I guess its time for a post, considering my last one was over four weeks ago, oops.
My lack of posting to this blog is due to 3 reasons
1. University has been so time consuming and constant that I get back to my flat and have so much work to catch up on after a full day its been exhausting.
2. I've been floating in between really ill and pretend ill/hungover for the last few weeks which means when I got out of that I was swamped with the amount of work I'd missed.
3. Any spare time has been taken up with watching project runway season 14 which I have become obsessed with.
rather than fill this post with fake apologies I'm going to play catch up with some of the photos I've taken since I started uni which hasn't been as much as I thought, I think I've entered a more zen phase of only needing one photo of one thing rather than eight minimum.
Crystals from when I had the time to spend all day lying around in bed - I have mixed feelings about crystals, while I'm not out there posting rubbish how crystals have healed them or brought them good luck, I do feel quite comforted having a little gem hanging round with me. I think I just like being near minerals.
The posted or an amazing film me and my friend Efa ventured out into the darkest depth of bristol to find the cinema for, then sat in a freezing cold theater while they tried to get the original film reels to work until they put on the digital version. While we were waiting for the film the second time around the poster may have fallen into Efa's bag. By accident of course.
A photo that I'm not really sure I should post, it may be a little problematic since were not really supposed to take photo during life drawing but as you cant see the model's face or any exposed areas it may be? I just love the composition so much and how she looks like a painting next to my drawing.
It's the little things that make us happy and finally staying in a room that has good lighting has brought me such joy.
A photo of a very atmospheric lamp along the harbor when me and my flatmate went for drinks one evening.
More light streaming through the window and highlighting my messy room, it's not my fault I have no real system for washing.
A sketchbook page for a shirt design
I call this - What's a girl to do while her sheets are being washed? Why obviously take selfies on the mattress because the lighting is good.
My Girl Powa sewing machine with its Rookie stickers and the dead flowers I had been using for heat transfer prints in uni but I snuck home in my sketch book to decorate the wall behind my desk.
Living on your own can be a little lonely at times, it's easy to spend a day in bed or in your room with no one to pull you out, that's why I'm glad I have Efa, who I may have only known her for two years real time it's actually been centuries in spirit years. One boring Saturday afternoon she texted me to meet her on the park at the top of the hill near where I live, signing off 'treasure hunt, Go!' So I raced up the hill to find her and up a tower where she was waiting and we looked over the city and tried to find Wales. Also we discovered we are both vaguely psychic and may be the charmed ones.
My wonderfully creepy tongue out heart iron on transfer I bought the other day from a fabric shop that I really want to stick on a t-shirt.
And this photo that was taken during my work break today, me posing with my brand new (and by that I mean new to me) charity shop trousers, the first proper pair of floaty baggy artsy fartsy trousers I own with a wonderful art deco fan print all over them. I feel like a classy circus performer.
I wanted to show of the trousers so much I threw my leg up onto the sink and tried to get in my hair and glasses as well. I can't see myself ever doing a normal outfit pose.
I've also been hard at work trying to win the sheet magazine Christmas wrapping paper competition, which ever 10 designs get the most votes is shown in sheet magazine and will be used as wrapping paper for urban outfitters. All you need to do it vote like mad for me!!
just press the little thumbs up underneath my design and I might have a chance of wining! You can vote on different devices as well so please help a champ like me out!
