painting vs. oil pastel.

errr errr oil pastel. don't like you. go away or i'll cut you up.

 most of the oil pastel drawings i did, i cut up in the process of cutting my book up. but now i actually don't mind the drawings... so it worked out for the best.

sketchbook hateeeee.

i definitely need to rip my sketchbooks up more often...

now i actually like it :)

today at uni we had a group tutorial with jill and i said how i don't really like my work, don't really like this project, and really hate my sketchbook... which is the wrong atttitude. so i went home. ripped up all my sketch book, cut it all up and arranged it back into a smaller book. it makes much more sense now and i can also put in my yarn windings and little weave samples. everything looks much more emily. now i feel much more enthusiastic towards this project and have the weekend to do some experiments.

my yarn book.

it took about a week to finish this book. although, it's not even finished, it will be continuously added to.

i sorted out all the yarns and wools i own and displayed them in colour order in my book. it is now my reference book of threads. i have noted down all the properties of each type of yarn and i know now every thread i own. this might seem a bit of an extreme thing to do, but from doing it i have learnt a lot! and i didn't realise how many colours and types of threads i actually own...

norwich project sketchbook.

just a few images from my sketchbook. nothing special. my style of working has changed considerably over the last few weeks... i don't know if i like it or not.

from the shapes of the tracings i have developed these in photoshop to create a pattern;
