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...

cellardoor Magazine

I accidently came across cellardoor Magazine a while ago on Issuu. It is an online magazine that comes out quarterly, above are the covers for the four issues that they have released to date. Not only is it a good read for young women who like fashion, music and art but I especially love it for its layouts and use of typography. It always inspires me when I am stuck on layout ideas.

Becky's Big Art Attack

A week brief given to me to create a 3 minute film...on anything!! Of course when you're given such a broad brief you end up doing something completely random, hence why I did this! It did make a bit of sense, I had the perfect place to do it and I wanted to do something that linked in with the current autumn theme that I'm working with. Enjoy!



Materials used - leaves, compost, stones, broken tile, bugs, string, charcoal, chalk

Autumn Fanzine

Last week I was given a one day brief to create a Fanzine on anything I wanted. I decided to go for an autumn theme as the day before I tad taken some photos of leaves which were the most amazing colours. I went through my box of stuff and dug out anything that was remotely autumny. I used a combination of illustrations and prints that I had already made but not used for anything, the photographs I took of leaves, and some images taken from an autumn issue of vogue. I liked the idea of bringing nature and fashion together.
I really enjoyed making it and was happy with what I made in a day. I have been making so many books lately but I was excited to make something with a theme and content to put inside. I am now thinking about making other issues for the other seasons!
