My last two days can be summed up by this dollop of cute:


And this nom-alicious brownie:

OH! Can't believe I haven't linked the Llamas with Hats yet!
There's also a second one, which I think is even funnier =)

I couldn't think what noise a goat would stereotypically make, so this had to do:

Went to a cute place called The Packhouse this morning. Been there a few times before. It's very higgledy-piggledy. Bit dark in there though so most of the pics I took are a bit rubbish:









The cow thing's such a cool shopping list thing!
Oh, and this place also does the best goats' cheese and roasted vegetable baguette ever. Yummmm =)

Today was a good day. It didn't start in a promising way, but it turned out like this:
  • Went to Sunna's house and had pizza and Ben & Jerry's nom nom nom
  • Ellie and Vurm came round
  • We decided to drive to Box Hill but this then turned into Epsom Downs 'cause even driving long distances is too much effort for us
  • Sat in the car in the sun with the radio on having a good old chat
  • Found a weird pixelated mask in the car. Turned out to be something Ellie's dad and his friends made because he likes a certain footballer...or something...I'm not too sure...
  • They had ice creams from the ice cream van. (I'm not a big ice cream person. That Ben & Jerry's will last me a while.)
  • We then planned a roadtrip to Exeter and Southampton to see our friends at uni before they come home. This planning involved us all texting on our phones for like half an hour
  • Vurm and I decided we should join a gym, just for something vaguely productive to do
  • Went and sat round my house for a short while before everyone had to leave for dinner that their parents had lovingly made them, whilst my mum on the other hand didn't feeeeeed me =(
So yes. It all pieced together in a relaxing way in the end =)

My mum bought me this awesome owl from a charity shop =) I'll probably use it as a pen pot or something.

In other news, I want to draw rather than just doodle but I'm being too lazy =/

I thought making an animation for my FMP was a pretty dumb idea. So was taking a 6 mile walk in disgustingly warm temperatures:


Cowwwwws! Then I looked down to my side and saw a mauled pheasant =/



Sunburnt shoulders =( I'm going to the Guildford Lido later so I'll probably be a beetroot by the end of the day.

So we all know that I'm absolute crap at digital art and the extent of my colouring is the fill tool. This evening I decided to practise not being so rubbish at colouring and this is the result:


Took a few hours and loads of brushes. I'm quite pleased with it even though it's far from everyone else's level lol. Think it still looks kinda flat but hopefully the loris will distract people long enough before they realise this.

I'm a teensy bit bored already...

It's OVERRRRRRRR!!!
Well, I have to do a bit more in my sketchbooks and hand those in on Monday, but that hardly counts. Went out t'pub last night and bit of shopping today. I 'll focus on work later...
So yes, my foundation course is all done and dusted =) So happy! Already planning summer. I'm thinking night-time BBQ on Brighton beach and also night out in London that involves Trafalgar Square fountain...
I'm working at the Wimbledon Championships this summer - catering and probably chopping up strawberries. They phoned up saying they don't have my references but my old manager said he definitely sent them so that's annoying. I'm counting on that job for £600!
Was sitting with Mr Boyfriend in Kingston today watching pigeons when this old man in the most awesome pink turban came along and was feeding them, and he just looked so happy! He was adorable =) For some reason sitting there made me really happy - summer starting with boyfriend and all that jazz probably. And pink turbans/pigeons combo.
So yes, lots of words 'cause I has a happy!

Discovered love padlocks today. Such a cute idea!
Finally finished gluing all my flick books together. My back and neck ache soooo badly from leaning over for days =( Now need to put covers on books and then put my portfolio together. Neeeearly there...

Ok, so David played this on his radio show today. It made me even happier than the Pokemon remix! =D

#49

My hand is KILLING ME from just cutting out 200 paper squares with a scalpel. It took me at least an hour, and that was only a quarter of what I have to do =(
Went to my first ever pilates class earlier (for some reason I decided it'd be a good idea) and my goddddddd it's hard to get all the positions right! I suck lol. Oh well, it's an experience...

Ok, this is hopefully the last version of my inkblot animation, with sound effects and everything! Oooooooh! It better be the last version. If she tells me to change it I will not be a happy bunny.

This is my desk with only a few days left until deadline:


Kinda messy. With extra cat.
I think I've got a cold coming =( I would say, "A collllllld? In SUMMERRR?!" But the weather isn't really acting like it's summer ¬_¬

I'm so tired. Just dying for this course to be over. I keep thinking that this time next week it'll alllll be done and I won't have to worry about a single damn ink blot ever again. Go faster, week! Though I do still need to make flick books from 831 frames, so maybe could do with a couple of those days stretching out...
Here's another blot alphabet (which I'm also not using):

Went on another walk because I've been stuck in the house for ages working on damn uni work.




Passed a youth hostel and decided it'd be awesome to go hosteling. Maybe this summer, maybe not; who knows how good my organisation will be this year.



And this is a pointless gate I found:


Been adding sound effects to my animations, including Dad's somewhat theatrical squeals of horror. Not sure if I'll keep those...

So we did have chinese last night, which would've been amazing on its own anyway, but one of my friends also brought along some cakes from the Hummingbird Bakery:


They were amaaaaazing =) Especially the brownie cheesecake. Nom nom nom.
Also discovered this morning that the Head&Shoulders Hair Endurance shampoo smells very nice. Lemony. (Just to clarify, I'm not losing my hair or have a dandruff problem. It just happened to be in the shower.) Dunno why that's worth mentioning. Probably because I'm doing whatever I can to put off starting to do some work. I really need to stop blogging so much =/

This project has turned me into a crazy paper hoarder who uses up gluesticks in an extraordinarily short amount of time.
On an unrelated note, decided I should make a list of things to do this summer. Getting pretty excited about finishing my course lol. So far I have:
1) going to a beach (with sand) with a disposable bbq and possibly swimming in the sea
2) making a necklace like this:

because they're always annoyingly expensive.
I like making lists and timetables to organise myself; makes me feel less cluttered.
Going round my friend's tonight for takeaway. Hasn't been decided yet exactly what kind of takeaway but I bet we'll end up with chinese. Oh HAPPINESS ^___^
