REALISATION: Blog entry 45

________________________________________________________________

I can't believe it's finished! I picked up my fabric this morning, and it only took me a couple of hours to make my basket liner. Then, while I was doing it, I had the idea to photograph it outside, in front of some greenery. I was going to photograph it on a white background. But that's so boring, and everyone does it, and if you haven't got the right lighting (which I don't have access to right now) it can be a nightmare and look bloody awful any way. So I thought, it's meant to be something for the garden, so photograph it in the garden. Luckily, it's a nice day, so the natural daylight has done a pretty good job...and it's done! I didn't think I'd get this done until Friday, at the earliest; now it means I've got more time to fettle things like my show panel and all of the project documents. Nearly there!

CONCEPT : Blog entry 10

These are some of the photos, of the parrots, that I have been taking recently. I wont add all of them here (theres around 40 I think) but you can find them on my Flickr here, and I'll also print them and add them to my sketchbook. There will be more of these to come through out the summer.

Theres also a couple of photos from an older album taken at tropical bird land too, here.

These are just some of the images that I am working from,, as well as having some of my live models knocking around the house.
