing. If you looking at fashion you need to include hair, makeup, jewellery and clothing. Clothes really sever many purposes: It protects our skin from insect bites, rough surface, protects the skin from cold and protects our skin from the rash caused by the plants. The clothes that we wear, are made up of different types of material. Looking at types of materials that made me realised that everyone has a different taste when it comes to style.

Types of materials.

Cotton comes from the plant, it easily to stretches and loses its shape.

Lady Gaga wearing artistic garments made by Nicola Formichetti who is a fashion director and fashion editor. He is most known as artistic director of the Italian fashion label Diesel. On the pictures below, it Lady Gaga rocking her own style which is designed by Nicola Formichetti. What interested me about these outfits, they all look unique.

Lady Gaga was wearing a meat dress, designed by Nicola Formichetti. This outfit is never forgettable because nobody ever come to the (VMA) awards wearing a meat dress but only Gaga. She was brave enough to wear that raw meat outfit from head to toes. Even the rose-red lipstick matches the colour of the meat. She has a small piece of meat on her blonde wig with a highlight of aquamarine blue. The meat on her shoes is wrapped with a cream white para code.

Nicola Formichetti style is very different from other fashion designers because he follows her vision and he also makes whats his fans ask for. Looking at this dress below, he used blue see-through fabric because blue is a cool colour and it blends with that black human hair design on the shoulder. Lady Gaga is wearing a blond wig and it matches her skin colour. Even her round black shades, look more elegant it matches with the colour of the outfit. Most of the dresses worn by Lady Gaga look more dramatic. What I have noticed about Gaga, the dresses that she wears, it draws attention to people. This dress was not meant to be worn, it was just a statement piece made by Nicola Formichetti, but Lady Gaga was interested to rock the dress on the red carpet.

Fashion and Jewellery.

Arline Fisch was born in Brooklyn, New York on 21 August 1931. She is an American artist. Arline Fisch studied silversmithing at school of art and crafts in 1966-67. She was inspired by Egyptian jewellery at the Metropolitan Museum of art. In the 1960s she started exploring weaving, knitting and crocheting a lightweight metal wire, then she introduced weaving techniques into a piece of jewellery.

Arline Fisch is one of my favourite artists that makes fashionable contemporary jewellery. If you look at figure one below, it one of my jewellery piece. It's a bracelet and glove, it made up of copper and fine silver wire. The way she used a textile technique allows a lightness of structure. The major function of her jewellery piece is to make the person who wears it looks more elegant and beautiful.
