Skinny LaMinx!

I have just sent a message to Heather Moore the owner of Skinny LaMinx Cape Town. Fingers crossed she will answer my questions to help with my Final Major Project.

I cant believe in a few months I will no longer be a student oh my goodness scary thought!!

Latest work!

Seems like I have slightly neglected my blog so I thought I would upload my latest work for you all to see!


I've been working on a henna tattooing project and thought I would use one of my work sheets to jazz up one of my designs and this is my very first draft of it.
The whole project is based on owls, to go with the older and wiser idea of getting a tattoo that is none permanent.

I have yet to work into him a bit more so watch this space!!

Variations.

Tomorrow I hang my first exhibition tomorrow.

Hope lots of people go and see this exhibition, everyone has done some amazing stuff for this project!

"This body of work showcases 13 different approaches to a project brief titled 'Inside Outside'. it was a seven week project based on mixed media in which students developed ideas to suit their specialist areas. Being a mixed media project a variety of techniques were explored in studio. These included embroidery, illustration and digital imaging. This project opened eyes to new ways of working and the students worked independently to create a final piece suited to their specialist area. This will be the first external exhibition by these students who have curated and hung the work themselves. The exhibition opens on the 4th February and runs until the 23rd February at The Crown Gallery, Lonsdale Street Carlisle."

Endless Talent!

I have to say I love cooking and baking! And this beautiful cake has to go down as one proud moment in my life!

Sad I know but it looks great and tasted even better.

Personal/Private Work

I have done a few of my own 'private' drawings, I have done these to try and get my drawing skills up to a higher level these are two of the image I like most.

Ceramics - Year1

Last year (1st college year) we did a ceramics project on the brief of 'Pods'. With our own ideas combined with techniques we were shown we had to make a vessel, My theme was farmhouse style. I used some child size boots to create a sprig of the bottom of the boot showing the tread and all the details.

I tried to create my boots using a slab of clay but then through experimenting with texture and pattern I decided to use a coiling technique which I thought looked more rustic. I chose farmhouse colours to fit with my theme.

I was very happy with the end result.

2011 - Summer Play scheme.

In the summer holidays 2011 my mother, her friend Gwen, myself and some of the staff from The Market Hall Wigton did 4 play scheme days only a few hours for each session, enough to make a mess though. We had some really good outcomes.

My 'station' was making peacocks out of a hand print, messy and fun for all ages... including me!

I even had a granddad of one of the children who sat for 45 minutes making his peacock the perfect peacock!

We also made masks and finger puppets from very simple designs that were given to the children, they were amazing young children with great imaginations and although it was very exhausting at first we had a great time!
