My Place & Yours…

So I’m now a Uni girl, which means I’m spending countless hours in front of the computer (read: ALL Day at work, plus ALL night at home minus the time it takes to cook/eat dinner). Oh course, it is tempting, when the eyes are getting bleary, to click that magic little Photo Booth button at the bottom of the page and play for a while. This inevitably means I need to touch up the photos a bit in iPhoto, and then join a few together in photoshop…. Bad, I know. :-S

This is part of My Place & Yours over at Hello Owl…

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Today I drew the sound of a glove

Today I drew the sound of a glove. Strange, no?

It’s on my (many) Uni assignements. Yep, I’m right into my first week of Uni (well, finished first week actually), and I’m REALLY enjoying it! I’ve ressurected an old blog from the last time I was at Uni, and in there I’ll be putting all my lecture notes (a lot of the words and notes are straight from the lecture- not necessarily my own), and tasks I have to do which look kinda like this:

Random, right? This is the sound of a hole punch… I also drew the sound of a glove, an elephant purse, and a lindt chocolate wrapper.

Anyway, for more of these crazy (and not so crazy things you can check me out over at Teaching Talia.

Also, I am SO excited because last night I made THIS:

People who follow me on twitter are probably SO sick of hearing about this button. Lol. I’ve been tweeting about it heaps!

Basically I had to draw the little Uluru and trees etc. and then embroider it and then put it into the button press and make it into a button. It’s about 1.5cm wide.

One point FIVE centimeters. Do you know how tiny that is to embroider?!?!

Re-do, do you? I do!

You may remember back in November I wrote about how perhaps if I relived my life from the end of year 12 onwards I may have done things a little differently. Namely what I chose to do at Uni. Well, in the last month and a half (or there abouts) things have happened, and I got a bit of a chance to do just that. No, I’m not going back in time, but I AM going back to Uni!

Yep, you heard right! Uni!

I have been feeling so cofuzzled not doing any study this year, and when I found out about the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts online Masters degree, I nearly died. Could this be COMBINING two things that I love so perfectly? Plus a fantastic opportunity to study whilst furthering my academic qualifications and keeping my full time job?!

I’m doing a graduate Certificate in Cross-Disciplinary Art & Design, which goes for 6 months. I considered doing it part time, or doing my Graduate Diploma, but what with our holiday planned for October/November, it wasn’t really going to work. I’m planning on getting higher then a Credit average so that i can continue studying up to my Masters next year.

These are the subjects I’m doing…

Cross-Disciplinary Art and Design

Creative Thinking Processes

Digital Illustration for Concept Art

Draw Your World

Hopefully my bloggin life will not go down the toilet hole! At the very least I will show you what I am learning about- photos and what not. I will also need your support, so if you feel like leaving me a comment some time, then I totally wouldn’t mind.
