Speech

A speech bubble sewn into my tongue..



I'm still not sure whether I like this or not. One the one hand I really like the idea behind it as if the speech bubble's coming out of my mouth but on the other hand I'm not sure whether people will actually recognise it as a speech bubble.

Also, I'm not sure whether or not to elaborate on this idea of sewing into my tongue or not. I was thinking that I could possibly do a few others with different objects or words as a set of photographs for my portfolio or maybe sew into other parts of my body and do the same thing.

Sellotape art

Here's a sculpture made out of sellotape that I finished yesterday..



I used my sister to wrap the sellotape around each body part separately and then attached them all together at the end. When sellotaping each body part, I wrapped a few layers of the sellotape around her sticky side up and then the rest of them sticky side down so that neither the inside of the outside of the final thing was sticky.

Also I'm not sure if it's too clear but it's supposed to look like it's doing the sellotaping itself..

Shakespeare

Here's an image of Shakespeare (though I personally think it looks more like Van Gogh) created using letraset that I made yesterday. I kinda liked the idea of using letraset letters bunched up to created the dark and lighter areas of an image and I chose an image of Shakespeare for obvious reasons. I kinda wish that every letter would have come out perfectly because as you can see quite a few of them have bits missing from them but I realised that it was impossible for every letter to come out perfect because every time you go over 1 letter with another it sticks to the back of the sheet. I suppose this gives it a rustic effect maybe. Overall I'm pretty pleased with it seeing as though it only took a few hours to finish and I would have loved to have made the final image bigger to include the collar he was wearing in the original picture but letraset's pretty expensive so that's probably not the best idea. Luckily I didn't have to go and out and pay £1.70 a sheet (and times that by ten if you're getting it from turners!) for my letraset because my dad used to be a signwriter so he has a wallet full of the stuff from the 70's. That's some vintage letraset right there!

(btw if you click on the first image you'll be able to see the letters a lot better)

Fish Face

btw this wasn't meant to be a masterpiece or anything I was just bored in front of a mirror..

Blue Dress

Here's an image made from ink that I created this morning. I'm pretty pleased with how the dress turned out and how I blended the light blue at the top to the dark blue splats at the bottom but I do think I ruined it a bit with the her arms and hair. I think it's made it look a bit too cartoony rather than abstract which is what I was going for it.
