A what I call 'Barrel of laughs'

Man in barrel

Vintage Myth - The Sleeves will be to short or to long.

'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade' - What's wrong with Sprite or cordial?

Another week has passed and my head is feeling better and more clearer and can finally focus my work in the right direction. Previously in my life, I realized that people text/message me about the most random of stuffs, this is a hearty thank you to all the people who have let me know about there eyebrow waxing and Yankee candle purchases. Secondly I have realized my great love for Lucozade but it does send my hearts a racing and my arms a flying, not good. I finally accepted my place at Manchester Metropolitan University and am looking forward to passing the foundation so I can start my next chapter in a new city. Not much got done over the weekend, naughty. But I do keep myself composed as I am the master of not dealing with stress and work shall commence!!

Now I finally have found a direction into where to take my work, I began focusing my attention towards what part of the body I want to restrict and found the ideas and concepts of the arms intriguing as you need them for most tasks and without them comes humility and embarrassment. The Barrel Pillory was my starting point and most probably my ending point as the pathway is already running over and have only this week to finish it. Horrible thought. But as the initial drawings of a catwalk model being stuck  in a model took hold I began experimenting with different shapes and ideas which led to an imbalance of shapes as the garments continued to be designed. To progress my pieces I want to start working in the Adobe packages by drawing them in Photoshop and Illustrator and creating an almost Russian doll nature creating the ideas of entrapment through them. Who knows where my final piece will lead to and be as I have another artist research to complete before any major work can be completed.

Personal life...
Not much to report on again this week.
Harvey is acting up like usual but hey what do you expect from a cat approaching retirement?
My mother has scolded her arm so she's out of action for the next week or so but shes doing fine.
Soul sister is returning home for a week to discover what she really wants to do in life which will be nice as I will be able to spend sometime with her.
