October break!

So I've been using this week off from college to really focus on my macrobert brief, it's still something I'm not fully enjoying but nothing to do but power on... I'm in the construction stage, I have my 3 large scale origami stars folded and painted and I've just pinned and glued sections that are being a little temperamental. Next step is to start covering them..I have my felt that I spent 2 days making 12 large sheets so my arms are definetelly feeling it but this will help me to incorporate my 70s colour theme and help protect my peice from the dreaded fireproofing issue. I also have my laminated sheets of familiar Xmas objects such as bells and holly and I intend to stitch and couch into them to add some alternative texture and surface dimension. So basically I have my bits tomorrow it's just time to being it all together :)! Oh and I have old fashioned Xmas photos that I've thought about incorporating too but who knows?! 

As far as PDP is concerned I haven't even glanced at it this week as I've been too focused on project 1 but I definetelly hope to gather the last of my research this weekend to hopefully make a start on my graduation plan, although I'm still unsure of my first choice of route, so although I intend to start it I may just end up spending the day staring at my folder! :( 

I haven't really talked much about my critical writing project on this but I feel confident with my plan. At first I had a vague idea about doing something in reference to eating disorders or body image, but I had too many different topics so after some much needed thought I've come up with discussing the impact of Photoshop and the media on self image. This gives me enough to talk about indepth without going off on random tangents. I feel confident with this essay proposal idea and hopefully David (lecturer) will too! 

Aaaaanndd that's it..(breathe) 

Note to self: blog more so I don't have to write an essay every time I do lol.
