Kittens!




I made myself a little detachable collar today, I think it turned out pretty well!

Inside out



I was on the Guardian website the other day and read an article that mentioned a new project by the photographer JR, called Inside Out. All you have to do is take a picture of your face, upload it to the website and they will print it as a large poster, mail it to you, then you are supposed to paste it in a public place. It sounds great! I really want to do it, but if I had a giant photo of my face, where would I put it?

Why can't I be you?























He was just some Joseph looking for a manger



I had a nice quiet day today, I snuggled up in a big cozy jumper and watched Lost In Translation whilst I drew this reindeer christmas card for my friend. The quality of the scan is a bit off, it's darker and the biro mark-making looks a bit more subtle in real life. But oh well.

I'm going to a carol service tomorrow, which I'm not particularly looking forward to, but after that I shall go to town and get some christmas presents...and perhaps treat myself to a little something! It's less than 2 weeks (I think) till christmas but it doesn't really feel like that to me. Maybe because we haven't got a tree yet and I haven't had to write mounds of christmas cards this year (yay!).


Anyway, good night! x

Flower Crowns #2















Part of the Christmas gift I'm giving my friend this year is a flower crown (along with some other little goodies, but sshhhh). After creating a prototype (see below) I have made the final crown (above), which I think is pretty damn good, even if I do say so myself!

I then went to town to get some photos of myself wearing it in a photobooth. It was quite annoying though when I got there. Before inserting my money I had a look through the types of photo you could get and the choice was pretty shite. You could get 5 passport size and 5 for 'other ID' size in one range, so I clicked on the 'fun' range which was either one big portrait of you and your friends, 16 tiny little photos or one with a frame. Each of which cost £5! When did photobooths stop doing the usual strips of 4 or so photos, all different, so that you and your friends could pile in and take silly snapshots? So I ended up getting the passport style photos, which I am going to use in some art for the zine.

Someday I would like to build my own analogue photobooth, complete with red velvet curtain, but I think that day is pretty far off....
