lots of art....and a sweet burger

so i have been sitting in on my exhibition, smiling to viewers, talking about the work, and just sitting there, just taking it all in.

while being in the studios i have gotten lots of feedback about my work, well laughing, smiling and a few people saying that the love it, which has made me very happy. other work i love from the show includes Ant's and Ben's work, which can be found on the http://www.fineart09.com/ website. have a look at their beautiful work. apart from sitting in the studios over the past 4 days i have been up to not much...well one evening stayed up late and blew bubbles!to finish off my final year at uni, we had a final fine art party at a stealth, which is an amazing club. we had bands play. but before stealth i invited people round to my flat for pre-drinks. then we all set out to the club. fun was had, old friends danced with, hugs, and loud singing. then a few of us went to a house party, but by 4 we were too sleepy..so made our way home...(i love this picture, we were walking really slow compared to the other in front, so they turned around and took our picture...hehe)(my friend laura drinkinginthemorningsun is on the left) i havnt been up to speed on these bits and pieces, but i got tagged by from lina to talk about my favourite things about summer. i always love how light it is in the late evenings, sitting outside in the garden with family, the nosies that summer makes, the sun coming through the trees. i tag whoever writes on this post! :)i also got given an award by from lina . eek, thank you very much, its lovely!!

art art all around

eeeek. my private view was last night. i had a beautiful time, lots of art, drink, friends and family. i was pleased with my work at the show, lots of people seemed to like it, which made me rather happy. lots of small children were laughing and getting exicted to see the birds and rats. for my final piece, i had a large cage full of birds that i had made. there was then two rats outside the cage trying to help the birds escape. the cage was locked, with the keys hanging on a hook on the wall.i was pleased by what people were saying about my work, as i wasnt really sure how i felt about it. oh and lots of people were taking my postcards i had made. :) my birds were made out of found and everyday objects, i wanted to use them in the creation of creatures. i love to create something new out of the old and used. i really felt like the 'bird' lady, because on the night i wore my red bird dress, with bird pins, and my feather head band. i think people looked at me, and then my work, and then back to me, and realised that they were looking at my work!! hehe. it made me laugh.

these are some close up photos of some of my 'creations'. they are rather odd, and all made out of found and everyday objects. i like the fact people have their own favourites.

after my show i felt rather sad that it was all over, and that i would not see my friends for much longer. my family also had to go back home today, and they took my whole room with them!!! i do not have that much stuff left in my room, all i have i now on my desk, which i need to clean and sort out!!hehe. i treated myself to some cute biscuits while i type on here. :)i am sitting in on my show tomorrow, to check everything is ok, and i will hopefully walk around and talk to people about what they think of the show. :) so i will take more photos of the whole show for you all to see!! :) speak soon!!

is there love out there?

today was another eventful day. went and looked at art tonight, as it was one of my friends private view. wine in hand, rooms full of photographs, boiling hot room...yeah that's a private view. it just made me really excited for my show on Friday!! i cannot wait to see family, and hang out with friends.other than looking at photos, i watched the new moon trailer...eeek, it looks unbelievable!!!! aaaah i cannot wait! Kirsten and Robert look amazing! i also came across 'paper heart', which i read about AGES ago when it was going to the sun dance festival. i really want to see this movie, Charlyne Yi is wonderful! the movie is based around the fact that Charlyne does not believe in love. she starts a documentary. she travels around asking for peoples opinions on love. while on this journey she meets a guy called Michael. Michael Cera. she then starts to find out more about love, and what it truly means.
