The Final Countdown…
Art, Confidence, nights out, Design, Health, University, College, Work, Creative, Anxiety, Crafts, Textiles, Sewing, Beads, Sketchbook, Studio Space
to the end of year show, my piece of work going on public display but not my head popping, no, that happened last week….
I haven’t started the final piece yet, I’ve done lots of research, developmental ideas, making beads, sketching, screen prints, stitching, writing, taking photos, visiting mining sites- filled 3 sketchbooks and the walls of my space.
Yes, working hard, almost 7 days a week, to the point where if I’m not doing any work, I feel a bit lost. So when someone says they ‘don’t quite get it’ I felt something go pop in my head. More was said than just that but I felt like my work was poor, not good enough. Then panic, how could I put it on show! Why was my work rubbish?! Also I have an essay to complete and I was doubting my ability to write. Yes I do this blog but its not academic or in any way a good use of grammar etc as i know im really poor at that so I have been stressed anyway and then even more so after this thing with my work.
I went home, declared i was NOT going back, sobbed cried lots. Did a bit of work, cried some more, then ate icecream in the sun before doing the school run. I came home to a answer machine message from a worried tutor who said my work IS strong and perhaps I’m just being pushed because I’m just playing it safe. This made me feel better but i only have 3 weeks to make the damn work and a week of that is half term when i cant get in the print studio and after all this time I’m still wondering what exactly i will come up with! HELP!
Anyway I’ve done this essay, need to make a few adjustments, nothing major. I have the print room booked all day tomorrow. Fingers crossed for some good feedback as i cant take the stress and anxiety any more, its making me ill. Celebratory drinks Friday night for my friends who have finished Uni so that’s something to look forward to

We're Going On A Gin Hunt
We’re going on a gin hunt We’re going to find a big bottle What a beautiful day! We’re not scared.
Uh-uh! Empty purse! No money here. We can’t just steal it. We can’t just borrow it.
Oh no! We’ll have to use the debit card!
Overdraft, overdraft, overdraft!
We’re going on a gin hunt… etc
Uh-uh! A busy supermarket! Too many people.
i need to go on a gin hunt
Comical Rock Sculptures
I really liked this post from http://www.eteignezvotreordinateur.com/de-lart-de-faire-parler-la-pierre/ but, unfortunately it is written in French so I can’t read all of it. From what I understand, the work is produced by a Japanese artist named Hirotoshi Itoh. He uses the stones from the river near his house to make comical sculptures. Pretty neat!

Inspirational Craft Magazines
Last week i stumbled across a magazine in the supermarket near me and yesterday i decided to buy it. Mollie Makes magazine is so inspirational and has given me loads of ideas and inspiration. Im thinking of subscribing. This issue also came with a supplement about weddings which again has totally opened up my mind, i love it! There are also tutorials in the mag so you can make what they feature, i cant wait for next months issue!
Cloth Paper Scissors is another magazine i have stumbled across today. There was a stack of them at college so i grabbed a few to flick through during lunch and i have to admit….i brought them home! OK they’re borrowed, not stolen. They have some great ideas in there i want to try and im going to become a member of their website as im a bit of a mixed media junkie at the moment.
Which magazine do you buy and inspire you?
