Drypoint

So I really enjoyed doing this one. the most important thing I found was that you had to keep the light shining correctly so that you could see the image underneath the acetate, but also so that you could see the line that you were scratching. I found that it was easy to get into a rhythm, and before I knew it it was done! I don't have pictures of the final prints because they're still drying but I do have one of the acetate itself.

Photographing some Hugs.

My lovely girlies and boyfriend agreed to help me with my project by taking some pictures. I took pictures of the two women in different kinds of embraces, and they took pictures with me and himself. what I like about them was the height difference and the different positions.

Okay, we're on the right track.

Well, I was having a bit of trouble with my project, like where to start and that, but I had a good talk with my tutor and he suggested that I focus on the arms, the part of the body that does the embracing and how they cross over and all that, so he helped me get started and we did a few lovely prints.

2nd Elective : Print. YEAHHHHHH BUDDY!

So, I'm in Print at the moment and I'm really enjoying it. I always kind of knew it was for me, when I got into it properly this semester, as opposed to dabbling in it like I did in the first semester. Our project brief is on Space, how you occupy it and the space around you. I did a few little sketches on
the things around me and that are personal to me.

So I think I'm going to go with the idea of Personal Space, how you let someone into it, and I'll represent it with a hug/embrace.

The Destroyed Table Clothe.

The title says it all. But I like it, the colours, the pattern, and how messy it looks. Which is kind of the point. Basically to defile it. I've a lot of picture so here you go.

My Table!

My messy messy table, also started working with paprika tumerick and curry ( mild, medium and hot ) just for a variety of colour and smells.

Attempting 3D.

I thought that my project was looking a bit flat, so I decided to make these boxes and dribble oil, water and pva on them, then sprinkle the already ground coffee on top of the liquids. It was really interesting with the coffee on the water because it spread out and almost gave a really nice pattern while doing so, where as with the pva and the oil it just kind of soaked into it but didn't spread.
