Lino Prints and bright hair colours.

So today was my day at university where I have two different modules in one day, busy but fun. The first one is the creative skills one, with this one we got to see the previous years sketch books as well as more advanced sketch books. After we had done this we had a short break and then roughly an hour until our lunch time so I did some photo shop work changing the colours of my hair. My main theme for the project is masks but I also want to incorporate the use of bright colours as well as possibly the use of black and white.

I'd love my hair this colour! It's like a cherry pinky red colour!

Not so sure about this colour but it did the job!

I also quite like this colour for the photo but there is no way that I would ever do it that colour!

Then it was lunch time and Charmaine and I went for lunch at McDonalds. McChicken Sandwich what more can I say, love that stuff! Then we went to Hobby Craft I needed to pick up some things for this afternoon but it was also nice to just have a look and see what they had got in. Compared to the last time that I went they had got more things in.

Then this afternoon we did some Lino Prints, I didn't find them that hard to do but I think that it helped that I did Collograph Prints for my Art GCSE and the two processes are fairly similar. So it was interesting to do we did the majority in black and building up the prints by printing it once and then cutting away some more and the process just kind of kept repeating it. We also got to use purple ink and got showed how we could use gradient inks (two inks rolled together) so if we want to do this again in the future we are able to do it.

This evening I've done a bit more work and also started the process of backing up all my photographs. I have a lot of photos on my mac, and while I have them copied on to CD's my mac doesn't have a CD Drive, so they're fine for being used on other computers just not mine. Then mum found this usb memory stick called a picture viewer! They come in four different sizes and can store up to 4,000, 8000, 16,000 and 250,000 photographs depending on what megapixel your camera is. I bought the 8,000 and because my photo's are done in a higher quality (more megapixels) I was only able to put roughly 3,000 photos on to it instead of 8,000. So I've now bought the 16,000 one that should finish of transferring my photos. The best part about it is that as long as I take the usb stick with me wherever I go and if there is a computer, I can plug it in and be able to see all my photos. It's small and easy to carry.

Until Next Time

A Girl With A Dream

CON ARTIST - NICKI WILLIAMS - BEWARE

Okay so this post has taken me a while to post for several reasons but the main one being just how angry this woman has made me. For those of you that have been following my blog for a long while you will know that back around October of 2016, I was introduced to a woman called Nicki Williams, she was a friend of a friend that was supposed to be opening a centre for rehoming and rescuing animals, but also for horses working with soldiers that has PTSD. We hit it off straight away and came what I thought to be good friends. However warning bells should have probably rang sooner. By January or February of last year the horses that I had agreed to look after (that she had got on loan) Bella and Arthur, she was being threatened that she would have them taken off her by the control of horses act, because she hadn't been paying the rent for the field. Although Nicki reassured me that she had done, she even showed my 'payments' that had been made to Angie. I ended up getti...

Magic's 2nd day in his new home

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I thought it was the perfect time to restart the blog. So to start with I'll give you all an update on what's been going on over the years since I've posted and then I will be back to regularly posting and keeping you all updated on the world of magic. The first big change who I need to introduce is Jaxon, Jaxon is mine and Jack's 7 month old baby, he was born on the 7th July 2020. Part of this blog will be dedicated to overcoming the challenges of having a small child and owning a horse, even when everyone told me it was impossible to do. Jax has a best friend Bailey who is mums new 1 year old puppy and he has the best time trying to play with her. Of course Magic is one of Jaxon's best friends. Now for an update on Magic, he is doing really well, I can't remember if I ever told you, but he moved yards last year when I was pregnant with little man. Unfortunately this yard just didn't quite ...

Olympics - good bad or both?

In the Beijing Olympics in 2008 the horses used in the pentathlon were said to cause farcical scenes with fall after fall after fall. This was said to be the fault of the horses that were either hired or loaned to the competitors. It was not blamed to be rider error or a combination of both rider error and horse error, it was labelled as being the horses fault or this is what it said in ' Horse and Hound Magazine'. This horse was said to have been to spooky and sharp, but is it not a combination of rider's aids and rider error AS WELL as the horse being spooky. Can we really just blame it on the horse, when we are the ones that tell the horse what to do, by no means am i saying it was 'just the riders fault' couldn't it have been a combination of both?. For the London 2012 Olympics it was said that a total of two years if no longer was spent attempting to find the right horse for the right competitor. They made sure that the horse was at the right l...
