Another update!!

Howdy! Well I'm loving my new project idea and the way it's going! Today I did around 79 million prints from 5 woodcuts I did from the collage. The way every picture turns out different amazed me and I liked that so I think I'm going to keep comparing things to eachother! For example I did drawings of the same sketch from two different directions and it looks completely different one of them makes the street look really tall and daunting whil the other taken from above makes the street lok small and insignificant! It's class! I've done a college of panoramic views of the country now too and hope to do loads with that! While I also aim to tak panoramic views of seascape and of the lovely Connemara mountains (That one should be really nice I hope the weather is nice to see the cool colours!). A really cool idea just popped into my head there too to do a picture looking at the landscape views but painting it in the complete opposite side of the colour wheel! That could be a disaster or really cool so I think I'll try it! Talk soon!!!! Nicole!

Okay, well I had my review and feedback and I thinkn everybody including me knows now that I despise maps and cartography!
The only piece that was still interesting me was the panoramic collage of photos I took from the top of riverpoint offices. I am now focusing on these collages and using a viewfinder to focus in on certain parts of it and I am doing tonal excersizes, prints and line drawings of the sections at the moment but I hope to move on and do a painting, a multimedia piece and 3-D piece!
I hope this direction of the project will work out for me!

Follow on again!

Well I did some more texture maps in different ways of the same route I had done before but because of the stupid rain I couldn't get any more rubbings done...BRING ON THE SUN! So I started doing different maps to do with my memories of holidays! I did my trip to Scotland on a ferry and all of the places I have flown! I drew the outline of a map of Ireland too and I think I might link the places that mean something to me but I'm not sure yet! I finished the flip book too, it's cool but so big it doesnt flip well! I am still planning on doing my riverpoint collage I just havent gotten around to it yet! Hopefully this week I will! I'm half thinking of doing something in feltmaking too because making it in the workshop was so fun! I'm kind of a bit stuck at the moment and I might try escape from maps for a while, but I'll see where it brings me anyway!

Oh and I know I havent any pictures up yet but I will this week some time I promise!
Bubye for now!
