Pretty pink

I decided to gather a small collection of pink-themed things and arrange them on my frilly floral bed. 

The glasses frames are those mentioned in the previous post, the necklace I created by putting a pair of baby scissors on a chain; I got them as part of a mini stationary kit years ago. The Barbie camera was a present for my 7th birthday and has been drifting around as a random possession of no real use recently. The painting  is part of a triptych I did a little while ago, sort of self-portrait based. I did it when I'd just started getting really into pastel things and became obsessed with the idea of pink or lilac hair.

Anyway, bye.

Why I want to go to Harajuku.

There are many reasons. I find the language adorable, the culture fascinating, the fashion innovative; but I also think Harajuku would be the PERFECT place to people-watch. There are so many interesting characters that would be so inspiring for art, and I'd just love to glimpse the day-to-day life of those who call Harajuku home.

Also, just another thing I love; the fact that manga artists are treated like rockstars in Japan. I just think it's lovely that they get so much respect whereas here, it's generally only comic-book connoisseurs that actually know the artists of graphic novels. Like, someone who in this country (or at least in Devon) who wasn't obsessed with comics probably wouldn't know the authors or artists of any. Whereas in a place like Tokyo, I'm guessing it's nearly impossible to be ignorant of a mangaka, because manga is such a significant thing in Japan.

さようなら, Sinead

Here, take a look at some of my watercolours.

I've got really into doing watercolours recently. I never really liked to use them before, because I found doing  tone difficult with them. But after lots of practice I think I've got the hang of them, huzzah!

 Mimi probably trying to drink my painty water, the fiendish thing.

 First of all, I am not a satanist, I just like the shape. Here's a portrait of the beautiful Lana Del Rey. Took me a while to do the hair, but I think it worked out quite well. ^^

Stencil-effect used on the flowers by dabbing them while they're still wet, and making sure I left gaps between the petals.

Veins painted on whilst skin colour was still damp so the blue bled into the skin background.

There's something more exciting and special about taking photographs when you don't know how thy're going to turn out.


Peace, Sinead
