This little Birdy.

This little birdy didn't last too long.

Even after it was dead.

Willow ate it. 

Ew.

I should have really cropped these all to the same size. but oh well.. ha. 

I cant wait to see what the pictures I took on my Olympus will look like. better get myself in the dark room soon. 

The Skies The Limit

So this evening the sky has been so beautiful so I took the time to go out and take some pictures,

 the colours haven't been as nice as it has been the past couple of days 

but the cloud form was truly amazing.  

Here's the original image, I really love the light orange tones in contrast with the dark foreground. 

I edited this by turning the image black and white and adjusting the tones slightly. I really like this image as the middle cloud formation stands out.

what do you guys think ?.. 

Everything Noughties!

A new project!
   
     So over half term we're been set a project to research a given year, im sure you can guess i got the noughties! and im so excited ! The year of my Favourite band S club 7!, the best films Harry Potter, Uggs have come into fashion and my feet have never been so warm in the winter. Good Times.
     Although we shouldnt forget all the events that are less fortunate , such as the london bombings, the attack on the world trade buildings, plus the death of many iconic Celebrities.
     We have been asked to produce a sketchbook, built up of reseach and drawings based around the era given, so to prepare for this task i have come up with a list including, historical events, the music indusrty, fashion, media, and art movements.

Any way this must be prettty boring and i have no pictures to post on this so im gonna leave it here and post about something new soon!

Chilli Skeleton

So the story behind this picture I hear you ask ?.. 

Well ill start from the beginning, My Dad, has well to say the least a very large farm of chili plants that he grows, built up of many different varieties, Including , Paper Lanterns, Habanero, Bhut Jolokia, Scotch Bonnets and that's just naming a few! I'd be here all evening if I tried listing them all. 

So my Dads a moderator of a forum called Fire Foods, (which unfortunately you have to join to look on, but I will post the link in-case you fancy joining.) So anyway, being it almost Halloween, they set up a competition    for the members to design a Halloween inspired 3D model  like a jack'o'lantern, but you could present it in your own way. As soon as my Dad told me about it, this idea popped into my head and I had to do it!.. I think I got a little over excited about playing with chilli's, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. So anyway if you Fancy having a go and a chance to win some Sauces, then log on and see what you can do :) I'm sure they'd love to see what some of you can come up with :) If you've not got some chilli's to play around with why not try different vegetables ? everyday ones Carrots, Potatoes, Brussels sprouts.. the possibilities are endless and I'd sure love to see what you guys can come up with.

Happy Blogging!

My T-shirt.

Firstly id like to apologise about the poor quality of the picture, I took it on my phone, but will defiantly be doing a photo shoot very soon!

Well after lots of hard work my t-shirt is finally done! YAYAYAY..

Yesterday I spent the afternoon in the print room, printing my T-shirts. I found it a fairly easy process, you have to print off your original image and scan it a few times- as you can only use the picture once..

you then place your chosen image onto the fabric upside down, and use screen wash to wipe across the image- this releases the ink from the picture, which makes the print. You then lay a piece of paper and plate(a think sheet of metal) over the print then cover with the over fabric on the press and roll over the images, once it have been completely flattened, you remove all the outer materials, so you will be left with your t-shirt and the images you wiped over, you then take the images off and you should be left with a print of the image, you then leave it to dry, And your t-shirt is done :D

I'm really pleased with the outcome of my t-shirt, I think the middle image really stands out on the white t-shirt between the black and white images. I also really like how the image quality isnt perfect as it gives a really nice worn effect.

Im hopeing to print off a few more copies of this T-shirt but with a different arangement of images on it, to see what looks good and just so I have some future refrenece to say that I experimented with different arrangements.

What do you think ?.

Lets chuck around paint.

So on glorious Wednesday, i spent the day with my beautiful friend Tyler, producing some well to say the least amazing pictures( I'm not being big headed honest).
It was a artistic masterpiece, I'm so happy with the outcome!, and cant wait to get using them for my t-shirt printing... SO EXCITED. i may have to start my own clothing line.. all my friends have put in demands to have a t-shirt printed.. so i better get started soon otherwise I'm gonna have some disappointed friends.

ahh look I'm going on about my t-shirt printing and haven't told you about thing about the design or what we did Wednesday.. so basically, i had a field trip chucking paint around.. in an artistic manner of course!..

So i made a makeshift back drop out of a white bed sheet in my friends back garden and created my little outside studio.. sadly i had to borrow her cannon as i had planned to do it at my house but missed the bus so did it in Ipswich instead.. i missed using my Nikon as i know how to use it better.. but anyway.. once all set up we got to the fun part...

i splatter my friend with paint over her clothes one colour at a time and took pictures as the colours layered to get an awesome effect.. i then cropped the images down to make them the size i wanted and well i think they look fab! here are two of the hundreds of images I've got to choose from...

what do you think ?..

happy blogging,
