etsy

I am hoping to put new work up on etsy to sell because it seems we are slowly running out of money, and I dont really have time to get a job yet because of this final major project (i want it to be good) so I thought I would see if people would like to buy some drawings and collages of mine. Money could also go towards my end of year show. :)
Anyway, will hopefully be organising things soon.

How To Help | DressageDisgrace

How To Help | DressageDisgrace

This is really important to me, so please even if you are not a horsey person could you sign the petition. (you dont have to donate after if it asks you to)

Basically some dressage riders are using techniques to train and ride their horses which means that the horses chin is touching its chest. This creates breathing problems, and "blue tongue" and other problems with their head. You can see that the horse surcomes to forced helplessness. This is rediculous as this is not how horses hold themselves naturally.

I dont know why people want their horses to look like this when horses hold their heads beautifully naturally.
We need to make a fuss so that this trainig method is banned!!!!!!
There is a petition link on the site so please please sign it.
Thank you

Thank you for reading my angry ramble. :)

keeping it alive!

I have decided not to neglect this blog now, as I quite like it and want to keep it alive.

I have been mega busy with uni work. Getting into my extended major project now. quite exciting. Im doing a childrens book, which I have written! I hope to enter it into the macmillian childrens book competition in April.

Ive got quite alot to do before the project deadline! like make a WHOLE childrens book! buuuttt its my last proper project of uni, and I want to get a good mark for it, so I need to work hard!
I am going to be making my website soon for my illustration work. So that will be exciting! and i hope to put some work up on etsy to sell :)

Also starting to think about work after uni! scary, but exciting!

rubbish at blogging!

I have been rubbish at posting on here since I started back at uni. must mean that i am super busy! :)

just started a new blog which will act as my learning log for my FINAL PROJECT! eek.

so this blog will most likely remain neglected untill in finish uni now.

Back to work

Today was the first day back to uni.. final year!
I am looking forward to getting into the projects, and organising our final show, and getting involved and making the most of my last year at uni.

Not looking forward to the essay though. :(

Will be keeping this blog updated with my uni work and plans.

Annoyingly, I think I've caught my boyfriends cold. bummer.

Good to Know project

Please go over to Pikaland and take a look at the 'good to know' zine. THIS ISSUE: Do you think that artists need to have degrees/qualifications from art school in order to be one? Did you study art? Does it matter?
I participated in this issue! You can find my opinion on the topic, and even a piece of my work in there. YAY!
There are so many great opinions on this topic. What would your answer be?

Please go check it out.

(the pattern above is a photocopy of some wallpaper i collected. Im going to make a file today with all the patterns i have got all over the place, so when I need them, I can find them!)

silly scales

I have made some bread, a loaf and some cottage rolls. I am waiting for them to bake in the oven at the moment, and I am hoping that they come out ok, which I am doubtfull of, as my weighing scales are quite indecisive when weighing things.
Fingers crossed for my bread!

cupcakes

grumpy

I am grumpy at the moment, because we have been told that we have to move out of our flat because the landlord wants to move back in. I love our flat, i can see the sea and its lovely and the building is full of old people so its nice and quiet. (I'm not your usual party raving student!)
I am unusually sulky about it.

We are hoping that another flat in the same building will come available before we have to move out, so we can just chuck all our stuff in the lift and into the new flat. fingers crossed.
Anyway, my sulkiness fueled some little drawings.

some very delayed photos

The Natural History Museum. I hadn't been here since I was little, but it's still as awesome. I love the building so much, and of course all the things inside it.





I think the ceiling is so pretty, I had to take a photo of it. Would love to have a ceiling like this.

We were in there for hours, and we still didnt manage to get round the whole museum. It's definately a whole day job, or a few visits. You could spend a day just in the fossils and rocks room. They have all the elements in there, I never realised how pretty sulphur is, (although smelly). Also, I've never thought that I was a diamonds and sparkly jewels girl, but as soon as I went into the 'Vault' room, I was in awe of these amazing things. Its crazy to think such beautiful things are natural. My birth stone is Topaz, and I just love the colours.
