Day 13- Patchwork Feelings

Even after sitting on this couch and looking out this window for almost a year now, I've only just noticed today that it looks like a quilted patchwork square. I really liked the idea so it's Day thirteen's photo; I think by adjusting the contrast between the surroundings and window it emphasises this nicely and focuses your attention on something that really is quite interesting. I suppose to me it also feels like a representation of my fresher year and all the memories and feelings associated with it patched together, it's been good.

Especially after Skyrim got involved ;) I think it's one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, very reminiscent of Myst and Riven. I also love the fact there are dragons, you don't get much better than the fantasy genre! Thought I'd share this screen shot of my character framed inside the dragon skeleton, she's put on a lovely dress just for the occasion haha ;P

Day 12- "And then someday is yesterday and this is your life" -found on Tumblr

I really like the textures in these, the roughness of the walls and graininess of the windows in contrast to the smoothness of the projector surface. Initially the reflection on the OHP caught my eye, I really like reflections at the moment haha but I really liked how the surface swirled against the reflection and wanted to try and capture this.

The weather's been so strange recently! We've alternated between pure blue skies and sunshine to grey and snowy within seconds. Only in Preston haha.

I've discovered how to embed pins from my Pinterest so I can post about new artists or artwork I find more easily :D I love this site haha, it's perfect for creating a visual notice 'board' for inspiration. This is a piece of work by David Mack which I found recently. I really love how it creates an 'unfinished' sort of look with the colours going outside the 'lines' and paint splatters. Looking through my Pinterest Board there's a lot of similar work to this~ I think it suits my personal, more 'messy' art style too, especially working with watercolour, one of my favourite mediums to work with.

Day 11-  'Definitely not gay' make it to the pub quiz on time :P

Second pub quiz of the month and we made it on time this week much to the quiz guy's amusement! :P After a pretty appalling start in round one (current affairs and geography) we proceeded to smash it in round two with film and TV .. It was a good round to double points on :P I still can't actually believe we won a round, although the bottle of rose we won's still sitting on the shelf to prove it :D I really like this pub, the décor's really neat, wouldn't mind an antler chandelier  It's also my favourite colour scheme haha~

Day 10- "Worrying often gives small things a big shadow"

Happy Mother's day to my mother, who sadly I will not be able to spend today with as I live the other side of the country! :') Needless to say I hope she has a loverly day today being spoilt enough for the both of us by my younger sister! :P  Today was another really sunny blue day! I'm not quite sure how the clouds went from light and fluffy to gloom and ominous.... I really like the marks and contrast in them though! Photo of the day with a different perspective~ I really like how a. the clouds look like the world and b. there's a gas mask casually chilling on my boyfriend's windowsill :')
It really was a blue day though~ I really like this photo~ it's very cute :3 

Day 9- Sam's Guitars

I guessed right, it was a quiet weekend! Sam's family came up today though which was nice (y)  We had lots of tea<3 Then I left them to spend the day shopping whilst I finally caught up with some more lecture notes, slowly but surely! Day 9's photo is the new addition to Sam's guitars as his parents bought the one on the right back up with them, needless to say I was ignored as soon as they left :P I really like the way the light's split into the colours so clearly! It looks crazy haha.
