Glass Workshop!

Last Monday, we had a glass workshop at uni. Every Monday we do a different workshop so we can try everything out and see what we like. At the glass workshop we did some sand blasting (not pictured) and made some mosaic glass... erm, things. The theme was to create a "self portrait" of yourself. Some people did some really amazing stuff. This is the one I did.



I know, Rose's is only black white and red! Not much of a surprise there, huh? Everyone else was picking out pretty pinks, blues, greens and all those other colours that everyone loves. For some reason I really can't stand them! (The colours, not the people. Actually some of the people are pretty annoying too) Everyone kept asking me how mine was a self portrait, personally I don't think it's that hard to see.

My friend Andy did one with his black hair in one corner, his eye in the middle, and then part of his nose in the opposite corner to his hair. I thought it looked really good. Plus I really like his blue eyes. They're so pretty! People think it's weird when I tell them their eyes are pretty, but I think some people are getting used to it now.

Jess, did two both half the side of mine. Hers were really nice too. One she did was kind of just a stick figure of herself, but with a big belly. Then inside the round belly there was another smaller stick person. I thought that one was perfect!

For Visual Inquiry we have to carry around large charcoal drawings on A1 paper! I keep having to explain to people what size A1 is because apparently no one knows! For those of you who are slow, the normal size paper you usually use is called A4. Then there's A3 which is like having two A4 bits of paper side-by-side. Then you have A2 which is like having four A4 pieces, or otherwise two A3 pieces side by side. Then you have A1. To put it simply, A1 is like having eight A4 pieces all stuck together. So now I have a huge folder to put this paper in which I have to carry to and from uni, during peak hour on the bus. This is my new folder. My lense was dirty when I took the picture, I'm pretty sure someone's been playing with my camera because all my settings have been changed too. I'm pretty sure I've never purposefully put my camera into wide screen mode! Own up to using my camera while I was at uni! come on!


In other news, my hair is currently straight. When I came home from uni, Tayla was playing with Molly's hair, so she wanted to play with mine next. When Tayla does my hair, Molly watches and they stand there telling me how much they love my hair. You would think that would make them love me, but apparently if you love something about a person, you immediately have to hate them. It's like a rule or something. I sure as hell don't get it. I'm pretty sure that Molly and Tayla both obsess about my hair more then I do.

Now that I go out and associate with people more, I'm learning so much about the way people interact with each other and what they find acceptable. I now know why girls go to the toilets in packs. And I know that if a girl invites me to go to the toilet with her, I should always say no.

I've decided to write a book about human behavior. Actually I started it years ago, but now I actually have more stuff to put in it.
