Cartoon Fashion

I found this artist recently who creates catwalk fashion designs based on cartoon characters. I thought it was a really creative and unusual thing to do.

Windowsill Produce

I came home from a weekend away to find that my chilies and tomatoes have started to ripen.

Sadly, I over-watered my chili a few months back and the leaves have started to drop off but hopefully it'll survive long enough for the other two chilies to ripen.

Does anyone know why my tomato leaves have gone purple?!

Smaug: 6 Months

Smaug's getting bigger. Hopefully in a few months he'll be big enough to join Darwin in the big tank.

Steve Harris Painting

I did this painting for my boyfriend's birthday. It's Steve Harris who is the bassist of Iron Maiden - who is a bit of a hero of his.

I also filmed myself painting it which you can see here: Link
It is done using oils and took around 3 days.

Fabric Sculptures

While searching for ways to repurpose old clothing I came across this image. It wasn't really what I was looking for but I thought it was interesting. this post explains more. I liked this one too:

Sushi

I made prawn and avocado sushi for dinner this evening. I used the chopsticks and shoyu saucer that my housemate bought for me in Hong Kong. (The patterns on them match the living room: link)

Smoothie

I handed in my MA yesterday so today, after setting up part of the exhibition, I came home for a rest.
I made myself this smoothie out of some fruit which was going soft.

Ingredients:
a handful of soft raspberries
a handful of soft red grapes
a couple of soft strawberries
1 banana
enough lemonade to cover
