(found out! according to a comment on youtube:)

"It's Adventures of Buratino - original story written by A. N. Tolstoi who heard a story about Pinocchio in childhood, but didn't remember every detail and wrote his own story with only names and occupations of the characters saved."

Tatsumi Orimoto

I wish i was her friend.

I discovered Donna Wilson on my first year of a level and her makings literally made my life and influenced so much of my work, explicitly at first and now subtly inching its way in. I found her when i was doing a project entitled freedom and armed with a matchbox of buttons i could make anything. i decided upon these fabric creatures that were my favourite things for a while, until they were dubbed 'silly little creatures' by a teacher and i got a bit put off. They probably are a bit, but now i don't see that as such a bad thing.

I feel it's mainly the core idea of making and crafting that has developed in my practice for the past 5 or so years. With her work i found that whimsy and charm that imperfections have and embracing that rather than forcing my hand to do something that generic and perfect.

Unrelated but my friend Dulcie told me about the Dum Dum Girls and i've pretty much been listening to them on repeat.

Drawn a total blank

on how to write a conclusion right now. I'm all of a dither so that's not particularly helpful. Went to the printers who said they couldn't print on my paper (even though they most probably could) and that CS4 won't work for them so i have to go BACK later in the week to print all my shiz and i have loads of stuffs left to dooooooo. It's as if they know i have a deadline and just want to make it really hard for me.

On a brighter note, we made jelly with lemonade as the rowntree's advert said. It had better be good. Bombass and Parr are genii with jelly, making them into architectural delights and events like an architectural punchbowl and a scratch and sniff cinema. brilliant.

ohhh links links links. back to work i go...

i want this...

lovely tree bed by shawn lovell. now where to find $15,000...
