fd's Flickr toys

I am pretty obsessed with flickr. I have an account there and I love browsing through peoples photos. It's very relaxing and I find a lot of really pretty things. Anyway in my browsing endeavours I noticed people were making a lot of mosaics with photos either of theirs or others. I found the website fd's Flicker Toys and it is so much fun. I mucked around with it and made two things in between writing a uni assignment. So here they are ->

This is the Andy Warhol style mosaic of one of my photos. It's pretty awesome. And this one is just a small mosaic of things I was taking photos of. Some pretty things I think. And I made that mask by the way =)

And I have musical rehearsal tonight. It should be a full run through which will be exciting. I will try and take some photos of it. Plus I can't wait until I have finished my debate and handed my assignment in. It will be great!

Random

It's early and I am trying to finish off a debate due this week. Thought I would put a few pics and things up. A few random things.
This one is just something I made for Jasons bday. It's just a quick job so not that great. I like this one better I think. I put a bit more thought into it.

This week is going to be soo busy. But if I just take it slowly and do everything it will be fine. The musical is on this weekend. I'm really quite excited about it. I want to take some pics this week of rehearsal. I never got the chance before but I will definately do it this time.

Life

The Easter Musical is next weekend!! I can't believe how quick it has come. Next week is going to be hardcore. I have rehearsal pretty much monday to thursday night and the musical is friday to sunday night. I also have an assignment due and a debate in class. It will be busy but so worth it.

Here are a few pics from the last few days. This was taken on Jasons birthday a few days ago. This was before we went to the beach. At the beach. We haven't been able to go in ages! Love this photo. It turned out really well.
There are a few others that I want to share but I will do it another time I think. xox

Busy

For the next two weeks I'm really quite busy, but I thought I should just update a bit. It's so close to the musical. We only have next week and then the week of the musical to practise and rehearse. I'm freaking out a bit cause we have had to change things constantly as we have started rehearsing with the actors. We are all so tired, stressed and emotional but we know we are doing this for a purpose. It's the Easter musical. We are doing this to show people Jesus great love he has for us. And if this can affect people its worth it.
Anyway, I thought I would add a few things.
This movie here 300 Jason really want to see. I'm pretty interested now as well =). I wanted to put the trailer here but for some reason it won't let me sigh. I'm getting Jason the graphic novel of 300 as part of his birthday and he already knows this so its not a surprise. The main actor in this is Gerard Butler. I know him from Phantom of the Opera. He plays the Phantom. Also David Wenham is in it as well. He's Aussie and plays Faramir in Lord of the Rings. I have a soft spot for him lol. So it comes out in a few weeks.
This photo was taken at my birthday. My friend Laura takes photos for fun but she has this awesome camera. And this is one of her favourite photos from that night. I'm wearing fairy just for the photos =p. Anyway, I should get back to the Spanish study for my exam on Monday. xox

More Photoshopping

I have been playing around with photo shop again. So I'm just going to post the pictures in order of me making them.This one was me just mucking around trying to get a feel for it. It's not that good but I think the little girl is cute and I love th background paper. Oh and it says " Dance like no one is watching."

This is me and some of my closest girl friends. Taken on my 22nd birthday in the yard. I had a Butterfly Garden Tea party. This one took me ages as I forgot about making layers for each item. Eeep! But I love th final product.

This one I do like in a grungy way. I was trying to add a mini butterfly on the bottom but I couldn't for some reason and just got frustrated.

So anyway that is some of my latest creations.

A few things

I'm down to three subjects for uni now. I dropped one of them as I didn't think it was really my thing. But thats ok spanish is keeping me preoccupied anyway.
Here is something I was mucking around with on photo shop. It's definately not fantastic but I am just playing around with it. I want to use other pictures and things. Eventually I will get better with practise and with help from Jason. It's weird I want to do more creative things when I have uni work to do. I want to write more and create more. Oh well this is one of my outlets. And this picture shows some things I like. Beautiful ornate frames, ballet and the piano. Lovely.
Anyway I was going to put a youtube thing here but for some reason it's not working so maybe next time.

Survival of the first week

I've finished the first week of uni and it seems like it will be quite busy. Especially with the musical rehearsals. I have them twice a week now. I also dropped out of a class and have enrolled in a new one. So I hope this one works out better for me.

This week I also had my first sewing lesson. Since the purchase of the new sewing machine I haven't had any yet but I had one this week. It was pretty good. I hope I can really use it now. I have one more lesson in a few weeks time. If I happen to make anything I will post a picture.
Here are a few things I've been making. One of them is just another one of those frames.
This is it. I love butterflies, polka dots and pink. So I thought this would be appropriate. I cut out the butterflies, but I hope I can make more.
I took this today. I thought it was cute. It's my dad and my little nephew Caeleb lying on the floor in the lounge room. Caeleb just copied my dad. He was watching the Wiggles. I took this photo from the stair by the way.

Anyway, thats it from me
