Walks with Cookie

My dog Cookie.

I honestly love walking my dog Cookie. The places we adventure to bring smile to my face. I take a quiet a few photos as well, some great places out there went you take a walk. I used to walk all the time with my Grandad when I was a child and I continue today to walk everyday to some place new.

Iron Fist

My shoes practically are the most beautiful piece of art I own and wear on my feet. Especially my Iron Fist heels! These beautys are the best things I will ever buy. My little family is slowly growing. From floral prints to lacey prints these heels cover any taste a girl can have, they just have a punk rock kick to them all, which i love! These could beat having any pair of Prada heels any day of the week.

Taken Away

 As i visited Manchester Gallery, these three statues caught my eye. I seem to have taken a very big liking to them as well. The feelings I have towards them is incredible. I couldn't even describe it if you asked me to. To me these are practically enjoyable to look at, has many meanings to them.

Tests, Old to New

Gustav Klimt, The Kiss, is the image I'm working from. Creating, mind maps and research bubbles to work form always helps me. Doing tests from these mind maps and research is what get you to your end piece. A little doddle could be a huge inspiration for your piece. Keep an open mind and go for it.

My Work Station

This is where I work and I love it it a table, a wall and a board. You can surround your self in everything you need. Work and tests get stuck on the wall and soon me and my station partner will be putting up more inspiring things for us.

My side of the board.

Me and my station partner Amy should get an award for messiest desk, we love how me and her just get on with work and its all there no fuss. 

Mandala influences (New from Old)

I love the inspiration from the spiritual symbol of Mandalas, since doing a piece of work with my assistant tutor it has now become part of my current experiment and test. It amazes me that people use it as an aid to meditate and focus on the centre of yourself. To create a Mandala you began to doodle from your original image and draw without thinking. Just draw.

From these doodles, you photocopy them, enlarge cut, work into more and then arrange them in a circle form like the Mandala composition.

Although mine isnt a circle, it can still be classed as a Mandala.

My Room

 My room is a place I work, a place I create my ideas from. The place I never want to leave yet always have to. Your room its self is a piece of artwork and a part of your mind. Currently doing my first unit back in college for my second year of art. So much to do, so little time. My room is the heart of me, most of the time.

Waking up in the morning in October to a blue sky is rare but I happen to get a photo yesterday before it rained. 

Finally had the chance to place all my wall ornaments up now. Rooms coming together nicely. Being a typical art student and photographing everything in a strange way. Vintage mirror was a great grab at £10 on a to-buy-sell site! My metal wall signs that you can see reflected in the mirror were £10 each at a Vintage New-to-Old shop local to me. I do love my Pin-Up girls on the wall though.

Got curtains up for the fist time since we moved house last year in October. Also its the first time in eight years that I've had curtains up! I absolutely love them, pale cream with a silver circular line pattern printed on them repeatedly. Floor length and black out ones too! I feel it just pulls my room altogether now.
