Oh hello!

Look who I found round the corner from my graduate show gallery!

Giant nature in London

I got so over excited when I saw this giant bird on a wall when on Brick Lane a few weeks ago. Roa is a graffiti artist from Belgium, who I have been meaning to blog about for a while now, after coming across his blog. The scale and detail of his illustrations are amazing!

When but I also found this giant fox sitting on top of the Hayward Gallery, I thought I may as well include them both together! The straw fox is part of the Festival of Britain 60th anniversary celebrations.
Apparently there is a giant rabbit around the Covent Garden area too. With that and all of Roa's different animals scattered over the city I could spend a day going on a giant animal hunt...if only I had the time!

Mini Di

It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago, and my best present by far was a Diana Mini! The packaging she came in was amazing in itself, with a cute little book full of Lomography inspiration. I popped in my first film and snapped away at my birthday celebrations. However this analogue photography business needs practice, as I found out when the film was developed. I guess it didn't help that I was using the wrong film...

But anyway I was proud of my first Diana photos, even if they were blurry and dark. So I made them into a little concertina book.
I've started my next film, this time taking photos outside, experimenting with different settings and using a tripod, second time lucky?!

AWOL

Sorry I have seemed to disappear off the face of the earth lately, especially as I have been doing lots of exciting things and have so much to post! I am currently burried under a pile of books trying to do my dissertation. I hope to catch up on life starting next week!

PomPom

Whilst sitting in front of the fire over Christmas, I for some reason had the urge to make some pompom's. I'm not too sure why but I made several in different colours and sizes, before making a mega pompom the size of my head! Suggestions on what to do with them now would be appreciated!!

An extremely white Christmas

I spent the Christmas period in Scotland visiting my Mum and Sister. It was very cold and snowy, but extremely tranquil and relaxing! Here are a few very white snaps...

Believe or not, this is a loch!

Can't see where the ground meets the sky!

Come to this!

Safety in numbers

Set of four A3 hand rendered illustrations inspired by animal migration (more info to come). Originals being exhibited at 'No Added Sugar' Exhibition tomorrow and Wednesday! & postcard versions for sale in Something beginning with B online shop.

Unfortunately Something beginning with B has been a bit neglected lately. I have been extremely busy at Uni so all my focus has been on my other blog. So I have been doing lots still! Take a look...
