A quiet Saturday

I am really annoyed about the postal strike - no post for me today, and, therefore, no postcards for my mailart project! My first aim is to recieve 100 postcards. Once I've recieved 100 I will feel like I've gotton somewhere. Once I get to that number I will also try to organise an exhibition, and i will set up a website. (exciting times!) The details for my mail art project are listed here: http://mailartprojects.blogspot.com/

Today I have mostly been doing an art project which is based around the subject on Phaedophilia - not a very nice subject, but it has been interesting trying to come up with a piece. I am doing a collage of a childs head made up of adult pornagraphic images. I've been having to buy zoo and nuts magazine, which I can't say I've relished! I've got to get the piece finished by monday - which means i'm going to be working hard tonight and tomorrow!

Florence, Ducklings, Mail art

Today my morris minor, Florence is being sold! I'm really sad about this as i've had her a couple of years and she's always been reliable. Nothing beats driving a classic car. I can't keep her though, as she wouldn't surive doing the hour and a half round trip I have to take to college everyday. Sob sob sob!

However - Yesterday I bought three baby ducklings, which is really exciting! I haven't given them names yet - I don't even know which sex they are!

Another good thing is that yesterday I recieved 2 more postcards for my mail art project! One was by a little girl who's phobia was spiders, another was a college on buttons - which apparently quite a common phobia!

My first blog in a very long time. The last blog I had written on here was from 2 years ago, and was so angsty that i had to delete it! I'm on half term from my college, and i'm currently obsessed with the mail art project i'm organising on Phobias. I recieved a great card today from Chimera Stone, which made my day! I'm aiming for 100, my fingers are crossed!
