Hairdressing class-Learn how to do a fishtail braid

In this first assignment I thought you would like to start off with a fish tail braid. It look's harder than it is but it's actually quite easy. So, lets begin...

 First you will need a hair brush (if you cannot get a American girl brand brush than one from a hair dresser shop for hair extensions will do, as long as it has metal bristles.) You will also need a hair band or two (preferably one that you have not used in you hair, as this might make your doll's hair sticky) and lastly, a lot of patience.

And so grab your doll, a hairbrush and hairbands, and let's get started! I have included a video tutorial on doing a fishtail braid from Doll Diaries.

Once you have done a fishtail braid that you are satisfied with, (this may take a bit of practice), then please email a photo of it to Miss Adeline, by the 15th of November. Your grades will be posted as soon as possible. Have fun!

I hope that the rest of you will be working hard getting them ready!

History Assignment Grades

Dear Students,
Here are the grades which you got for your History Assignment where you had to draw a colonial gown. We had quite a few entries for this one, and they were all beautiful!

This is Cara's one. Isn't it just beautiful? I really like the gathered sleeves.

Wow Janet! Those stripes were very inventive!

I love the Stomacher on yours Kaya!

I like all the pretty decoration on the bodice!

Your gown is perfect for a ball, Melody!

I love the gorgeous floral fabric on this one, Rikki!

Now, you all did really well! Here are your grades:

Cara: I really liked your picture, however, this is meant to be 1774 in America, and those kind of sleeves weren't really seen until a bit later, and I don't really think that they were worn much in America. However, your drawing was still really good, so I give you...............

B+!

Well done, Cara!

Janet: Your picture was really unique! Except that the patchwork skirt and vertical stripes aren't really authentic, but you still got the general idea in the style. I give you...................

C+!

Great job, Janet!

Kaya: I loved your picture! The gown was very authentic, even down to the beautiful detail on the stomacher, and the ruffles on the elbow-length sleeves! I give you.....................

A+

Fantastic effort, Kaya!

Kit: I liked your picture, but unfortunately, the style of the gown you drew wasn't really seen until a bit later. And the accuracy isn't perfect, considering if you put the gown in 1774, then it looks kinda like the sort of dress a servant would wear, but you put decoration on the bodice, and gave the lady a necklace. I still really liked it, but unfortunately it wasn't as accurate as some of the other ones, as it looked like something out of the 1790's to the early 1800's. Here is your grade........................

C!

Very nice, Kit!

Melody: Your gown looks pretty much exactly like something that Felicity or Elizabeth would wear to the Christmas Eve ball! However, the gold fabric and lace isn't really very authentic, as only very rich people would be able to afford it. But.....the green and pink are perfect, and so is the beaded choker! I award you with.....................

A!

Fantabulous job, Melody!

Rikki: I think your dress is as good as Kaya's! This would be a perfect dress for wearing at home, so not too fancy, but still very elegant. The long sleeves would make this an ideal dress to wear in the colder months, and the pleated lace ruffle on the neckline is very authentic, exactly like what they would've worn back then. I will give you...................

A+!

Fabulous picture, Rikki!

Writing Assignment Grades

The grades for the writing assignment are posted

below!

By: Melody Grace

Hi everyone!
My name is Melody Matilda Grace, and I am ten years old, and in level 3 at school. I have three wonderful cousins, their names are: Cara, Janet, and Amy, and they do EIDA too! My Mum's a teacher at EIDA, and she goes by Miss Adeline at school, but her real name is Jessica. I also have a big sister named Ashleigh, and she is twelve. She lives somewhere else at the moment, but I'm hoping she can come to live with us soon, and do EIDA as well. It'd be so much fun!

My favourite subject at school would have to be writing. I want to be a writer someday, and Miss Parker is such a cool teacher! My favourite colours are...well, I'd have to say every colour in the rainbow, because they all look so gorgeous together! I like doing lots of things: Ballet, Ukrainian dancing, tree-climbing, jumping on the trampoline, and so much more! My favourite season is Summer, because I like the warm weather, and of course the Australian Christmas holidays!

I really like dressing up in pretty clothes, especially if I'm putting on a concert! And I LOVE shopping! I really hope I can make lots of new friends at school!

And that's me, Melody!

Dear Melody,

Your essay shows great promise,

and I love the cutesy details. You show

that you are serious about writing, and

I think you will be a great writer!

Oh, and practicing my cartwheels, handstands, and making up dances. My favourite things are horses, books, warm, sunny, bright days, and other animals.
