Hi, my name is Promise. My favourite subjects are Art and Maths. I am picture smart which means that I learn thru pictures. When I am not at school I like to read, play games and when i' ve had a really long day I like to go home and lie down for a rest. I like to play the guitar and the piano. I also have a great interest in arts and craft which is one of the reasons why art is one of my favourite subjects. Sometimes I like to ride my bike to the park.

After morning tea we went strait to work but instead we tided the garden by tacking the weeds out and growing new plants.Soon after we got to eat what the cooking groups had made.The cooking groups made Asian colsour a nice salad which had the beans that picked and for dessert some whipped cream sponge cakes and the berries that we picked from the garden.That day on garden to table I had learnt that the smaller means are better than the bigger ones because the big ones are hard and chewy and the small ones are soft and nice.

Though British fashion designer Alexander McQueen is no longer with us, his legacy continues to live on. It was quite apparent in Kate Middleton's elegant [|ivory and white satin wedding dress] designed by his former assistant Sara Burton and now in this gummy bear dress that was crafted as a unique tribute to the designer for the inaugural cover of //Twelv //, a magazine dedicated to fashion, music, art and culture, that made its debut in May 2012.

The brainchild of the magazine's editor - fashion designer //Hissa Igarashi // and his assistant //Sayuri Marakumi, // the stunning gown was inspired by Alexander McQueen's// 'Parrot Dress' //, a vibrantly colorful gown that met with the approval of even the most ruthless fashion critics when it was unveiled by the designer, as part of his Spring/Summer collection in 2008.

As you can imagine creating this gummy bear replica was no easy task. The two designers began by building a dress frame using steel wire, which they then covered with a sheet of vinyl **.** After that began the painstaking work of hand-gluing each and every one of the 50,000 pieces of candy in a perfect rainbow colored order, a task that took them about three weeks.

As you can see, the end result was a stunning piece of art that weighed a whopping 220 pounds and took three men to lift. While not quite ideal for a party, it did look good enough to devour!
