Laser Brain.

My friend Katie and I have been in the studio rather a lot recently. We cope by having things around us that make us happy, here is some insight into what we get up to when we aren't slaving away...

Here's an update on the shelf. We have spent a lot of time tidying and organising lately. I've found that I really can't be very productive at all with a messy desk, so I've vowed to tidy it at the end of every day. So far I have...
I've also gained a LOT of cotton threads in the most beautiful colours!

Having Star Wars on in the background and repeating everything they say at each other has kept us entertained, and put us in the right mood to work hard!
Some 2D work is coming up in the next post...

No Words Left Now

Written my dissertation. Handed it in. Feels very good. I'm finding it hard now to string together viable... even passable sentences! The vocabulary side of my brain (I don't know whether that is my left or right side?) needs to have a break from essays now. Perhaps even for the rest of my life. This is how I presented my thesis:

(Yes, that is my cooker)

I chose to sew my own cover, which I did with black thread onto canvas, I wanted it bound by hand rather than professionally. I'd like to say thank you to my boyfriend Tom who talked me through bookbinding step by step > THANK YOU xx! I printed the essay on an inkjet printer onto 130gsm cartridge paper. I am very very happy with how it looks. And now I'm going to forget about it and move on.

I've got a silk screen workshop on Thursday because I've never done it before for some reason. So I'm hoping then to print up my own fabric to finish off a dress that I've got in my space, looking sad and dejected. That'll be the first costume of my show-piece then! I've got loads of other ideas that I've been trying to keep track of whilst I've been essay-ing, and now I just need to make them all! I think today I'm going to sort out and organise all of these ideas by doing some drawing and such like.

I hope you're all having a lovely week so far. Laterz

Oh, Darling, The Moon!

The moon has been amazing this week. I think I'm definitely a night creature, because it doesn't make me act strange (as a full moon is supposed to) - it makes me feel happy and amazed.

And a bit romantic

Desertion

I'm really very sorry that it has been forever since I've posted anything on here. Its been Christmas, and I've been doing Christmassy things. I've also been writing my thesis. This is just a short post to tell you that the deadline for it is tomorrow. So I will catch up with you properly soon :).

Sorry for deserting my blog. Love you

Thinking to the future.

I thought this just looked really nice. I took it whilst I was waiting for my friend Katie. It was too cold to get out of the car to walk all the way to her front door. So I took a picture instead.

You're in my soul.

This is some stuff from weeks past. Coming up is some stuff from Saturday present. Sorry for the quality - I'm trying to understand my scanner at the moment.
