AA Funkyness

Here are some cool temporary pieces that have been round the AA and are designed by some of the students in the school. The pavilion outside has been dismantled now, but I had my lunch on the cool polystyrene chair today. (photos from my phone - so apologise for the bad quality)

Hussein Chalayan

Tres cool retrospective at the Design Museum that I visited today . His dresses with Lasers and LED lights where amazing but I wasnt able to get a very good picture of them.

A frustrating one . . .


Not in the most relaxed mood whilst painting this one due to some starbucks coffee - so it wasnt quite the same calming experience as last weeks!

Heavenly Heatherley

Heres my first oil painting from last friday . . .  not that exciting, but an acceptable first attempt!

Arts and Crafts . . .

I made these last year, in an attempt to lower my spending on fashion - just ended up spending loads on materials, Hopefully I shall make some different variations of the bag (possibly a round clutch or a coin purse) I made them all my hand so perhaps I shall invest in a sewing machine at some stage.

My First Post . . .

Wahay, I am officially a geek! Not only do I now have some new bookish glasses and spend an unsavory amount of time in the library, but here I am writing my first blog. If you know me you will be aware that I am definitely not the most eloquent user of the english language. Do not fear, however, as I shant write too much - instead I shall use this blog to document my creative outings through photographs. 

So what can you expect? . . . well at the moment I am dabbling in a few things: Firstly, I have started oil painting once a week and had my first class last friday. I did enjoy it, but was a little uninspired by the subject matter (the same granny flowers that Rachie has on her last blog) hopefully I will find something exciting to paint soon , so watch this space. As well as this I am trying to understand photography better (still dont get the whole ISO thing) and have just bought a fisheye lense for my newly fixed camera. 

In all I am treating this year as a bit of a creative experiment/discovery so expect some random bits and bobs too.

Right guys thats it, in the words of Gordon Ramsay . . . First Blog - Done!
