My boy builds coffins

J' adore this song

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs
He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens them all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to impact he's so eager to please

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you

My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
Each one is unique, no two are the same

My boy builds coffins and i think it's a shame
That when each ones been made, he can't see it again
He crabs everyone with love and repair
Then its thrown in the ground and it just doesn't fit

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you

It's kinda stuck in my head, bit sad really.

I'm addicted to noise putty!- I just had to tell someone (if anyone is there?)

Weekend wonders

This weekend I got my hair cut.
and did 12 pages in my sketch book.



Try not to be too jealous.

Hurrah !

Hurrah for Harry Potter
Hurrah for doing the only piece of art work I've done in weeks
Hurrah for a haircut tomorrow
Hurrah for origami
Hurrah for warm university hoddies
Hurrah for the dusting of snow outside


Hurrah for jars of jam (and a jar of wishes)

What were you doing at 9 o'clock Sunday night?

Well as the snow began to fall and settle about 6 o'clock and by 9 it was lovely and thick and clean. So we went out to do a bit of sledging :)

Nobody was out. We had all the hill to our selves, which was rather nice. But soon as we got very tired and cold we decided to go home. But as I live on a hill I sledged down the road (on the path of course because that would be silly) however it didn't go that well because I kept stopping :(

Mum and I made snow angles in the middle of the T-junction, had a snow ball fight and we could tell that the curtains in houses around us were twitching as spying neighbours were watching.

But did we care?

I sure didn't!

Snow Angle

Up the hill

Hope you have snow too!

Eating my words

Okay okay the last few days at college have been pretty fun!


Maybe fashion is my destiny?

Well, well, well

I've come to the conclusion that college is getting more and more duller!!

We don't as much as we did when we first started, its mostly researching artists, techniques and reasons why things happen!

ITS BORING!

The last 3 weeks we were doing a unit on 'Identity' however I cannot draw people for toffee so it wasn't that fun, we had lectures about kinda rubbish subjects and once you've seen one erotic sculpture you've SEEN THEM ALL!

And for the next 3 weeks we are doing Fashion and Textiles. Although sounds kinda cool! What they want us to do isn't!


I really LOVE art and design and doing it all the time rocks but I'm just confused about what I want to do next year?! And what I decide next year is perhaps what I will do as a carer - for the rest of my life. 3D or 2D. I want to try Product Design yet I want to try Graphic Design then I think I want to do Jewelry or fashion - Theres just so many options?!
I'm going to have to make my choice soon! So I'm planning on making a list. Good points and bad points. So hopefully sooner or later I will come to a conclusion!


Basically I don't want to have to grow up, I don't really want to think about university and where I would live and what I want to have as a job because then you worry about getting old!- I'm sure I have a grey hair just thinking about this all :(

But on a lighter note here's to music by Gemma Hayes, its on repeat here, buying new embellishments for more jewelery, unexpected shopping trips after college and warm Rebina and shortbread biscuits.
