Half way..

I can't get over the fact we only have six weeks until we break up for christmas- ohmygawwdd!
I'm starting to think my tutor's might by right when they said this year will fly by... I've been trying to think of what to do with my life after I've graduated.. Masters? Interning? Teach abroad until I know for sure? God knows... Maybe I'll just take my plan B and become a crazy cat lady 50 years earlier than I'd planned..

Anyway, the majority of last week was spent putting off writing my dissertation proposal, however I did squeeze in some time to paint and experiment with line a little more... Oh and I thought I'd include a- kind of- outfit post, which is basically just me showing you why I don't often make outfit posts... I find I always resort to the most basic black clothes in my wardrobe, because literally everything I wear to uni gets covered in paint or dye, so sadly I don't really own many exciting clothes... crryy. 

P.s Please ignore the ends of my hair, the blonde I had put it about a year ago still seems to be fighting it's way back...

Week5? Week6?

I thought I was well overdue an update on my Final major project (I was working on my dissertation last week, so didn't have an awful lot to update), but I've been in the studio for the past two days and I think things have developed a little further... 

To put it briefly, I'm now beginning to focus on elements of my research I think are the strongest, and starting to push it further. At the moment I'm really enjoying different weights of line- delicate pencil contrasting with strong, sharp linear edges. I've also started including more organic structures after buying some plastic/net tubing last week (a whole 16 metres of it in fact)... Drawing from little 3D structures such as the little wire squares I threw together when I was bored have actually proven really beautiful, so I think the majority of my idea will probably come from "happy accidents".

Anyway, I'm really enjoying how it's coming along at the moment, and my tutors seem really enthusiastic about it as well which is really encouraging!

I'm about to throw a load of gothic makeup at my face for halloween, so I'll leave you with some photos of my studio..

Little studio update..

I've kept my promise and have been documenting my research development for the second week- I've started drawing more from my initial research and have begun to narrow it down to just the key pieces that really inspire me. 
I think you can tell by the photos that my colour palette already seems pretty determined, although I've been debating introducing some flashes of brighter colour in there somewhere.
For now though my tutor has just told me to continue playing and not to be afraid to be bold... 

Enjoy for now!..
