stencils

I made some little stencils and did some repeat prints.
They are quite messy but I think I'll do some more, taking more time over them.

 

 

New Camera

I have a new camera!!

My olympus e450 arrived yesterday, I was so excited I jumped up and down on my bed.

I'm still getting used to it...So beneath are my first very basic shots.

There were a lot of failed dark ones,but I will get there:)

  

 More cutting work from a pack of old rose cards. 50p for a folder of 10 in a charity shop:)

Scalpel

I've been trying to get nifty with a little scalpel!

So far I've managed some small hearts and some shorts names..

I spent some time late last night playing with magic marker pens.

Laundry

I LOVE the project of Sivan Askayo, who has photographed laundry in Madrid, Barcelona, London, Florence, Venice and Buenos Aires. The images are beautiful. This first one I couldn't make out to start with, i thought it was an abstract painting!

 Do check out the rest of the project :

 Here's my laundry picture.

It's more about movement than colour. I liked how the strong wind caused the sheets to swell.

snowflakes and mess.
