Arnside Location Shooting

Today a flatmate and I helped Sam out with a location shoot for a brief he's working on for uni which involved a day out in Arnside. It was a lot of fun but very cold and rainy at times; as you can see I used one of my favourite art filters Film grain on the journey there to emphasise the atmospheric weather....

 

  

  

Wintry Nights

Hello again! Busy term with an assortment of wintry nights which I thought I'd share with you today.

Cosy night in doodling:

  One of my flatmates decided to join in and drew a smiley face on my hand haha!

A bit of location shooting this night for one of Sam's uni projects, the streetlight glows were so fairytale like here amongst the leaves!

Such a misty night tonight! This reminds me of some wild animal waiting to pounce!

28/11/2013: Watchmen in the Mists

 The Sun Art Installation:

On the way back from picking up Sam from the station we decided to take a slight detour past a temporary art exhibition in collaboration with UCLAN. I've included the link above for more information, it was pretty interesting seeing it unexpectedly, at night.

Waldeinsamkeit- Delamere Forest

Waldeinsamkeit; n. The feeling of being alone in the woods

For my current uni project, I found a series of foreign words untranslatable into english, one of which caught my eye in particular; the German word Waldeinsamkeit, meaning the feeling of being alone in the woods. So, I  decided to drag Sam along for a daytrip to some woods for the day. He suggested Delamere Forest in Cheshire, somewhere I had never been before so we decided to make a day of it! 

Look Up, Look Down

 

  

Childhood Nostalgia;

 The small things :) 

The weather changed so much throughout the day! It was very drizzly and grey in the morning but as Twilight Hour approached the woods were suddenly transformed into an inexplicable beauty as the light hit the trees!

This combined with the gorgeous autumn colours and pastel sunset was an exciting end to such a lovely day.

  

At the very last minute on our way out of the forest we managed to stumble upon this absolutely gorgeous lake! Words cannot quite describe the feeling of stillness and ever so slightly eerie it was there. It was very tranquil though and a fantastically surreal end to the day! 

This is Halloween!

Despite the miserable weather this week, fancy dress has been on full form. Thought I'd share with you my makeup for the Halloween Pub Quiz special inspired again by the Sugar Skull Day of the Dead style makeup. Sam went with a more 'Sweeney Todd' doctor feel... It was a fun night, despite doing poorly on the actual quiz haha.
