More Works to Folio

Hope everyone had a good weekend! - have uploaded more images onto my portfolio, I don't have close ups of these works yet so there is alot of detail you miss in these shots. Will hopefully get some done soon. Have also included 2 shots of the works hung in a gallery space.

Exhibitions, Weddings, Folio Work and Misc Whooha

I have had the best week having my parents down cleaning up my house, doing my washing, babysitting so we can go see Ponyo (the new miyazaki film) and generally giving me a big break while they hung out with their little grandaughter!

Have been to the Dali exhibition at the NGV which was awesome, plenty of inspiration but the exhibition was huge so have to go back and have another look. My favourite parts were the animation with Disney and a set for hitchcock he designed (oh and also the metal beating heart at the end!).

I have loaded some more work into my portfolio on flickr, part of the Dream Series again based on some drunken nights out with my friends at uni. I really liked the shadows of the girl dancing into the scene, depending on how you moved the light it made her look like she was moving. Have been working on a few other projects (including the wedding!) but will have to fill you in later!

Portfolio

Since i haven't had anytime for making lately, I am going through the slow process of putting my portfolio online with Flickr and have put a slideshow on the righthand side bar of this blog. The work I am currently putting up is my final years work at uni, which was based on dreaming and the unconscious mind (will find the blurb at some stage and put it up) . The techniques I used were machine embroidary, photo emulsion for the printed imagery, degumming and collage. Below are some images of the first work I have loaded up.

'I Made This!'

I am trying my best to win a copy of the Meet Me At Mikes 26 Crafty Projects book. The aim of the game is to post an image of something you have made so I am putting up an image from a series of old works I did on dreams plus some images of detail. I have been meaning to start a section here on my portfolio so this has inspired me!
