I'd Like To Be Under The Sea...

Crocheted octopus anyone?

Last Night

Words Of Violence,
Break The Silence,
And Come Crashing In,
Into My Little World.

Painful To Me,
Pierce Right Through Me,
Can't You Understand,
Oh My Little Girl.

All I Ever Wanted,
All I Ever Needed,
Is Here In My Arms,
Words Are Very Unnescessary,
They Can Only Do Harm.

Went to Manchester MEN Arena last night to see Depeche Mode - Immense. The coach ride was a bit of a nightmare, four and a half hours, the driver got lost, we past the same shops in Bradford about seven times. When me and Jerusalem finally got there we made our way straight to the front :D

The support act, SoulSavers, weren't too bad - the singers voice was extremely gravelly, apart from that the actual band were good. They just need a new vocalist.

But the Mode - greatness embodied! I need to go see them again :)

Well at least I have photos...

My really old work :) Apparently it looks like a face.

The Pin Cushion Queen as inspired by Tim Burton's poem from 'The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy'.

Also, also, also... TOP SECRET ART PROJECT!

All everyone is getting is two words - Yarn and Newcastle!

Seriously...

this needs overhauling...

Over The Past Weekend...

Theres been a whole lotta changes on my part.

First of all twisting newspaper into yarn is really quite difficult! I know I have until march to get it done and done it will be I'll just have to go back to the ol' drawing board as to how I'm going to make my textiles/art piece for the competition.

I ventured to both CCAD - Green Lane's craft fair and the Designers Marketplace, both equally lush! It is officially confirmed that I am a gob on legs, I talked to everyone there and left rather inspired. I'm thinking of making my own wares to sell for the next one (fingers crossed).

Thinking of going to the "Art Factory" in Middlesbrough on Wednesdays - could be fun :)

Found out my style of drawing! Photoshop! :D And I would have proof but its being blah... :( Watch this space...

Also, also, also! Found out my grade for my bag project - 65%, higher than I imagined.

I'm chuffed!

Competition Time!

I've decided to enter my first competion, I can't wait! It's all about recycling - great! :)

So, here's the plan, cutting the newspaper into shreds and crocheting with it. Hopefully that'll work and look half decent... I mananged to take a copy of it off the train this evening so I may just have to have a little play with it :D

Not exactly sure what I'm going to make, or how inky my hands will get (I'm guessing very) but its worth a try.

Lost My...

...Fascinator on Linthorpe Road.

I want to cry.
