So this posting more than once month thing is happening.. not! but no fear, it is now my Easter break which equates to three whole weeks of usable blog time ;) (in between getting my essay done but quarter of the way there!) On a less positive note I haven't been feeling the greatest lately, and with sleep being the main driver of creativity, I have had a very poor amount.. But with some stress reduction, time management, meditation and plan making I hope to conquer this negativity! I am trying to push through this and with the weather getting warmer and the days getting longer, the sky is the limit!

Right, whew, now for the positive and the future:

• Social Media-  I've decided I want to reach out to more of you and the best way I can currently come up with is through my social media for The Artsy One. most accounts have been pretty stable but I am definitely seeing growth in my Instagram following and it is so exciting! I hope to connect more with you guys and answer any questions you may have, and you know, even just have a chat!

• Camera- With my student loan on the horizon it has spurred me to have a little look online (shopping.. lets say it is long awaited ;) ) and I have decided this time I need and shall finally invest in a decent camera. This not only will be useful for Uni work and Course based photography, but it will also be helpful for personal use ie this blog and my next potential project..

• YouTube- Now I'm going to need some feedback for this one (like really really), but I was wondering whether to start up a Youtube channel containing videos of both my work as well as lifestyle bites like vlogs or lookbooks. With the addition of a new camera this would be 1000 times easier so if its what you want to see then it'd be I testing to find out!
• Sunshine, floral fashion, outside adventures!- Obviously summer is on it's way and its been more than visible in the gorgeous spring weather we've been having here in England. Me and a friend have been scouring the internet for pretty, flowy, floral dresses because the sunshine is  bringing out our inner girliness. I hope to share both  my purchases as well as my sunshine adventures!

Really am not keeping up with this New Years resolution stuff am I? Hehe, anyway I'm back with some of my most recent work. I have to say I have been busy, but yet again haven't been active enough on here, so for that I apologise!

So this is some of my latest photography/ drawing work for my garment project. As of now I have actually submitted this project and am actually just getting round to blogging about it, but I will update you on my mark when I post a round up of this modules work.

You are probably wondering what this work is about? Well, as mentioned in a recent post on my shower photography, I was working on a drawing project titled 'Garment'. I wanted to focus on an unusual style of drawing (it being a project focused on drawing) so decided to explore into the realm of wire drawing, and developing on from that, wearable wire drawings.

I did do them on both men and women focusing on a corset and button up shirt. The metallic quality of the drawings represents to entrapment and constrictive qualities the solid clothing has. Regular clothing is a lot more enclosing than we can come to realise and this represents the struggle to hide the shame of nudity against the destructive and harsh effects the clothing can have on the body (tight, pressing, constricting and chaffing).





I used dark backgrounds so the wire disappears into the black. I am using these photographs as the drawings themselves, with the bodies as the 'white of the paper'. I feel there is so much potential for this work, and that I just need to push this idea forward. I definitely want to bring this idea into my next module, which I have been given so better get cracking ;)

I have a few posts lined up so stay tuned, and bye bye for now!

Well come on, everyone needs that New year new me blog post? I mean, I doubt I'll suddenly become a brand new person, Goddess of productivity and water consumption but maybe writing it down will be more motivating? ;)

So what now?

Consume more water than my windowsill cacti plants..-

A lot of us have this at the top of the self improvement list. After a little research on doctor Google I have come to the conclusion that adults need roughly 1.5l to 2l of water a day. (don't quote me on that!) I on the other hand drink about a glass of squash. I want to clear my skin and hopefully give myself a little hydrated spring to my step and what better place to start than water?!

Generate more than 1 or 2 blog posts a month!-

Knuckle down with my Uni work (and actually use my desk!)-

Lots of unwashed dishes, strange breakfast combinations, confusion when attempting to wash clothes, lost keys, excessive amounts of stationary, awkward meal times, disagreeing about the tv channels, sleepy starts, evenings out.. Yes I am now officially a STUDENT!!
