Graduation

Graduation - it finally happened! (A week and three days ago).

We had to travel from Suffolk so we arrived late and didn't manage to get many photos, hardly any good ones, but I still enjoyed the day and hope everyone else did too. It was good to see people again.

Whilst inside for the ceremony it was mainly sunny outside, then as soon as we left the building the weather decided to change to be blustery and rain. Typical.

After returning my robes and cap we went for a nice meal, where I had a tasty mac and cheese with chicken and bacon. Then we went back to the White Hart Hotel where we were staying for the night and I had a lovely hot bath with a cuppa. I had the best start to graduated-life! For breakfast I ended up having bacon, egg, sausage and beans, then beautiful american pancakes with cream and syrup. It was one of the best breakfast's I have ever had!

I am so grateful that my parents and other half were able to share the day with me; it wouldn't have been the same without them.

Desk Space.

My work space yesterday, I finally have my desk back, hallelijah! My parents came to visit me at uni the other day and helped me pack up most of the things that I don't need, so they can take it home with them. They took me and my boyfriend out for a meal and a bit of food shopping. Well, I might as well make the most out of them while they're here haha! It was nice seeing them all get along and chat a little. We then rushed around Asda grabbing things I needed; it was like we were on Supermarket Sweep (definitely should do our shopping like that more often - it was so much fun). After all that, it was time to pack the car and say bye bye for now.

With this new found space, I decided to use my newly, clear desk and finish the drawing I started at the weekend. It felt good, almost like being back at the studios. Ok, so it was nothing like that, but it was better than me scrunched up working on my bed. I have loads of space now that my massive printer and numerous bottles of paint and my sculpture have gone. Yay! I'm hoping this will help me be able to get into my sketchbook work and blogging properly. It'll probably be a slow start, just fingers crossed I get it sorted before I go home. It also means I get to sit and get distracted by looking out of my window at the wonderful dreary weather we’re having, what fun!

Blue Building.

Blue metal building. I also found this yesterday and instantly fell in love. I am hoping to possibly sneak it away sometime and somehow (it’s a tad heavy). Again, I was pulled in by the colours and the shape. If I did adopt this, I don’t reckon I would change it at all, the sky blue and rusty orange work well together. The weather has done well. Oh I just had a thought, I’m not sure my parents would like me bringing al this stuff home, they’ll probably just think it’s all rubbish haha! Ah, well. I like the straightness of the shapes and how they fit together, it kind of reminds me of a building. I am intrigued by the shadow it creates, aaaaahhh! There is just something about it. Gimme, gimme, gimme! (Again I must apologise for this strangeness that has taken over me… I’m now part sculptor don’t you know?)
