I'm pushing myself to get stuff going as I've got so many ideas for new projects. I need to build up some momentum. <br />
<br />
I've stocked up <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/fancybus?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">my etsy shop</a> with a few of my latest tattoo designs - with more on the way!<br />

Just a couple of ink drawings I did lately. I'm really enjoying using this medium. I can't believe it's taken me this long to even consider trying it. I'm going to try some with washes next. And maybe watercolour..<br />

It seems that birthdays only exist to coax some creativity out of me! This is a card made for my sister, reminicent of <a href="http://thycreativityoverfloweth.blogspot.com/2010/08/birthdays.html">others I have made</a> in the past. There is something about this style of drawing that soothes me. It's alot calmer than the stuff I usually find myself doing. The image of the figure hanging by it's foot is a piece of old college work made using an OHP. One of my favourite projects from the course. And the numbers are extremely old letraset - hence the crispy texture.Jaasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956959307319260380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327621137138186692.post-75014610438487059462011-02-11T12:48:00.000+00:002011-02-11T12:48:48.651+00:00What I Wore Today<div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stupidjasmine/5364823407/" title="17.01.11 - what i wore today by fancybus, on Flickr"><img alt="17.01.11 - what i wore today" height="640" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5364823407_a911a1e2d6_z.jpg" width="484" /></a><br />

This is now almost a month old due to blogger refusing to let me upload anything for weeks!<br />
But better late than never, eh? <br />

I've been meaning to post about them, as I enjoyed them so much. I've been following <a href="http://melstringer.blogspot.com/">her blog</a> for a little while now, and her drawings are so delicate and beautiful and moreish (strange word, but it's true).<br />
<br />

Then, a couple weeks ago I received a lovely little parcel containing an exciting assortment of goodies. <br />
At the time when I bought the zines I think she was a bit swamped with everything, and as a result she was a little behind on orders. So she sent me this parcel as an apology! I was so shocked and touched! It's such a nice gesture. I think everyone should go give her a visit and some love for being so kind and generous.<br />

For now, I'll just post a couple of birthday cards I've made for people recently.<br />
I quite like them. They were really nice to draw. I like the simplicity. They're much more delicate than my usual.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">The idea behind these was to use the medium of temporary tattoos in a way that trancends mere images on the body. I wanted to combine ironic humour with thoughtful juxtapositions which may baffle and confuse some and at the same time enlighten and inspire others. These are not about random images, each tattoo has a meaning, yet it is the wearer and the viewer who decide on it's intended meaning.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The sun was so bright yesterday that it left little shadows of the plastic men who stand on my window. I've never noticed it happen before. I was staring at it for ages, it's was so nice.<br />
<br />
Our tiny, orange toilet room has patterned glass which also casts a beautiful shadow.<br />

It's back to rain now, though. I love rain. I don't know why people always groan when I cheer to forecasts of rain. A week of sun is lovely, but last year's three solid months of sun was too much. And I heard people say it was 'a disappointing summer'! What!? I'd never do well in places which are sunny all year round. I'd go insane. I'd really miss storms.<br />

</div>During Easter I got a bit obsessed with folding origami cranes.<br />
<br />
In Japan, the crane is a holy creature and ancient legend says that anyone who folds one thousand cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as a long life or recovery from an illness. They are strung together and given to people for luck and such. I love them, they are so beautiful. I just want to hang them everywhere.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">I was originally inspired by this photo:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The cranes above are slightly different to mine, there seems to be a couple of ways to do it.<br />
I used <a href="http://www.origami.org.uk/origamicrane.htm">animated instructions</a>, which makes it much easier to understand. I have a book of origami which I've never understood - it's so much easier when you're <em>shown</em>.<br />
<br />
It is really therapeutic once you get into a rhythm and stop looking at the instructions for guidance. I don't think I'll ever forget it now. I only got up to about 50 in total. Not sure what to do with them. Gifts, perhaps?<br />

I'm trying to figure out PayPal. It's very confusing to me. It's apparently very easy and straight forward. I always want to know the complete ins and outs of these things.<br />

I'm going to see Bat For Lashes tonight at the <a href="http://www.dlwp.com/default.aspx">De la Warr Pavillion</a> in Bexhill. I bought her newest album for my friend for Christmas and she saw an advertisement the week after for a live show in the town next to ours! Coincidence? The singer does live in Brighton though, which is very close.<br />
<br />
I was just thinking about it and realised I actually don't know very many of her songs. I have 'Precilla' and 'Horse and I', which I love, but she'll be singing new stuff now. The only song I have from her new album (<a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Bat+for+Lashes/Two+Suns">Two Suns</a>) is 'Glass', which is brilliant.<br />
<br />

<br />
I think this will certainly be a most triumphant delight for both eyes and ears!<br />
We are on the balcony, so hopefully we can actually see her.<br />
<br />
I'm excited now.<br />

<strong>RE: Bat For Lashes</strong><br />
<br />
She was glorious! I really enjoyed it.<br />
I'm going to buy her first album right now and swap with my friend for the second one.<br />
She played songs from both her albums and she did a one-off special performance with a string quartet as well, and performed covers of her favourite songs, including Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill'.<br />
I wanted to buy a t-shirt but they wouldn't take a card. Damn. The last concert I went to I left the t-shirts I bought on the tube! I was so freaked out about travelling home at 2am that I forgot about them. A chatty Brazillian man helped me get the right trains. Stressful, to say the least.<br />
I've made a deal with myself to go see more live shows and perfomances in future. I want to see 'The Lion King' again. I was in tears from the very beginning.<br />
<br />
Anywho, I'm going to do some college homework now. Got an essay to write.

For a while now, knitting has been one of these.<br />
I can knit, basically, but not well, and I've found it hard in the past with my lack of patience for such things. But I'm determined to finish something.<br />
<br />
Friday came and I decided to get the sticks out and have a go.<br />
I had started a hat last year, from <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=61208.0">the easiest pattern I could find</a>. <br />
I realised halfway that I'd made it baby-sized and gave up. I ripped this violently (and reluctantly, as it was actually perfectly done with not a stitch out of place) from the needles and started again. <br />
It was late, I was tired, the whole thing was poorly planned. I ripped it from the needles about ten times before retiring to bed and sleeping like a baby.<br />
<br />
The next morning I succeeded first time. No problem.<br />
Finished it the day after, sewed it up and added some sparkles.<br />
<br />

She has three - Errol, Jerry and Tom. I might do all three.<br />
I think she'll appreciate that. I feel I need to make her something.<br />

Hands down. <br />
These, however, were cheap knock-offs posing to be exquisite delicacies. I made the same mistake a few months ago and their poor quality gave me a headache. Bad, bad, bad. We took them to my Nanny Barb's house and she ate the lot, just as we planned. She'll eat anything.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

These were just the result of a watercolour urge. And I just fancied something with a flamingo.<br />
I would have said these were a few years old, but it seems they were only last years, according to the dated signature. I always find it odd that I can never date art from memory.<br />
