BOX IT



Hope you like it! I had a bad camera day so I really couldn't be bothered to keep trying, so these almost identical shots will have to do. I used M.A.C's face and body foundation and I don't love it photography wise on myself, but to be fair my skin is quite neglected atm... stress= breakouts :(

While I've still got the book I might do a couple more Alex Box inspired make-up..unless you guys are wanting some more tame things from me!
Apparently I've been at college for almost 6 weeks now? Which is crazy.... seems like I've just started! The work load is CRAZY!!! BIG-BIG-BIG jump from A-level. We've almost completed an additional drawing qualification (too lazy to go find out the actual name.. so lets just call it drawing qualification!). Which included 2 weeks of INTENSE drawing sessions which while I 'hated' (cause I'm rubbish) I did learn a heck of a lot. I really recommend anyone interested in art to do a foundation course before a degree. A-level art is nothing ( you don't get taught any skills)!!
Anyway speaking of college I really cannot decide on what to specialise in (I have 3 weeks? to decide). I am so torn on textiles ('art' by manipulating fabrics)/fashion (design of garments etc) vs graphics/illustration!!!!
I know in the past I've sworn to 'end' the fashion L.F within me but after the presentation talks (each leader talked about their specialist area) I couldn't help but mourn for textiles/fashion. I am not 'hardcore-fashion-know-it-all' but it is my passion- I always seek out/drawn to fashion designers. And I can spit out more designers then artists in other fields. BUT my mum really doesn't want me to do it. And has alliterated this since I finished a-levels with "anything but textiles". I am just infatuated with the designs, the whole 'vibe' and the fashion world... its just the making that kills it.

I LOVE BOTH!!!!
