Just a little delay..

Mmm, I've been rather slow in updating, blame the return to uni and the copious amount of reading, boo! Last Friday me and Erica went to the V&A Late, a themed late night opening of a museum, with activities and goings-on and such. This one was 'Fashion Photography', and followers of Facehunter might know he was there. He negleected to snap us, (haha! his loss!) however this V&A woman was keen to photograph us repeatedly after we had finished in the DIY wearable adornment from everyday materials room.

Hmmm! The most awkward smiles ever!
Incase you couldn't tell, Eric's made her gold bow bracelet and pink brooch, and I made my origami/fortune teller headpiece.


I have quite a thing for making fortune tellers you see...


My fortune-teller installation-thingy, (with my friend Jen's work on the left) and a Asterix comic fortune-teller birthday card for my friend Shadi.

We forgot to take any outfit shots that night, but perhaps I should point out the rest of me looked like this:

I drew on my tights, something I'd been meaning to do for ages, but the colour seems to be fading...Mainly because it comes off all over my hands when I put them on, despite it being permanent pen. I think perhaps a higher denier would work better.

the weekend

On Saturday we went out to get breakfast and stumbled upon a small car boot sale going on. I didn't find anything interesting to buy, but one of the cars there was pretty unusual from what you usually see!



Later we stopped for a drink at the arts centre across the road from me. In the bar area they were displaying some work of students from a local high school; their project was based on 'connections' I think, and the outcome was these map-dresses...







This is the view from there; the river, old boats and derelict boat houses. Apparently there are some artist studios and a small gallery hidden away on this island in the middle, but I've never been, I must check it out soon...

abandoned

For our Friday night, me and my friend Erica went to an opening of an exhibition my friend organised and had work in. The space was amazing, a three storey abandoned warehouse. Great for taking blurry eerie photos.






I forgot to take pic of the toilet-piano area. The out-of-tune, spooky echoing melodies were a perfect accompaniment to going in there!
