I haven't updated in a while but I've been out enjoying the sunshine. Every day I'm trying to avoid going home because I think it's such a waste to be stuck inside during the summer.
I took my dog to the park the other week and I took my camera with me. Big Mistake. My dog is terrified of cameras. The park is basically one steep hill and I took her to the top and took out my camera and she ran right down the bottom and refused to come back up. I had thought she would just hide behind my like she usually does but no. Right down the bottom and when I went to follow her I slipped and fell flat on my face.
I have gotten some new clients to go to so I have been busier with work. The new clients are really nice. I really love my job. I get to meet so many different people.
College stopped two weeks ago but I just got my summer project or should I say projects yesterday, my first project for a print project inspired by the shop Anthropologie. There are two options for that project. Either an interior based where the project is based towards a cushion design or a fashion project based towards a dress.
I think I'll probably do the interior based project as I want to keep my options open rather than limiting myself to fashion. Plus I really enjoyed my interior project from the end of my first year at college.
The second project set to us is an embroidery project based on the medical/science exhibits at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. ( I keep calling it the Hungarian Museum)
I have a plan. My plan is to use my one free day a week to go to the
Hunterian Museum and try drawing some stuff then I can test out ideas
before I get back to college. I am also going to research boot fairs and
craft fairs to go to over the summer to get interesting drawing source
for the Anthropologie project. Our keyword is Nomad so I reckon that
might be the best place to get started.
Anyway for my second year of my HND the lecturers have
suggested that we all keep a blog. Now as I already have this blog I
asked them if I should just use this one. However they said I should
keep a separate one just for projects and work and stuff like that so I
have started another blog where as I go through my second year at
college I will upload my projects as I have been meaning to on this.
Life is going great and I have a whole host of things lined up to do. Next week I'm going to my old school to play in the band for the school show, July I'm going, hopefully, to comic con, August I'm going back to see Rocky Horror with my friends 'thisiscarole' and 'spazzyhawk' (if their still up for it, if not I've got to find someone else to go with cos it was fantastic the last time), then I had got something planned for my Gran's birthday for September however it's been pushed back to November but I cant say too much about that (don't want it leaking back to Gran) so the next few months are going to be good.
