All that glitter!

me and my friend experimented with glitter and beads last week for her photographic course, plus i love having photos taken of me. he he
these are my two favourites out of about 100 we took. i wanted to focus on to my eye as i was making a beaded bruise on my paper face at the time.


these are my finished pieces so far, i working on a nose bleed at the moments, but i want them to be coming out the page and to be "pretty grotesque" my work not about female abuse but its about my sociology feelings within me.

i like making these it does take me ages as i working on size A0 paper, but i love standing back and seeing all the colours merge into one another. i get a wow feeling he he

Buttons

Resently i keep on finding buttons and i not looking they care just in my eye view when i look down, and there one is. honestly i not looking.
I found this on in the mud on edge of the curb, the crip i was walking up to.

This i found on my flat main entrance on the way to work in the bag.

These i found in Nottingham cattle market on saturday when i got a massive mirror with gold trim for a bargin of £5

This i found when i was sitting outside a club, drunk waiting for everyone to get fish and chips it was next to a bus stop post.

All this has happened ever since my Nan gave me her old button tin. filled to the brim with old button. the tin was made by edward sharp & sons LTD of Maidstone, kent. i have found two more buttns a tiny pink one and a shiny white button but i cant seem to find them, they are somewhere safe. i no its freaky but i feel someone is placing these for me to find and wishing me goodluck and to be happy for the rest of the day.

Show your heart!

Bella is my favorite Disney character.



This is James and i when we went on holiday to switzaland, sept 2008
My poem
Precious Love
Love is a precious thing it is a feeling that makes your heart sing.
Whether you are far or near it is like whispering in my ear.
When you find true love it is something you keep within your heart
A place i wanna be
Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast,it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts,always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails.
- The Bible : 1 Corinthians 13:4
This is the wedding dress i wanna have! lol
1 picture, 1 quote or phase, 1 poem, 1 song, 1 place, 1 item of clothing and a Disney character.

Thanks for the tag, tea drinking english rose it was fun.

Enchanting stuff















I been very naughty recently and brought a lot of DVD because I really fancied watching them, especially The Phantom of the opera as I had the masquerade song in my head for ages and had to watch it in full. It’s such a beautiful scene, I just stare at the background and the decoration of the set more than the characters, even thought their masks are so enchanting.






Like Moulin Rouge I love the way it is filmed and the angles the camera uses. The colour of each scene burst out of the screen so you fill part of the film. I do like Baz Luhrmann’s work even since I watched Romeo and Juliet when I was doing my GCSE’s. Even though i didn’t fully understand the language used but the whole picture gives you a clue what’s going on.

Cant Sleep!


Can’t sleep! It’s so annoying I tried everything, I just drinking a hot mug of milk and sugar to see if that will work! It’s been 5 hours now since I want to sleep and have an "early night" it always happens when you want an “early night” so you'll all ready and bright the next day and then the sleep monster won’t let you sleep.

so I decided to start my essay that I should of started ages ago and it’s got to be handed in Wednesday I doing it in Ruth Claxton a artist that I’m fond off that relates to my work well about been over decorative and suffocating aspects.
