[Early] Week 3.


So, I Won't be in Reading or Oxford this week , i'll be in Wolverhampton until Saturday.
This is something i've needed for a while with all the crap running around in my head. Hopefully this getting away for a bit will put me in a better mood and help me get back into the swing of things.
Only 2 weeks or so until my second term of Uni and some serious catching up to do.

So anyway, here's my Week 3 entry early. No idea what i'll be doing all week so i'm posting early, just in case.
These are just a couple of err.... ideas, i guess :).



This is Ferny the Fern. I've never been much for pot plants and such.. generally because they die in my care. But after hearing Lynda [my aunt] explain about this fern, i had to have her :).
Ferns are really delicate, they're incredibly fussy with the conditions under which they are kept, they don't like to be touched [otherwise the leaves die off and go brown] but they don't really need looking after. She will survive on her own. Sounds familiar.
She's a piece of Art in her own right.




This is the Eye of Horus/ Eye of Ra. It's often used as a sign of protection and safety and to ward of evil.  For me, it means always being true to yourself, never letting your own evils get the best of you. Its also there to mean protection for the people closest to me.
At the moment, it is only a Henna Design on my wrist but i'm thinking i might get it tattooed.

[Belated] Week 2.



This week has been a thoughtful week. Filled with not-so-nice thoughts.
I tried to capture some of these thoughts and 'store' them somewhere away from my mind so that I didn't need to think about them anymore. I don't know whether that theory worked but here's the visual outcome anyway.





An unlit candle - If fire resembles passion, the unlit candle resembles where it once was. Loss of passion has affected me on and off, like it does anyone to be honest. But its something that got the better of me over the past few months more than it needed to. I will try harder to keep my candle lit.



Broken Glass - Shattered, in pieces. Unaffectionate. Affection is something i'm not too good at recieving. Maybe it's linked to my childhood or whatever, who knows. However it came about, it makes me feel like i'm missing something; that something needs to be pieced together.



Drugs - Something that seems to come up a lot at the moment. I've been told the plus side of drugs so many times recently that i forgot my own reasons for not doing them. I lost my own opinion in everyone else's. This is to remind me to follow life by my own rules, not everyone else's.

Week 1.

Well, being that its snowed and all i've done is go out in it... i figured a fitting choice for my first week would be some photography. Simple.
