So i'm writing a blog. A blog on what?! Ive never done this before, how do i start? Do i have to justify myself or have a purpose to make it seem worthwhile, or if i jump into that do i look like an idiot?!
ARGH.
ok, well maybe i should just talk about myself and get my frustrations out of the way.
I am in College. I love college: the people, the freedom, the (usually) interesting classes and the fact that you can walk up to any random person you have never met before, talk about cheese for 5 minutes and be best friends.
However, 3 out of my 4 AS choices are practical... i take double art, fine art: textiles and english lit&lang combined. English is easy enough, i get the occasional bit of coursework but I get it done. Its just finding the balance between art and textiles. I imagine its like having 2 demanding kids, focus on one for slightly too long, the other throws a strop and everything goes haywire. I like each of my subjects, its just frustrating when some arent working out on that particular day.
Right now i'm at the final stages of my first textile project, and am making a final piece. Its an odd thing, and if i'm honest i wanted to do a quirky hanging rose textile sculpture thing, as it seems to be the logical outcome of my many developments of wilted roses throughout the book. But no, Sharon wasnt happy. So Sharon (my teacher) sent me on a completely different course that dosent even have a hint of the rose in it. Annoyed? Very.
But oh well, ive gotten used to the idea of having a huge mouldy log, nailing shoes to it and having a cascade of fabrics and words spilling out of each one. I need black shoes, 21 to be exact. I already have a few pairs from various people but overall, am not having much luck when it comes to this. And i dont know if anyone else has noticed, but charity shop shoes are really quite expensive for the ugly things they are!
And art... the deadline was today for last terms animation project. I almost finished the animation of Barack Obama and his legendary acceptance speech, it just lacks sound, annotations (to be fair ive written them out in rough) and an evaluation. So if i never write again, i may have been killed.
As much as i disliked the last project, this project is based on fashion, and me being me I LOVE IT (:
I even think i may have done enough work already to get myself off the hook from the previous project.... fingers crossed aye?
So thats basically whats happening with me.
The problem now is that i want something, a project or something to do outside of college, with a complete lack of deadlines, boundaries and annoying annotations. So this brings me to this Blog. Ive decided i'm going to make, draw, cook, and generally try things and put them on here. I dont care if a thousand people read this or none, its a wholly selfish release from a busy world of deadlines and specific tasks.
So if you are reading this, Hello. I'm Sammie and this is the start of a blog.
