I had a job last night. I was dreaming, but I had a job. I worked as an assistant to a woman. We worked in her house, where she lived with her husband. The house was open concept; very open. From what I could tell it was made of entirely wood and glass. The stairs and bookcases had no backing; everything looked like it was … Continue reading The Shark & The Whale
I made a horse and a bird in a cage. I did something totally new with the horse and got back to simple sculpting with the bird in the cage. I’ve got something exciting planned for my next sculpture; but since I have big hopes I also have realistic expectations that it might fail (a la kayak and wolf experiments). However, it if works it … Continue reading On The Farm
Plasticine is a very dirty hobby. For the last two days my hands have been greasy, sticky, and tinged blue; I went through half a bottle of soap just to clean them. But, I have managed to use every last bit of plasticine, which means it’s no longer just sitting on my shelf wasting its potential. At first I thought I’d make mostly animals/real things … Continue reading Animals & More
So, it’s the day before Valentine’s Day and while everyone else is putting the finishing touches on their romantic weekend plans I am busy creating an army of clay aliens. Clayliens. Continue reading Clayliens
This is a simple list of things that I want to buy once I finally get a job: Groceries Dish detergent [Feb 20: Simon was having people over and no one seemed to care what the house looked like, so I bought the damn soap and washed all the dishes.] Postage stamps 3M wall hooks A cake pan Ingredients for Cheese and Artichoke dip Chinese … Continue reading A List
So, today I got back in the wire game. Surprisingly, I came up with this idea on my own, but to get the details right I looked up some photos of hot air balloons and there are some crazy balloons out there. Here are some of my favourites: Darth Vader is obviously my favourite. What’s yours? Continue reading Up In The Air
Well, it’s official. The dream is changing. Ron left York on February 8th. He found a little bit of work in Staffordshire and gave his month’s notice to his roommates to pursue it. But, fortunately for me he’s not completely gone. He left half of his possessions in my room for safe keeping. Among the things he left were, a lamp (now on my desk), … Continue reading Something Borrowed
Remember Vitamin C? Singer of such songs as “Smile” and “Graduation (Friends Forever)” – well she’s back, sort of. I never thought someone would look back into 1999, see Vitamin C’s hair and think, “I want that, but with more orange!” But here we are, ten and a bit years later and one Hayley Williams, from the band Paramore, has done just that! On a … Continue reading When The World Gives You Lemons, Dye Your Hair
It’s been a few days since I did a wire post, and even still I only have two new things to share. It was a rainy day in England and I thought, what better way to stay try then a tiny wire umbrella? And something for the nature lovers, another flower. This time it’s not in a pot, it’s 3D, and it’s free standing. More … Continue reading Two’s A Crowd
I just wanted to post this video tour of my house for all my friends and family who have been wondering where I am living. Also, for anyone who is wondering, I did eventually try all the pasties at the shop (except for Roast Pork, because they discontinued it before I got the chance to try it). My favourites are Deluxe Vegetable and Traditional Steak … Continue reading Something Old
