Project no.5 - Barca Book

This page i used as a 'drunk page' and wanted my friends, who baring in mind, are all art students to draw something on it and i got a scribbled out moo face, an american football and a salami breath man. I like the salami breath one though.

So here is my Barca Book. I used an old diary that i bought from a booty as a sketchbook because i thought it would be a nice little thing to use and i've been waiting for a good reason to use it. I tried to fill it with bits and bobs as well as drawings so it's a bit packed out, but i'm going to use it for whenever i have my next holiday so it'll be even thicker. I had a really good time but as you can see by the weird luggage tags on the last page, my effin case got left in Barcelona. I'm not gona lie, i cried like a baby. I had about a third of my proudest 'vintage' collected clothes and stuff in there but THANK CHRIST it's back by my side. The baggy baggage man was so pessimistic and made it sound like it was gone forever. It's seriously making me consider not ever taking a case on holiday, just a small hand luggage one or something, so it's always by my side, safe and sound. Anyway, i had the best time.

envelope for project no.4

This is the envelope for no.4. I used the dog tea towel that i used for the naked drawing book because i thought it was quite fitting. Hopefully it wont get ruined.

Project no.4

So this is project no.4. I'm such a disgrace. Only four projects in the space of...5 months ish? Anyway, these are 'dog tags'. My friend Ollie's getting a pup and i thought i'd draw some dogs to brainstorm possible new names or something like that. Not very imaginative but they'll do.

envelope for project no.3

I love this envelope. I've really wanted to buy one of these for ages, but thought they were too good for ebay. So now, finally, i have a real reason to use one. It's from London Graphics Centre and was only about £1.45 i think. They do them in loads of different colours and sizes too. The head thing i bought from a car boot sale for 15p. I've got another one too just incase i need a small child's head for anything. They're gona ruin this at the post office though with their crappy white labels.

Project no.3

Oh Ke. So here is 'the massive' sketchbook project. I made the book with fabric and card and sewed in the pages and just drew in it. I mostly drew people i know without heads but i'm not sure why, and then i got a bit carried away and put anything in there. It's not the best but at least i've whacked another one out of the way. I'm so lazy. Actually i'm not, i'm just working full time at Tesco and it's killing me.

Project no.2

So this is the second thing i've made to send off to my tutor and it's so basic and small but i'm planning on making quite a big one for the third, something like a WHOLE sketchbook....of about 10 pages?

The little bear brooch is just drawn onto fabric and padded. I used a paper bag for the envelope because i went crazy a few months ago and bought about £40 worth of these striped paper bags in different colours and sizes. I thought they'd come in handy if i ever live my dream of owning some sort of shop or making some sort of zine thing and i can put it in one of these. I seriously have thousands.

shoes.

I collect everything and i feel like taking pictures of everything i collect. Shoes is obviously one of the things i collect. I hope so any way, otherwise i might have a shoe fetish?

Nanny Flag

This is a little flag thing that i've made to send to my tutor for our summer brief. I've been really bad and only made this so far and still have another 5 things to make! But i'm going to churn them all out now over the remainder of July and the whole of August so i'm not that bad am i? Or am i? I duno.

The flags are made from different patterned fabrics and are double sided, it's not neatly made but i wanted it to have a rough-ish look. Just got to think of how to package it now.
