Around the world.

Yesterday I went on a creative splurge to make a card for my brother returning from overseas :) I really like the colours in this photo he took of the trusty bike that got him around the different countries. I discovered some awesome tissue paper under my bed which had a world map printed onto it and decided to get arty!! It didn't quite turn out how I hoped, you're supposed to see the beginning and end destinations in the background, but perhaps there's not quite enough room to identify locations....

Also, it turned out that if I had just stuck the picture over the world map, one of the destinations would not be able to fit! So with some sneaky folding behind the picture I may have warped the map a little so as to fit onto the card!! But it is fairly to-scale ;)

It's nice to have little creative jobs to do every now and then in this time of complete boredom of essays, study notes and you-should-not-be-doing-anything-but-schoolwork-ness.

Europe

Wow!!! I have just spent a wonderful holidays touring Italy, France and England with my school.

My trip to the Palace of Versaille in France was perhaps ruined a little by an exhibition by the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami who decided to put his models in an out-of-place environment - an interesting idea that would normally interest me, but when you're trying to get photos of fabulous ancient rooms, it's just downright annoying.

An interesting story to tell however, and worth putting on this blog about creativity, especially since Japanese art is an area of interest for me.

I saw some pretty spectacular colours. Here's some artwork I saw in the Vatican in Italy that amazed me with its vibrancy:


Well it looked cool in real life, haha.

Randomness and Europe

I need to write on my blog more often, and since my creative flair seems to have many recessions, I think I'm gonna write about more general stuff than previously.
