I am making collage and drawings with two new colour schemes. These colours are different from the ones which I am usually using, and I am very happy with it. At first these colours were not comfortable for me, but now I quite like them. Something new always excites me!

green and orange

I stayed in the studio for quite long time today, but nothing new happened to me. This is because everything I have done today was what I had done before. 

However, for some reason, it was good day today.

I found this on my way home

Today was the first uni day after reading week. 

We got feedback of the last project, and had been briefed about a new project.

Actually, the new project is very similar to the last one. We still need to work with geometric shapes, so it should be a chance to spend substantial time on developing one subject besides it's a bit boring. I hope I can make something better!

In the meantime, I am so excited as the next workshop I'm going to be in is embroidery, which I have been wishing to lean for ages!!

Ah, heaven…but to be honest I am trying to not to be excited to it too much, because if I find embroidery doesn't suit me, it directly means that I disappoint myself. I wish it will never ever happen! I just want to enjoy my life with textiles :)

Until the coming Christmas holiday, school life seems to be very busy. 7 weeks to go! ho ho ho!  

And, today there's an annual fireworks event at the glasgow green. It was unfamiliar to me to watch fireworks in winter, because usually there are many fireworks festivals in sumer in Japan and I got used to it, but actually the fireworks that I watched tonight was very beautiful! It didn't rain tonight, thank goodness :)

can you paint with all the colour of the wind

I have been to Ireland for 6 days, from October 28th to November 2nd. I did not imagine that I would be in Ireland in this halloween, though I was wishing to be there one day.
The main event of the trip was the Knitting and Stitching Show held at Dublin, but now I can say that I really enjoyed throughout the trip.
I remembered that in the last year my tutor said that 'inspiration is in everywhere' before going on a study trip to London. Actually, when you are in a new place, you will find it impossible to be not inspired by anything. At least I can't!
Inspiration will never have best-before dates...store it up for yourself.
