I wasn't serious enough bahahaha

 So.... its been a while since I have updated this. And a while since i have drawn anything in my skecthbook as well.....

I'm not sure I even know where it is! Lemme go find that and come back. 


Oki I found it. 


I was volunteering at Thrive yesterday. I think I want to do a creative project about mental health and gardening and also textiles .





They have plants there like woad, Cotton and Flax that can be used for textiles. The clients there all have different abilities so it would be great to try and run textile projects and think about how it can be accessible to enable everyone to enjoy them. I think I want to work with people who are differently abled; for some reason I feel safe and able to be myself there although I know that there can also be challenging times woring with such a diverse group.

  I drew a mushroom from the new forest and then some circle embroidery by Loiuse Bourgeious. And also thought og my nanu smoothing henna into cricles on my hands.

 


Natural dye experiments. I went to house of Anetta and put some fabric samples (cotton and silk) into mordants - i tried pomegrante rind, tea, and white vinegar. I wrote down a recipe I found online in my sketchbook. Its crazy but the pomegranate rind turned yellow when I boiled it.


My sister just sent a picture of Aegi. He's so cute.

I have a few more pages in my sketchbook but I know Usama is reading this so I will refrain from uploading those for now haha!

I have lots of ideas. I have a folder called "studying" on Pinterest.

Getting serious with my sketchbook.

Image
 So Getting serious with my sketchbook. I want to. But it's hard to get off my phone. Currently I'm videocalling my boyfriend on whatsapp on this laptop while hes working. I made some natural dyes. with acorns I  foraged in highgate woods.   I really like the shape of acorns and the texture, it was fun picking them from the ground, some were broken open maybe by squirrels and some were half rotten. It was raining a lot that day, but I saw loads of mushrooms as well( and I made sure to touch them all and squish! I love the textures)   This looks like turkey tail. Rings fo green and brown. Wolf's milk fungus

Feeling stuck

Image
 I hate being on my period. I feel a bit bored and stuck with my current sketchbook. So I guess that's a sign to start a different project ahha and then I can flit between 2 projects. For the next project I will use the theme of collections. "Collections" is a project that i think is used for the Insights programme. I did do it but I can't remember. And I chucked most of my work from that time bc the house was messy and I hate having too much stuff. Even though I do have too much stuff. Colllection of what? Looking in my gallerry I have lots of pictures of nature: plants, mushrooms, flowers, my allotment. I collected these 4 different leaves. I could use that as a starting point. I'm also thinking of that artist - Andy Goldsworthy who creates sculptures in nature that don't stay forever.  As my foundation tutor would have said it shows the "effervescence of life" or something like that. I think that was his favourite word.  idk or should I look at al...
