Dissertation update

5,500 words and more up to now; I'm starting to feel much happier about this- shall I start to brag and say I've got it covered?.....not just yet I think.

Dissertation update

I've got 4000 words plus more under my belt today, just less than 2000 left; I'm more than half way there- I can see that light at the end of the tunnel- I'm gonna make it whoo!

Project Deadline

Well everything is up in the studio, I had a little trouble finding room for it all but I'm pleased with how it looks; check it out my first presented work as a final year :)

Last things- done

Okay so I got everything printed and bound yesterday and today and tonight I started putting up my boards in the studio; well it's one less thing to worry about tomorrow.

Deadline approaches- last weekend

All boards are mounted up; only had trouble with a few things falling off- calls for stronger glue. Just gotta finish off annotation in tech file then Market research to print and bind during Monday and Tuesday.

Last full week before Deadline!

I've got the laser cutter tomorrow afternoon so made sure all the files were ready today, I borrowed a macro lens camera from uni which is really good; so far I've got some really interesting photos of my printed surfaces really close up.
I need to get all my boards printed this week and as we have no classes on Thursday I'm hopefully going to be in Print giving me more time to get everything done I want.

Stitch & HobbyCraft show NEC

Went to the NEC in Birmingham for the annual Stitch & Craft show. Great for Christmas prezzies and stocking up on the regulars but also as this show includes Arts Materials Live I was able to get loads of paint mediums I hope to use later in my Final project for surface texture and more.

Open Day Student Helper

I've been helping out with Open Days; showing students around and answering questions. I fit this in between classes on Wednesday & Thursday. It's been interesting finding out about the new course that Surface, Textiles & Craft will become. Check out the 'cool' t-shirt I had to wear :P
 

Am I? :)

Print

I exposed another screen in print today and was able to do loads of samples testing my range of hard surfaces.

I'd say a good days work :)
