Film; London Train.

This is the small selection of a roll of film I took on my Mamiya on the way to London. I wanted to show my journey in a unique way, I did it in B&W purely because the film was only B&W to be able to select but also because I was adding an aged theme to all my photos.

On the first landscape mount, I actually put masking tape on the roll of film to show Where to start and where to stop the exposure, a bit of masking tape was shown when I exposed the light to the paper and shone through, revealing part of the picture of the lights at night on the road.

Certainly a tip I would do again given the chance. What a happy accident!

   

Tattoo Design ; Blossom.

This is my tattoo design I drew for college to make into cup transfers ages ago.

I designed this and another intricate floral design for teapots to fulfill my criteria for my 'Potty about pattern' project. I love Blossom and I wanted it tattooed over a scar on my right hip, It will symbolize that whatever my life throws at me, I will blossom out of it, always in the best way I can.

The scar on my right hip is from when I was little and my dog Monte was too much for me to handle, and he ran pulling me down the farm lane on the gravel to see another dog. I was led there bleeding from my side my face, my elbows and my knees.  I needed to meet a friend that day and I wanted to bring the dog. Bad idea. So I walked to meet her anyway dripping with blood, and we walked back to mine so I could get cleaned up. Soon after I was all patched up and okay we took Monte in the fields on my farm instead. Franki threw a bone to Monte and it hit me in the head. Luckily no scarring from that one.

Below are the photos from the tea cups and pots I made in college in 2010.

(I'll scan them in from my sketchbook later.)
