Facing the facts

I hate the trains. Was delayed for more than half an hour! and it's not the first. With all that time I could've stayed back to consult with my teacher about my essay topic which was on my to-do list. urghh so annoyed.

Dog hat

Old pic, new head piece ha.

Inspired by this

found randomly on tumblr. It's a bit creepy but I like it. I was thinking of making a tumblr, well I think I should cos majority of my blog is of photos and stuff and they have some cool tumblrs around but then nah. It's not the same. One day.

So Tuesday's class was sculpture, I can never rock up in time for this class for some reason maybe cos the teacher doesn't really mind if you're late and you just need to be there. Well I arrived an hour late and just didn't rock up to the actual class but went to the library instead to actually start on the qvm project and got something done.

21st-27th total = $43.90

Beware of the unexpected

Shitty feeling day. Went to eat at a restaurant with my family which we haven't done for awhile. It was nice. Then made some cream puffs for my mum to bring to some place. Everything just annoys me these days and there's a stinking rat in my room which was staring at me twice in the same spot. far..

I forgot to mention my fox drawing has gone missing from my studio space since Friday! I was a bit shattered, just curious to where it's gone..

Bare Fluffy

doing what she does best

Looking through space

So today had painting class in the morning with a new teacher. Just fixed up some bits and pieces. Nothing special happened today besides an asian lady sitting next to me on the train home offering me some almonds, which was nice. That's all. I like train rides, not really packed ones. You can feel time passing by slowly and you just drift off in another state, well for me. I think it's the only time where I get to think about nothing most of the time even though I think I do that a lot anyways. It's just something..

Working on this atm of my little boy.

My patch of grass leftover from the exhibition! that is pretty awesome. It feels so nice.

Fish friend

Mum bought this frame ages ago and I thought I might just fill it cos it just annoyed me seeing it lying around. Tada!

Stanley

Dirty Laundry

Some itouch snaps from my little exhibition in bld. 66. First group up and it took less than a week to put up. Thanks to my whole group! That's all for that class done this semester. The fake grass is so cool.

14th-20th total: 85.21$

The two lovely stooges

Yellow

Today had painting class. Didn't get to do much cos left to continue with the exhibition thing which is half way there. It was the last class with Shane Jones. He actually helps and cares. He showed us a glazing technique today. And I think my other painting teacher is leaving too. They both know my name, feels nice. Ah well, I wonder who will teach us next.

ps. I really dislike slow walkers farrrr especially when it's in a group too.

My new paintbrush holder, japanese print. Also some wooden golliwog.

in progress...

haha this always makes me laugh for some reason.

Preparation

Little experiment painting on glass.

So this year for painting I'm basing my work around this relationship between my dog and I. I think. Human and animal relationship. People ask why my dog, I'm not too sure besides the fact that he's adorable and he likes me. I think we just have this little connection that no one else has. and no I'm not that in love with my dog. ha. also why gnomes? I think there's just something about them little cheeky things. They aren't what they really ARE!

Sneaky shot. I am so helping out. My group for exhibition due Monday! First group to go. So much stuff to do, sorta, in so little time. Was my day off, came to meet with the group to set up. We shall get it done, for sure. The place is such a chill area, I want a studio over here instead.

Something I found today while looking through 'costumes for your dog' at Dymocks. Teehee it's so cute, I wanna do that to my dog. It'll look so ugly on the sides though.

Choc cake

My $5 Timberland shoes from the market

It's a classic chocolate cake. It looked so pretty with the icing on! (pictured above) like it was all smooth and shiny. It tasted pretty good too even though I thought it'll taste more chocolatey cos of how much chocolate I put in, still decent. It was all gone once it was cut anyway so I was happy.

That's my brother in a fish tank.

These past few days, havent been doing anything much really. Had hotpot after class on Friday night, Saturday morning market then grocery shopping for a barbeque on Sunday, also made a cake late that night. Sunday home bbq for brother's birthday and his friends and today home once again painting bits and pieces. Feels so sad staying home on nice days. I wanted to go to moomba on the Sunday to see Red Ink and Lisa Mitchell perform but I had no one to go with and I remember the weather was half great; hot then it started pouring, what typical Melb weather.

7th-13th total: 85.49$

The Three Inventors

I reckon this is some hardcore short animation for 1979. It goes soo smoothly. He used paper and card and some kind of magnet, apparently from what I've read. The storyline: 'a white lace universe with three inventors who create a machine which are both pretty and useful. But unfortunately people do not understand them.' -imbd

Fox wants a ride

He's coloured! and on my studio wall. Managed to get some work done today in painting. I wanna post some pics up but then I don't cos it doesn't look finished just yet. Maybe later. Just felt like posting something. Here is a nice tune.

Mr. Scribble

Today is such a shitty day. Felt so crappy in the morning I arrived in the city 15 min early before class and ended up 20min late just cos I wanna. I really cbb with the QVM project and haven't done anything whatsoever for this class. Was planning to stay at the studio longer but I felt sick and left early. Another long ass day tomorrow.

haha I like this! such a towelie from south park.

no no no

Told myself not to spend money starting from today on random things, yet I did. And it's the first day! I'm so not gonna last the week. Shall keep note on the amount that I'm spending and see the total at the end of the week. Today had only one class, just had a group discussion in our little groups for our exhibition assignment where we make our own exhibition to see what happens and everything and a talk by the guys at project space.

One in a billion

I'm sinking in behind the crowd, hiding from the rest of the world, trying not to show my ugly self. Always thinking of what would happen instead of just going for it, then I start regretting.

Holla boy

My baby boy was sick yesterday :( He would just sit in a little corner far away from where he would normally sit. Apparently I think he had a rash near his bottom and he stank! so gave him a wash. It was irritating watching my parents cut his hair cos it was getting in the way and spray this thing that stings on the area. Oh I could feel his pain. He is all better today though! so it's all good. Spent the day in the studio painting from 9:30 to 3:30ish. My teacher is such an inspirational nice man.

Orangina

In last nights theory class.

Went to the night market for a bit with Thu after since it was the last day. Was packed as, moving around was hard. Then we went to eat some dumplings.

Today is my day off! was planning to do some painting but realised I've left everything in my studio, even my sketchbook. boo.

Oh yes, orangina will give you a wooo feeling.

Little creatures

Today after class had a little feast with Thu at Little creatures in Fitzroy. We've been planning to try this place for a while now. There's not that much on the menu mainly pizza and cider drinks! Was an awkward entrance in though.

Kransky with cheese, spanish onions, chutney. yumm

Some brushetta

Salmon, asparagus, tomato, creme parsienne pizza

After heading back bought some waffles near the Subway. $7

Oh the money spent. Not just today but all those other days as well! eg. Sunny day then it turns cold I wanna buy a jumper for the day, Cold windy day I end up buying a hat, getting to the train station early makes me go to the op shop close by to waste time and end up getting something there. I think it's mainly the weather. Having all this with little money equal no job feels quite sad but it's alright so far. I've been coping but still~ So my aim after this week is to not buy anymore clothes, or random stuff that I don't need which I sorta tried doing before, no more eating out unless there's an occasion or something like that, go jobhunt.. once again and just have a budget for the week. sigh. I don't think this will last that long.
