Flash Back Friday

This song is all kinds of funky. 

Fashion: Florals? In Spring?....

Despite what Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada thinks, I love spring and I love florals and I love them together. 

Here I am defying all the rules. 

(you can always defy the rules as long as you wear a grey t-shirt because a grey t-shirt will go with everything). 

Arty Farty: Finished Product

...Ground control to Major Tom!

I'm back, baby!

My internet went totally AWOL for a while there so sorry I've been away so long.

(you forgive me? Good.) 

As promised, here is the finished product (YAY!) of my art final! 

It's done entirely in pointillism. 

Hope you like it!

Stay tuned and stay classy,

Arty Farty: I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar

I have quite a love of digging through oooold photographs.

I found this one in a family album.

This is my great grandma, and she was a pretty special lady.

In this picture she is in her nursing uniform.

I love finding out the stories of these women of the 'olden days',

having to make a path for themselves in a world dominated by men. 

I did a little art series juxtaposing the beautiful oldness of the photographs with typography showing 

my favourite feminism quotes. 

'I Am Woman' is one of my all time favourite songs

and pretty much the feminism anthem. 

It rocks... just like you.

Roar like a lion today. 

Poetry: Sea Of Voices

Style: Oh! Spring how I love you

How much do you love spring!

The sun is out!

The birds are out!

The flowers are out!

The snakes are out (oh)...

Maybe not the snakes. 

Utterly terrified. 

But as you can see I am combating my fear because the fruit is also out, 

and I can make lemonade. 

(there was some dispute as to whether these were in fact oranges or lemons 

(said the bells of St Clements) but we did eventually discern that they were the latter. 

I might even share my lemonade recipe 

(because you're just all so spesh and it's so spring). 

I love that weather where it's still cold enough to wear pants, 

but warm enough to go bare sleeved and sandal clad. 

I also love when an entire outfit is op shopped!
YAY! 

Wishing you safety from slithery bitey things and lovely weather,

Arty Farty: A Decade Of Change

Hey guys, 

I thought you might appreciate a little peek into what my life is revolving around 

right now. 

This is the first piece in a series of ten,

focusing on the 1960's in Australia. 

I've been using pointillism as it's representative of pixels,

like the events would be portrayed on television 

to families at the time. 

I wanted to explore Australian events of major change because 

I feel like significant events happened here too,

that are relatively unknown to the rest of the world.

This picture is of Frank McFarlane, 

known as the father of immunology 

for his work in the bodies immune response, 

specifically around clonal expansion and deletion. 

Because science. Anyway, he was 

awarded the Nobel Prize. 

(interesting side note: Alfred Nobel

decided to invent the Nobel prize to deflect attention 

from the fact that he also invented dynamite...

there were a lot of people not too pleased with him at the time!) 

So, 

this is my first image in the works :) 

(Please excuse my just-showered hair, I told my dad not to take it with flash haha) 

Hope you like it! 

I'll post the finished product soon...

once I finish it ;)
