As well as practically completely re-doing my room, I have decided to take over the bottom part of our garden. It's been overgrown for an age and we've never really got round to looking after it since we moved in like 6 years ago. It's lined / surrounded by tall overgrown hedges, has a couple of rusty old benches and a gravel path down the middle. I basically want to cut and trim the hedges down a tad, paint the benches, plant some poppies & hydrangeas - blue preferably but apparently 'they won't grow in our soil' but whatever, I can try. It's pretty lush because it's sheltered and away from the house. I want a hammock but that may be
a bit down the line. So I'm thinking make some cushions, buy some moroccan lanterns, candles, big umbrella things etc etc and basically chill down there under the stars drinking wine with whoever wants to come and keep me company! aaand in the day, sunbathe with a mountain of books & sketchbooks. maaaaaaaaaaan i can't wait.

this will be me ^

tumblah

yes i am now a tumblr geek loser & have not one, but two to distract me from reality, which currently sucks

 due to exams so you can see my reasoning non?

so yuh i have a slight obsession with interiors and apartments and architecture and whatnot, so in my boredom made
/əpärtmənt/
to simply share the massive collection of photos stored on my laptop.
I want to live in every one of the places on there, or like an accumulation of them all...

blue day

there's just something about pictures of dudes on skateboards...

i like the sound of the rain

In the summer (10th June), when my life resumes and when I can spend days wandering round carboots and
 charity shops & making art all day long, I'm considering selling some of my handmade jewellery and
 suchlike... I have a shed full of glass, solder & metal my grandad left (he used work as a stained glass artist)
 before he ran off to london and I'm gradually working my way through it using a lot for art projects and
 things. I make / collect / find random  things to put round my neck anyway so if I get on a bit of a roll, might
 as well sell some to y'all. Thought about plenty of designs but just haven't had the time or dedication recently
 .. I'm thinking things like like a small three dimensional glass pyramid & coloured glass pyramids &
 cubes & things.. Oh and rings, lots of ringzzz...
 I need to visit this little shop in Covent Garden that is literally like an Aladdin's Cave of the coolest &
quirkest beads & things...

29th April 2011

Everything about yesterday was beautiful ~ Her dress, was incredible, as expected by Sarah Burton for
 McQueen which I was so so happy about. The lace, which was handmade by the Royal School of Needlework
 was stunning as was the embroidery and the pleats and the shape. I was pretty excited beforehand but I didn't
 think I would be on the verge of tears as she walked down the aisle lined with trees. The Queen also looked
 pretty rad, rocking her yellow ensemble and I still think Harry and Pippa should get together. All in all, it made
 me very happy. Off to read the newspapers with a cuppa.

// man i love being British.

sleep - suspension of consciousness

it's half one in the morning, i'm absolutely shattered but can't sleep,
i really should though i have so much to do tomorrow but instead i'm just lying here
in a kind of daze
listening to this lot ::::

Shake the Shackles // Crystal Stilts
Flim // Aphex Twin
Horses // High Highs
Agoraphobia // Deerhunter
India Lately // Gold Panda
High, I Am // Cave
Alberto Balsalm // Aphex Twin
Desire Lines // Deerhunter
My Lover Mother Nature // Tame Impala

weird mix but it all sounds pretty good merged together and on on low volume in a dark and quiet house....
dwnld them // lstn to them // fall asleep to them
~ night.

redoing my room this summer for sure.

reality sucks

back from my cornish adventure ~The not so great aspects: I wrecked my camera ____ lets just say an incoming tide and a big wave left my camera well & truly dead :( (Thankfully had my film cams & my mum's beast of a canon to hand) Wrecked my feet whilst clambering over rocks, up cliffs, into rockpools & by dropping glass on my foot (not cool.) -- i am such a nightmare. ah well, here's hoping to a rad final art piece after all the pain & effort I've been through ha.... but it was amazing nonetheless ~ had long chats with an old man about music & gramophones, decided I want to learn to surf & visited some really incredible places - empty beaches with miles of sand & caves & lagoons & rocks & cliffs. Srsly, who needs exotic when you've got the english coast?????
Got so many concepts & ideas about the waves, the moon, the sea to incorporate in my art & for once I actually feel genuinely inspired.
// i'm off to edit thousands of photos, develop films, make films & fill sketchbooks //
