The End Draws Closer.......

Oh my gosh.

Its nearly here.

So near infact, that the studio has been stripped out and we've been filling, sanding and painting our exhibition spaces all week.

I have to admit, I was pretty lucky with my wall - it was already there, and wasn't in too crappier shape.....saying that, I had a bucket load of red wax to get off the wall, and over 200 holes to fill in. But, having worked like a mini machine for the past couple of days I'm almost done!!! One more coat of paint tomorrow, then on Saturday M&D are hopefully coming down to help me hang my pieces!!!! Then I've just got the floor to do :)

People are doing my HEAD in.......trying to out-do everyone else on how much they've got to do and how much harder it is and more stressed they are. SHUT UP!!!! IF YOU'D BEEN ORGANISED IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU WOULD BE FINE!!! ITS YOUR OWN BLOODY FAULT SO SHUT UP!!!!!!!!! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh if people weren't being twats it would make life so much less stressful! *sigh*

I don't care. Deadline is 9 days away, end of Sememster and thus end of uni is 18 days away. And then its holiday time!!! Woooo *we're going to ibiza* (not for clubbing.....)

lalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This might just be it..........

Big, enormous, major news.....

*I'VE FINISHED!!!!*

I actually finished my last piece today.

Hasn't actually sunk in yet.
So here it is. The last one (still doesn't seem real!) It's using the Laura Ashley fabric again, this time it has a VIOLENT theme.......


None are terribly serious (to a certain extent....), especially my Spartan warrior......

Just need to bubblewrap this one too, and I'll be sorted. Well, not really - still have to finish off my 5 sketchbooks, do the proffesional pack, do the exhibition statement and prepare my show space....but to be honest, its not really that bad.

*WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

Ok, now its sunk in :-D

Edging Ever Closer......

Yes, it has been a while. But I've finished my fourth piece.
Appologies for the clutter in the photo, space is getting very tight in the studio. This is another narrow piece - 59x186cm (or however big the other one is..I may have just made that up completely!)

This is my Artist Piece - I have chosen a handful of artists who have interested me at some point or other, who's style of work fitted in with the design on the fabric.

I'll give you a shiney nickel if you can tell me who all the artists are :) (sorry buddies, if I've told you already then it doesn't count!)


OK, so first I would need to get some shiney nickels.........ho hum!!

With basically 3 weeks left (************!!!), I've got one piece left to do. This one will be another large piece, using Laura Ashley fabric again (god, the hastle I went through...you would not belieeeeve how cursed I am in the world of delivery!!) and the content is changing again...this one's going to be the violent piece; with cherubs shooting people and buildings up in flames. I'm doing it the same style as the other two large ones - the stitch merging with the original design so that the audience has to LOOK.

On another note, my business cards now look *uber* amazing....come to the degree show and get one :-D

And I'm looking forward to spending some time at home...I need my mum!! She came down to visit today, which was awesome...and she really liked all my work *woo*

And keep an eye out for another blog/website.....
