Last night was the private view of the show and had a truely fantastic time. I took this as an opportunity to dress up and wore my little yellow dress. The exhibition was really great and everyone seemed to like my rabbits.
Now here's the weird bit. There is a Most Outstanding Student Award. And I was awarded it.
I was voted most oustanding student of the year.
Weird, huh?
I don't know what my prize is yet because I have to wait till December before I receive it.
I got a £10 gift voucher for my birthday from Beka, which I have now spent on This Is For You by Rob Ryan
and a very pretty new sketchbook.
I am very happy with my purchases to the point where I want to hug them. This Is For You is such a beautiful and inspiring book.
Then Fern convinced me to treat myself and spend half my ema bonus on this little yellow silk dress. I love this dress ridiculously, so I'm very glad she did. It's the sort dress that I can see myself keeping for years and years until it's truely vintage and giving to my own daughter one day.
For my friend's 18th birthday I made her a book of our favourote personal quotes. We're pretty quotable people really. I used her favourite colours in the book design (teal and lime green), and my best handwritting.
There are stories to both the above quotes. The second is particularly funny because it freaked out our teacher a little.
What's the best text message you've ever gotten?

My friend Beka's band (The Soliloquy) are playing at this gig and she asked me to make the poster. The background image is based on a photo but drawn in photoshop and I used fonts that matched the band's existing logos. I'm posting it to a) advertise the gig and b) show you the poster design. She and the other band members loved it and my payment is free entry. :)
This is something I made for Katie for her birthday. To be honest I've wanted to post this for a while but I wanted Katie to see it first. I made the book from thick, stiff cardboard, brown paper, craft paper, sketch book paper and ribbon. And lots of PVA. I found quotes in books and on the internet that meant something to me, and I wrote them on the pages with pictures to match. If you click on each individual picture you can read the quotes. By the way, I'm not a total cheapskate; I bought her stuff too. :)
Also I thought I just say this book used up the last bit of brown paper I had. This is significant because the brown paper made the envelope that Jane sent to me. It was such gorgeous paper that I couldn't throw it away and used it lots of my drawings ('Gravity's on the Increase', the picture for my grandparents, etc.) I just though you might like to know that it went to lots of good use.
