Kiss Me, Deadly

I've started reading a book called Kiss Me, Deadly by mickey Spillane, it's amazing, it starts off with a brilliant entrance from our femme fatale and the action begins. It's not a slow read and so far I'd describe the characters with three S's, Slinky, Sexy, and Sly !! I was drawn to the book by the cover, however I can't find an image of it on the internet so I'll have to scan it in... HOWEVER... I have found some alternatives and some movie posters which  I LOVE just as much... have a ganders !

This last one is my favourite !

Hello Miffy

Created in 1955 Miffy was ahead of her times. Minimalistic lines and block, primary colours made her quite futuristic looking back. I LOVE Miffy, she stars on over 50 stories. As much as I love HelloKitty I think I definatly prefer Miffy :) xo

Leggings Vs. Skirt

What do you do with an old pair of leggings that have a hole in the crotch? Why make a skirt of course !

Last night in a local town I saw a poster for a make do and mend evening. Of course being me I've missed it, but I was inspired to make something to wear out this evening. 

Beautiful

Oh Mary Mary quite contrary

Found some laaavly original Mary Quant stockings... can't wait for
them to arrive Sneak a peek ...

Photoshop Layers Vs. Tracing Paper

For my portfolio ready for interviews we are supposed to have life drawing in. I know it's important and it sounds stupid but I hated the model a college so I've decided to do some self portraits. I decided to add a bit of Graphic Design edge and do the outline in fine liner like you might in Illustrator. I used tracing paper to do it on, and then I did a third sheet/ layer with some colour added on to put behind and layered them up like you can in PhotoShop. I definitely prefer things made in real life than digitally !

Rummaging

Through some web sites and I found these lovely things.

Rob Ryan

I found a refernce to this guy on another blog so I looked him. My sister got given a book by him a couple of years ago, I think it's incredible. I love birds, and I love the words on the second piece I've posted here. I think it's full of wisdom. Love.

I made potato stamps...

So one of my rojects at college was to create a logo for an imaginary company. So I choose Love Bicycle. I decided to create a company that makes bicycle accessories for Chic Cyclists in the city. So bike pumps, tool kits, and bells. The crest is hand drawn and all uneven and is supposed to resemble handle bars decorated with flowers ! I almost wish this company existed :)

My logo for "Love Bicycle"

The products that my logo might be found on.

PARIS

Finally got some of my photos from Paris developed. Unfortunately one of the black and white films didn't come out. I almost hit the girl behind the counter when she told me. Then I remembered it wasn't her fault. Anyway, I have cropped some of these because the lens I had with me was quite wide angled so I got a lot in each shot but anyway... ENJOY ! ... (P.S DON'T FORGET to click for bigger views of each shot)

Some quit sweet graffiti in the arch way leading from the Louvre

The Gare De Lest, our local metro station that happened to be housed behind these fantastic arches

EVERYONE cycles EVERYWHERE ! So many bikes everyhere, with baskets on the front, the back bent wheels, big chains, front lights, no lights, no saddles... the list is endless they were amazing !

Oops.. wrong way. Found him hiding in a little alley way whilst taking a short cut to the Gare De Lest !

The view from my hotel window, quite the little sun trap in the day. I took this when we first arrived at sunset.

The Sacre Coeur, where Amelie was filmed ! I was so excited. We came back and rode the Merry Go Round twice.

The view from the Sacre Coeur. 1 second shutter speed :S ! Beautiful view, feels like your standing on the top of the world.

Metro metro !

Look at the size of his... GUN! All the police had massive weapons !

Lovely trees along every street of lovely apartment blocks. One day one shall be mine.
