shonky structures

I have to admit. I have absolutely sucked at blogging lately. Life has taken over: Uni, internship, ahhhh!

However, I can show you some of the artists I’ve been looking at for Sculpture. And some stuff I’ve been working on myself, even.

Love Joanna Langford’s work: a New Zealand based artist.

Amazingly delicate structures.

And a geometric maquette from me.

This is a photo I took of hot glue strands that I’ve been working with to make the wooden maquettes above.

This is a collage I made from a photograph of a pylon and coloured inserts. I plan to make series of these images alongside my 3D works.

A more abstracted version using tinfoil inserts.

And my inspiration wall.

 

i’ve become one of those people who take pictures of their cats.

But look how cute!

Ok that is all. I have limited myself to two photos. Even though I took about six…

Crazy cat lady.

salads. then bacon.

I’ve saved up a few food pictures.

In summer a really nice salad is the best thing. This one has: lettuce, capsicum, orange, red onion, avacado, chicken and fried breadcrumbs.

Salade part deux: lettuce, red onion, avacado, orange, parmesan and walnuts.

And finally, when I came home last night after watching the film ‘Albert Nobbs’ at a tiny theatre in Methven with only five other people there… I had BACON. And toast, and poached eggs and these weird mashed potato things from my grandad’s freezer to replace hash browns.

And it was good.

 

toast and tea

Sometimes there’s nothing better than a piece of toast with some really decent peanut butter and a cup of earl grey tea.

What do I want for Christmas?

Sneakers.

Camera.

Glasses.

All from converse. Note the subtle differences between the black, leather pairs. Or is that just me being strangely particular…

This was a great guide to buying digital SLR cameras.

For me, it’s between the Canon and the Nikon.

I think the Canon may have convinced me. DSLR camera are more expensive than your standard point and shoot, but take terrifically clear, high quality photos. I’m thinking of investing in one to document my sculpture and art projects.

I super-dooper like tortoise-shell frames for glasses at the moment. And plastic frames are great and light-weight. Although the reason I’m getting new frames in the first place is because my current plastic ones are allllllll wonky. Like a winky wonky donkey.

But finding the right glasses is hard. Mostly due to my weirdly narrow face, which means kids size glasses usually fit me better. Sigh.

There were also frames called ‘Lucky Copper Tobacco Horn,’ which I was tempted by the name alone. And another pair called ‘Dorcas.’ Those weren’t so tempting. I don’t know how liberated you’d feel wearing Dorcas frames.

But oooh I like the Burberry. The Derek Cardigan ones are cool, probably too big for my face. And extra hipster.

And then there are the stocking fillers. Sadly, I really want some good woollen socks, even though it is coming into summer here. I currently have only one pair that I wear because of my weirdly specific requirements.

I also like nail polish.

This is my latest buy from Revlon. Definitely recommend top coat too.

Yay! Now I just have to organise getting some of these things.
