Semester 1 complete

That's it! 4pm deadline been and gone but was finished well before time this time round!

 Very pleased I've managed to achieve what I have done after this past month which has proved to be a very difficult time for my close family. At this moment in time I just really couldn't be happier that I've got eveything done for the deadline stated, just a great achievement for me. Grades and marks are something not even considering...right now anyway! 

That's it now at college until the end of January- such a long boring month as it is! After a good rest over Christmas and the New Year can resume developing my initial ideas from this semester...always striving to push it further. 

Last set up...?

Fresh look at my set up today. Altered it slightly again, I feel better about it now. All loose ends coming together now- list of things to do is considerably less! 

Oh yeah, Christmas!

College always has an annual Christmas decouration competition between all the departments. Theme this year was Christmas around the world. This is the art departments entry this year

Deadline in 2 days and counting...

So yes, deadline is in 2 days time but feel pretty OK about it. Through a difficult month I've found I've perhaps, been more organised than normal and have had to prioritise my time more so than usual, thus not having a stressful last push towards the deadline. That is not to say I don't have plenty to do, have a list to check off but it's not as long as I thought it would have been. 

Had an initial set up of work to see what I'm working with in terms of space, so it's work in progress and needs a LOT of altering before I will be happy to say I'm finished- But it's taking shape none the less. 

Another thing checked off the list

That's seminar, the seminar paper and now essay finished!
Can really focus on creative stuff now!!!

One word

Connections

This was the result of having a chat with the textile tutor at college, when she was asking about my stuff and tried and tried to explain it and eventually got it down to connections. And it's perfect! Summarises all my work I've done to date for my college work.

 

Getting out there

Went a nip in past For Arts Sake to see all the entries for the open exhibition. A much smaller exhibition than the Pier's but it's a far smaller space! 

Paintings made up the majority of the exhibits and I had entered a mixed media textile piece and a photograph. I felt I had to take advantage of this free entry exhibition but these entries were quite last minute! Seeing as these pieces were already framed is more why I entered them more than anything as I had a mixed media 'leaf' design from last year I would have liked to exhibit but time was not on my side for getting it framed! 

Self-satisfaction

Went a trip out to the Pier Arts Centre as they were open on a Sunday, to see the open exhibition and couldn't help feel pleased with myself seeing my work and if I say so myself, looking good! 

Just a tad irratating seeing your name spelt wrong...
