Summer Term

 Have just had the most fabulous two weeks working for a mannequin company in London. It was a place I visited for work experience back in year 10 and I loved the people, the feel to the place and the odd pieces of body parts lying around. Feel so inspired by all the things I learnt while I was there and desperate to come back to the company at some point with the right knowledge and training behind me.

 I also had a fab weekend at home where mum and dad have begun preparing their alternative stag/hen parties. It's a beautiful little space - a bit like a small studio - with windows they found for a few quid at the dump, corrugated tin roofing and stunning views. I will upload some photos soon but don't have any at the moment so instead heres some papier mache balloons...

 Over the weekend I was taking photographs and editing their website for them to get it started. It's still pretty empty at the moment but check it out: http://www.springfieldarts.co.uk There are links to their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages which are worth looking at. Currently they're planning to start up alternative hen/stag dos where they teach the people to sing a song for the wedding (I know it's not waking up on a roundabout in Leeds but still).

 Mum and I also discovered that flour + water makes glue (!) and have begun an art installation for the space with balloons and paint. Pictures below:


The festival was also on, saw Stephen Fry talk and that was wicked. And drank pimms. Happy happy days. Feeling very inspired, want to get home and make stuff!


Also I would just like to say that I have a terrible tendency to be a bitch to innocent people when I first meet them. For example, In freshers I met an innocent boy, lets call him Ralph. Ralph could not have been kinder to me, took interest me, and seeked my friendship. Unfortunately readers I chose to, for no reason, hate him. Reflecting now I think to myself how could I hate such a loving, attractive and all round good person. Now the tables have turned and If i want to keep any friends at uni then I need to suck up to him.

You know you love me, xoxo
