Atmospheric digital floral collage


I have always loved photographing, drawing - in fact anything to do with flowers, I love it. So this digital floral collage by Ysabel Lemay was quite something. 
Theres something quite mysterious about her art. The mix between detailed aspects and block shapes is intriguing  Her art could probably be looked at for some time and still you would see something different every time. 

Only a short blog post today, so here's some more photographs of her art:

Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2013 Catwalk

I await this catwalk every season, Elie Saab is hands down my favourite clothes designer. 

Once again, he has outdone himself with the Spring/Summer 2013 collection. I love his style. Every season it is similar but never gets old somehow. His looks are timeless and so chic. 

Despite being beautiful dresses, they must be extremely impractical and hard to walk in - as shown by the copious amounts of tripping by the models. Although quite funny for us. Have a look, amuse yourself with their embarrassment and admire the beauty of the dress:

Here are some of my favourites out of the collection anyway...






The finale was beautiful also, the lights dimmed and the atmosphere built. Above is the dress that finished the show, and in style (with obviously, some more tripping of the model). 

Also this is a celebratory blog post because I got my results for my first semester today and got 85% in my print module! (70% for a First for those who don't know). :) 

Now go watch that video! :)

First experience of weaving

So now I've started back at University again after the Christmas break, I have tried my hand at weaving - something I have wanted to try for a long time. 

It was easier than expected, even if you haven't really got a maths head like me. Here are my first bits of weaving, simply experimenting with different patterns. 

The colours are totally irrelevant to my project so please excuse them! :) 



The above photo won't add unless it goes this way, apologies haha

London Photography

Over the Christmas holiday I organised a trip to London for my boyfriend (sweet I know - I am cute). Here are the photographs I took with my new camera which I had for Christmas - the Fujifilm Bridge Camera. Perfect for a student like me I must say, very near the quality of a DSLR, but with the zoom of a very good compact - (a zoom that would cost a lot if buying as an added on lens)

Forgive my ramblings about my camera, here are the photos! :)
