outside

for the first time in ages i sat outisde and enjoyed the fresh air. it felt so good, the sun was shining and the weather was so nice. i also wore shorts in the first time in ages. oh i can't wait for summer; and tomorrow is the first day of august which mean it is one month closer to summer!

another item from my mothers jewelry box

a gorgeous sliver ring from my mums jewelry box which she bought about a month ago while she was in Daylesford, Victoria. i swear she actually finds the best rings that are also quite cheap. this is probably one of my favourite rings that she has, and it reminds of the fork/spoon rings that you can buy from most markets. 

it's monday and i don't care

moni haworth the photographer for johnnys bird has amazing skills, i absolutely adore her photos. every single shot is outrages, crazy and so carefree - she must have a lot of fun doing these shoots. her photos are such a big inspiration to my own photography, ooh i need to do some more photo shoots but i don't have anyone to model for me... very sad. although on a brighter note i have just reached 50 followers! which is obviously not a big number to some of the amazing blogs out there, but it is too me because i didn't even think i would gain even 10 followers so a big THANK YOU to all of you!

drawing yuri

on friday night i started to draw yuri pleskun (the photo of him with the black eye). at first it was quite a breeze because i only started with one side of the face but when i went to draw the other half of the face i struggled quite  a bit. i could not get both his eyes the same shape and on the same line, and then on the right eye i kept rubbing it out and drawing it again so soon the paper started to crinkle (it was so close to ripping!). I don't think it looks exactly like him, but i know that i was pretty close. I have a whole list of models to draw next, so i will keep you updated with my upcoming drawings. for next time i also have to remember to do both eyes at the same time so that i do not have a lot of trouble like i did in this drawing.

she's thin, she's blonde, she says wow a lot.

photo overload below

on everybody's holiday break they deserve a 'do nothing day' and that day for me includes staying in bed all day watching as many tv shows as possible. one of those shows must be skins, especially generation 1 because it will always be the best generation. recently i have been obsessing over cassie from skins generation 1. she is by far my all time favourite character from all the generations, i just can't get over her strange but bubbly personality. the greatest part about her is obviously her relationship with sid but also her wonderful but crazy sense of style. i just love everything about her.

so it is currently my winter holidays, and this consists of many 'do nothing days', but also catching up with friends, going shopping, rearranging my room and doing a small amount of homework. oh, like wow lovely - as cassie would say.
