Flee market finds this week was interesting!, loved getting together all the bargains and different objects which interetsed individual people. i really enjoyed putting the composition together for this one, with rustic colours and a flat guache background.  Painted in a different way to which id ever done before to! i used a dotting texture, i found using this technique really gave these objects a 3d touch!

painted using watercolour, with lashes of pencil and guache to add depth and colour.

CV POSTING

 So here I'm meant to post my cv, I've tried my hardest to put one of these together. I'm finding it really hard to talk about the things I'm good at !. Ive never had to make a creative cv before so i found this a challenge in itself!

I started off by talking about myself and what I'm doing currently,  which i found flowed quite easily as its what I'm doing now. When i got onto talking about previous work experiences to.. i also found that easy enough to write saying what i was doing and when.

Ive always been told to show off your best assets to the world. but writing these down on paper was hard, i didn't want to make myself look big headed or anything, but needed to release a section on my skills and qualities, not just creatively but logical people skills to.

Overall i was happy with the progress i made on this cv and will be happy to show it to anyone who would like to have a look :) for any feedback or comments :)

CV'S LETTERS AND EMAIL'S

Forgot to post this little task we did one week at uni, we spoke in groups about what language you would and would'nt put in professional letters and emails, formal and unformal, it was great working in a team and getting everyone else's opinion. we also looked at how you would lay out the information.  heres the verdict. -   Also we took time to put together a sheet of information to help with a creative cv, what needs to be and what doesn't. it was really good and reflective for the class to do this as we all had different ideas and different answers for what we should and shouldn't have, having a tutors point of view really helped us see the professional side between the two different contacts.

PRINTINGGGG

Starting to print dye and work back into colour samples today which was exciting ! Nice to see a bit of colour down on that fabric. I love experimenting, and my washing line !
