Bee

On A walk up Pendle hill with my dad I took my camera (as always) in hope of finding inspiration. I took a few photos of flowers and sheep and landscapes but this is my favorite. I will see what I can do with it on photoshop later.

Practicing drawing with pen. What do you think?

There are ideas whirling around in my head

I FOUND A MAN THAT WAS NOT LOST SAT ON THE EDGE OF TRAFALGAR SQUARE. EVERYDAY HE SAT AND SOLD LIFE ADVICE.

The exam is over!

Today right now at this very moment as I type, my art exam work is being marked. Eeep!

Above, plants and a moth trapped in empty tea bag and dipped in wax.

A butterfly and single butterfly wing. I must stress that I did not catch these live myself and a friend found them.

A collection of wire and string insects. 2 wire bees, 2 wire dragonflies, 2 pin and sting butterfly and dragonfly and one butterfly made from tea and glue.

A collection of dried/pressed and waxed flowers.

Dragonfly masking tape print.

25 detailed drawings of plants and insects.

Dried and pressed daffodil in a frame. Reads "We are all a little frayed around he edges".

Box of dried flowers, a small dead crab, several found empty birds eggs, a walnut and many other things.

Final instillation.

I even build the shelf myself. With some help from Bill.

The fear

The fear. The end of my first year of art at lancaster University is so very very close. We have one week left of the final exam and the fear of not doing enough work is looming over me even though I have filled my studio space.

Exam time

Before easter I completely gutted my studio. Took all the old work out, swept the floor even repainted the walls.

It was empty for a while but it is quickly filling up again.

We are 2 weeks into the exam and I am running out of space. I just hope I can fit everything in.
