So there have been a few comments about the stuff behind me in recent outfit photos, so today after spending a little time adding more to my board I thought I'd explain what's there.
Photo 2:
Top left, ink blot I did & have been getting pretty obsessed with, done a few where different colours interact & create new ones. I bought a dropper from boots, well cool. Top right, jewellery by Risa Tai. Epicness. Bottom left, when I was as secondary school we did this "females in physics" day out to Bristol University to talk to loads of girls who were doing physics. One of the talks culminated in a guy putting a CD in a microwave so I asked if I could have it. It's been on & off of my bedroom walls since... Bottom middle, Levi advert with amazing eye make up that I keep meaning to try. Bottom right, a list of quotes from rejection e-mail/letters I've got recently that I'm thinking of turning into embroideries.
Photo 3:
Embroidery I did a while back using french knot stitch because it looks like stitches gone wrong & I really like that. The words are lyrics from one of my favorite Scroobius Pip VS Dan Le Sac songs Waiting For the Beat to Kick In. It's also a quote from the film Say Anything... but the song itself is full of movie references. & wherever it originates from I wish I was a level headed enough individual to think this before lashing out. Especially (lately) at stupid students ruining my good job & lovely Bristol. Oh & my blue peter badge! I got it for sending them a cookie recipe, which I think is pretty sweet.
Photo 4:
Bottom left, cards from the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin that I went to this summer. Such an amazing building as well as the exhibitions. The temporary one when I was there was on a shoe factory and photos taken for a guide on how to choose the right shoes. It sounds boring but was proof at just how much good design can improve any subject matter. Top left, playing card behind ampersand... I love ampersands. I'm actually getting one as my next tattoo, yay! Top left middle, squares of face from a textile project I did a couple of years ago, my friend found it creepy that I had like 20 photocopies of her face so she pinned them up. Waaaay less creepy. Bottom middle, photo of my brother, sister & cousin dressed up for what I thought was halloween but is actually just my brother dressed up as a wizard on a normal day. Bottom right, birthday card & postcard by Mark Titchner my mum brought back from the Tate one time. I love his work & was pissed to miss all the metal exhibitions they had in the black country a couple of months back. Top middle right, cutting from the recent Monki magazine. Top right, packaging from some tape I got in the Habitat closing down sale. It was so depressing, RIP Habitat's awesome tape (& other things).
Was that at all interesting? Probably not. I just find it interesting snooping & seeing what other people decide to keep or display so... yeah. Oh & for the other things behind me in the photos. The High Street sign I stole from Portsmouth & had to crouch in the middle of the road to get & then prize from a piece of disintegrating wood. & the screen print is of the famous Bristol cranes & I got at an art gallery in Bedminster.
Pretty sweet.
I love everything on the board! thank you the comment, and i totally agree about the laura marling album cover looking like pete dohertys! x
ReplyDeletei had actually been wondering where you got that street sign from cos that's a whole hunk of thing to be walking around with. the playing card behind the ampersand is a genius idea, looks tres cool (not said that in years).
ReplyDeleteand true, i have wondered about some of the stuff behind, you, like the 2 mirrors in your last post. making some kinda mirror room are we? thanks for the feedback on my invite, that is really nice to hear.
jealous of the Bauhaus Archiv
i enjoy that your bro just enjoyed the wizarding look on a daily basis. an excellent excuse to swoop about town in a cloak, and perhaps store snacks for later inside your pointed hat. xxx
ReplyDeleteVery cute little post! Glad I found this blog!xx

Aw I love seeing walls and pinboards, I tried for ages when I was little to get a BluePeter badge, welldone! <3
ReplyDeleteHaha I loved reading through this! I have bags and bags of all sorts of random stuff like this which I stick up on my wall on a kind of rotation... R.I.P. Habitat :( Every time I walk past the empty shop where I live I feel like crying.
