My knitting Journey.

I am back! Well, I am back knitting. I learnt how to knit when I was about 13. I think. My Grandma taught me how to knit by giving me two giant skeins of yarn. A creamy colour and then a blue which I am not too sure how to describe. And a pair of chunky needles, probably about 8 or 10mm. All she taught me was how to knit. Literally, just knit stitch. This meant I couldn't start or finish my own pieces without help. Naturally this frustrated me, so my mum, who is also a knitter but only knows when she picks up her needles and plays about for awhile... taught me how to cast on, bind off and how to purl.

Purl, to me, at that point was hideous. It didn't make sense, so I forgot I knew it and just carried on with knit and the ability to cast on and off. My mum also helped me learn how to change colour, but only in the case of stripes, because like, probably about 80%+ of all knitters, the first 'major' project is a scarf.

I wanted to make multiple. I had all these ideas! I wanted a red and black striped scarf and then a grey and black striped scarf. I'll just add this here, I never finished either, slight lie, I went back to the grey and black yarn and did make a scarf but not how I'd envisioned, more later. And then! I decided I NEEDED a Doctor Who scarf! I think this is probably another project attempted by the geeky knitter. So I told my nan to get me lots of little balls of lots of different colours. And then I began my scarf. I stopped half why through knitting it and left it for probably about three years to which I then just binded off. It is very unlike Tom Baker's scarf. But it was close enough... At the time.

I wanted to insert a photo of me, a particularly bad photo at that too! But I can't seem to find it. Probably for the best! If I am remembering the photo correctly, I also have this jumper which has two different names from different friends. One is 'sick jumper' and the other is 'Grandad jumper'. It was from a charity shop...

I also had ideas for more complex projects. I wanted to knit a pink bunny bag, which I may do one day... And some other things. But I pretty much put my needles down until I was about 15. I only picked them up briefly. I made a miniature hat that resembled Pucca because I was... I don't fully remember, but I was talking about different dolls and Blythe dolls have cute little accessories! In hindsight I should have taken that much further. 

PUCCA! PuccaClub

After that, I left my knitting needles alone. I occasionally would pick them back up and then just put them back down. And that was a pattern until the end of my first year at uni, the start of my second year of uni. This is when I say I got into knitting properly. This is when I actually started knitting stuff and finished them. I'll do another post of them soon as I don't have access to them right now. But take a look at my ravelry for some photos (here).

But to finish this post! I took close to another year hiatus from knitting because a lot of stuff happened, some were pretty bad, some where okay, but everything was pretty tainted by the bad. I am happy to be knitting again! And improving. I am currently writing two of my own patterns! One I intent to sell the item itself, the other, I'd probably be happy to sell the pattern, assuming it turns out well.

The last thing I want to add is. this is my knitting journey, notice how there are years of gaps but it does not change the fact that I am a knitter and I love it. I have so much yarn it is crazy, but knitting is a release of negative energy, it relaxes you and helps you forget about the bad things. It can be hard to get into, but once you are there, it is great and very much worth it.

Oslo!

So I am about to head to Oslo for two days... I will post some stuff when I am back and talk a little bit about travelling alone.. I am trying to do videos that document my thoughts on it and stuff... We shall see how that goes. And then I am heading to the UK for a few days. Hopefully this time travelling will allow me to get some work done. Haha. We'll see.

I'll try and post something about my Insomnia piece on Friday but it will honestly depend on time.

Speak soon.

A little bit of latex

So I have felt pretty ill over the past few days. *sob*. However, I might use this evening to try and get some work done on python (it is a computer coding language) and work out the knitting pattern for the jumper I want to make so I can try and start that soon as I have realised I have enough yarn to fill a suitcase. Oops!

I am a big lover of fashion and clothing. Which I will start to post more of, like outfits and stuff on here once I feel better and my room is tidy. (Mid-way through packing for a weekend at home next weekend). But one particular area of fashion that appeals is Latex clothing!

Latex is a rubber that was traditionally used for wellington boots, however nowadays it is commonly found in fetish fashion. 

Here are some pretty pieces:

Naucler Design's Alice Mini Dress (here)

Artifice Clothing's Accent Straitjacket (here)

OohLaLatex's Basque (here)

BlackSheepLatex's Striped High Waist Hotpants & Halterneck Bra, (bottoms) & (top)

If you know much about latex, you will notice that the premade stuff isn't exactly cheap. A relatively basic pair of hotpants will generally cost you about £20-£50 depending on the company. These are prices that, right now, I cannot justify paying. So over the past few days I have been thinking about making my own latex pieces.

I have done a bit of research by watching and reading some of the tutorials out there. And honestly, there are really not that many out there. At least to my current knowledge. I imagine the further you delve into the fetish community the easier it will be to find out how to make latex garments. But since latex is meant to be skin tight you own measurements are your friend! And one of the only things you need assuming you have a basic idea of the shape of what you are making.... Though I might find it a lot more difficult once I manage to get started.

So! How do you get started?!

I will post the links that I use to get all my supplies once that happens, which will probably be June time. But I think the best thing to do is kinda get a look at latex by ordering a swatch set. And here are two companies that I have found that do them. They both stock latex too and I think glues and such. But I will come back to that at a later date.

Radical Rubber
This swatch contains their most popular colours only, from what I can tell and is £10 for people of the EU, £15 for the rest of the world. And this apparently included postage.
One thing I will say not about these guys. If you want to order latex from them it is cheapest to order 5m of each type you are buying, otherwise you get a 50% surcharge. Yes, you heard me correctly 50%.

Supatex
They have two types of swatches available. Colours & thickness. The colour set costs £8 for us British folk, and it gets more expensive the further from the UK you are. And I believe the thickness set is free.
Supatex... Just so you know, they have a minimum order value of £100, excluding postage. Moreover, you can only purchase increments of 5m. Probably best if you intend to make a lot of stuff.

This is all I can really say right now about latex! Well without rambling about how pretty it is. So I will share knowledge as I learn it. Here's to hoping the first package won't cost too much just to get started.

Can't Stop Knitting

I don't know how many of you are similar to me when it comes to creating. I will get urges to create late at night, or so early in the morning when I am forced to do something else after little sleep. I think it must have something to do with my sleep cycle :p

So anyway! I have a spent a large proportion of my evening knitting because python decided to get error messages *boo* and I felt a little sleepy all evening. And I am currently working on my first proper design from scratch, it is for the fashion line I am creating. Watch this space.

But my knitting was pretty casual. Nothing too strenuous, literally k1p1 in the round. No biggie. So I was watching various tv shows online before I remembered. It is my birthday next month and I want a sewing machine. So I started looking at different sewing machines and thought I would see if I could find the one from The Great British Sewing Bee... I may have found it. I am not sure. But I will have a look again tomorrow. And then I remember one of the girls who i follow on youtube has a video about her sewing machine, thus, following this train of thought, I ended up on youtube. However before I made it to her channel I was distracted by a video.

This video was by the lovely Tiny Owl Knits. She is my knitting inspiration and for that I kinda love her. I have been knitting and been passionate about it before I knew about her, but there is something about her spirit that is just captivating... I don't know. But everything I end up watching her videos, I just want to watch them all, knit all her things and create. She also reminds me how more in tune with nature I would like to become. That will be a habit I will try and get into over the next week so I can try to embrace it a lot more fully in May.

Some of you may how who she is just by her most famous pattern, The Beekeeper's Quilt? This is something I have been meaning to make, but I only want to knit it with really nice yarn, i.e. no 100% acrylic blends. The dream to become a knitting snob and only mostly use fancy yarns... But when I found this video I was just mesmerised by her and her joy towards knitting. Her excitement is what you want to see from someone who is creating! I remember my ex came over while I was watching her videos, he didn't quite get her, but he knew it was clear that something about her was inspiring me.. I cannot remember the term he used, but knitting inspiration, knitting guru... You get the jist?

Nevertheless, The Beekeeper's Quilt is beautiful and I very much intend to start it once I am back in the UK as travelling with all those hexipuffs would probably be a little bit of a nightmare, but it will be good to have a background project constantly on the go for awhile!

I am not sure I even.. OH YES! Basically my point of writing this! I feel like I am in the zone. I am over half way of the first section of my knitting and want to see how far I can get if I keep going this evening. Though, it is pretty late... And I should go to class tomorrow!

I will do some more posts about knitting soon! But all my finish projects reside in the UK right now, to which I am not! I will probably talk some more about Tiny Owl Knits...





p.s. If you ever read this, you being creator of Tiny Owl, I guess this is like the Helena Bonham Carter moment, awkward fangirling but coming from the best place! Haha >_<

Stockholm. Nobel Inspired Fashion

In February I was in Stockholm. It was the first time I had managed to venture up North since getting to Sweden. Unfortunately the weekend started with delays, the train had to stop twice, two hours each time, making a six hour journey a ten hour one. It should have been a little expected I guess, Swedish winter generally means snow. However, excluding that it was a fun weekend. I did not take that many photographs, unfortunately because I forgot my camera so had to use my phone and we were staying in a youth hostel.

Breakfast Steampunk-Esque Moose. This guy lived in a hostel a little down the road from where we were and it had cheap food. A whole of cereal with seeds, a drink and sandwich for 50sek.

The majority of the weekend was spend it cafes, clubs and lots of museums. The city isn't too big, and the tube was easy to maneuver so the only photos I have are from getting from point a to b.

Snowy Stockholm

I would like to believe that the main reason so much time was spent in art galleries and museums was due to the fact it was cold outside, there are a lot of museums and a lot of Europe seems to have this system in place where their weekends are pretty empty! We ended up going to:

• The Nobel Museum
• Sparvagsmuseet (Stockholm Transport Museum)
• Leksaksmuseet (Toy Museum)
• Fotografiska (Photography Gallery)
• Tekniskamuseet (Technology Museum)

Tekniskamuseet was pretty awesome! It took awhile to get to as it is in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a bunch of other museums. But it was definitely worth it. They had an exhibit called 'Game On' which just had tons of arcade games, consoles and hand-helds for everyone to play on. They even had Japanese imports! Unfortunately, we only got to look at this exhibit due to time, and it felt a little rushed. Two hours of gaming.. Well, not enough time apparently ;)

But anyway! The purpose of writing this! THE NOBEL MUSEUM! It had all the genetic information about how the noble prize got started, who won it each year for each of the categories. Then, we found another room. And in this room! *drum roll*. A piece of clothing that represented each of the categories with accompanying music! (More info)

Economics

Literature

I think that for most of them you can really get a sense of what they are trying to portray, maybe no more than the area they represent, without much knowledge of the subject. The peace one was made up of the countries of the world, that is what each of those black shapes on the front represent. The medicine one is somewhat reminiscent of the Earth or Mould to me, life growing.

The piece for literature is my favourite. However I might be being swayed by my love for knitting and then in turn yarn. This could be interpreted in many ways. One way in which I can it is the idea that the yarn represents the story line and the dress illustrates the structure of the story as it grows and later climaxes. But that is a rather basic representation. But it would be interesting to hear what other people think about these pieces.

This is one of the most delicious hot chocolates I have ever had! The place is too dark to get a good photo. It is the small cafe near the Nobel Museet! ChokladKoppen

Insomnia // Part One

I found during exams that I was not sleeping properly. And that when I was forced to get up early for my mathematics exams doing maths was not what I wanted to do. But instead I wanted to create. I ended up doing some drawings in my exams... Honestly, this year has been my work year academically. I severely need a break from maths, or at the very least some time to just create. And get into the habit of doing art and maths. Because art keeps me sane.

So I started work on this piece, whose working title is Insomnia as it was created by my lack of sleep. It started off with an initial eye. Eyes are my favourite thing to draw and I often have this illusion kind of thing going on instead of a normal eye. I am not sure where this comes from but it is something I have been doing for a good number of years. From this I also decided I need mouths. Multiple mouths! The real, human mouth just neutral in expression and the other two a little more manic in their appearance. Laughter!

This is the first, original sketch. Here I was very uncertain to what I wanted 'underneath'. I thought about perhaps having something more real, though this drawing does not show that at all! Maybe when I am a little bit further into my realism sketches I will do something that represents this other way of thinking. 

The eyes are a lot more like how I intend to include them in the 3D piece. Though at this point all I knew was that I wanted some escaping from the head. What exactly? I don't know. Rainbows?!

Straight after one of my exams I rushed to the art shop to buy supplies! So I could get started straight away. White acrylic paint, newspaper, glue, a mask and paint brushes. Stuff that I have in the UK, but had convinced myself not to buy here in Sweden due to cost. So I got working on it. I layered and layered newspaper onto the canvas, there is something a nice about the canvas not being completely clean, or white, it adds more depth. A distraction. I also then love to layer the paint on top.. Not with brush strokes but with plastic. It leaves lines and cuts. Scratches. Something that I did not wish to be perfect.

So the illusion eye. Controlling your thoughts. Mindwashed. Ink on plastic smudges... Something moist just needs to be near it and it hates you! 

Face! This is before much altering of the head shape. You can see that I have cut open the head, just. But that is about it. Happy layering on the canvas!

The eye is something different. I worked with ink and plastic. You can see though it. I am not sure how clearly you can tell. You need the right amount of light. Light and shadows, hole in my sculptures and gaps, space are all things that I tend to play about with. I will do a post about it when I am next with the relative pieces of work. Hopefully by that point, this will be finished and can be included.

Perhaps the other eye. Ink, plastic & yarn. The 'eyes' may get coloured... Somehow (not sure if I have the resources here)

4am. Late Night Art. This was just a photo, the work had done previously. Some needs to be edited. But here you can see that the eye is transparent. 

As the above photo shows, in all of its high quality.. The lips... Mouths, three mouths. These were shaped onto the face. At this point I need to cut the mouth. And finish achieving the desired shape. I think I want more plastic here so the mouths also have some transparency as they will be open. I just need to consider the teeth. Acrylic on plastic?

The 3D mouths have began to have been added. And ears.. Though I think I will removed the ears... The mask mouth needs reshaping to match the more elaborate extra mouths. And so they all link together. 

I took a step at actually thinking about what I wanted to do inside the head. I had thought about it a little and was kinda thinking something about ideas and escaping.

The quality of this image is just generally bad as it is a sketch with words. Something I do to get all the information I need down when the ideas are hitting me so I do not forget. This is making the head transparent, for purpose of what will be beneath. As you can see there are lights and mesh. But also the idea of having little notes that sit on the mesh saying stuff... What stuff? Who knows! Perhaps dreams that are YOU have yet to achieve. Or obstacles stopping YOU.

I thought about lights. Maybe white lights or different coloured fairy lights. A layer of mesh or netting just trapping the lights. A clock. Tick. Tock. If you have ever been unable to sleep. Or have had a deadline stopping you from being able to sleep. Or knowing that you need to get up in X about of hours. Then you know. The ticking clock. As I have been writing this I have been watching the time. Seeing it progress from 4am, then 5am, and now.. it is close to 6am. I still think that maybe I should sleep. But the sun is already rising. I may have missed my window. I have also had the idea of trying to escape. The person who wants to be asleep, or perhaps the person to whom you become when you cannot sleep escaping. Their hands clawing outside of your mind.


And this is currently all I can add about this project. Really. I will have another update when I am a little bit further in.

What is life? Where to go?

I mentioned this in the first post on here. And it is something I think about at some point most days. Was mathematics the right decision? Should I be doing art? What will I do with my life? These thoughts are pretty much stopping me doing much because everything feels so incredibly uncertain. So basically I am just going to write down some of my plans and ideas. Hopefully to help inspire me that doing a mathematics degree, even if it was the wrong decision - which it might not be, doesn't mean my life is over! (Yes! I am over dramatic sometimes... Okay a lot of the time, I just overthink things...)

First! Mathematics!

Whatever happens I intend to finish this degree. I only have one year left so I mean it isn't that much longer of feeling like I am in this hell! And occasionally, I actually get to study stuff that make me want to sit and read mathematics text books into the middle of the night. Granted, this doesn't happen so often! But I am hopeful for my final year. I am under the impression we get to pick some form of area to focus on and write about. And if I manage to select an area of interest it can only do good things for me! I think once I have the chance to find out what I can research I email people to see if I can have perhaps a little bit more freedom. I think relating mathematics to an area, perhaps seemingly, unrelated will refresh me. Last academic year I had to study the most amazing module! It was the mathematics of music. It was such a beautiful module. We learnt random snippets of mathematics in relation to music and how it progressed or why it sounds a certain way. It was so interesting and is the best results I have ever gotten while at university. So clearly the arts are important to me.

This is meant to show the planets and where they fit on the musical scale as they rotate and orbit. [1 - More info]

I am not sure if I would be allowed to study the mathematics of music again, although I would be very interested in studying the mathematics of art, or finding a mathematical way to represent the ideas presented with gender and sexuality. Though that the mathematics behind that might be far too basic! To look into the mathematics of art might be quite interesting. One could look at proportions and focal points, consider geometry and maybe even graph theory, i.e. do the main focus areas of a piece when connected in a logical fashion create Eulerian trails? The more I think about it the more interesting I find it and the more I wish to know the answer!

After my mathematics degree I have a few options in mind of what to do after. One of which is get a PGCE (?) which would allow me to teach mathematics. I have mixed opinions about wanting to do this. Getting a PGCE would give me a clear career path and a nice way of getting money. Mathematics teachers are often always in demand and it would be cool to try and help improve the way mathematics is taught and help kids develop some form of passion for maths. However, as many people have said, and I agree with it! I am not sure if I am the kind of person to fully conform, which might be one reason to why a degree solely focused upon one subject is causing me difficulties. I am someone with piercings, not so many, but I want more. I am someone with dyed, colourful hair. And these two things make me happy. They allow me change and play about with myself in a creative way. And I am not ready to give that up just yet. Maybe I will be in a few years but I don't think I will be. I think this is part of who I am. Not a phase. I imagine if I had lived in a country without uniform I would have many more piercings and have had crazy hair for a long, long time. Thus this makes me doubt if I would be able to fit into a normal school. Friends have suggested trying to work at a.. an.. erm.. I cannot remember the over-riding term. I thought it was 'free' school but apparently that is just a school that is funded by the government. Perhaps independent schools. I.e. steiner schools.

So after some googling, alternative schooling or alternative education. I was taking the term free as I remember reading this:

'A co-educational boarding school in Suffolk, England - The original alternative 'free' school'[2]

This school and the Steiner schools are somewhat similar. They have a significantly more laid back approach to teaching and have a different passion for the way in which they share their information. So far from what I can tell it looks as though it would be something I agree with, and would very much like to go and spend some time at one, actually a few to get a good overview, of these alternative education methods. But the idea that the children can select which areas they wish to learn, or to be taught in blocks where all the subjects try and interlock so you are fully emerged within the time period or area you are studying. But it is definitely something I would like to have the option to consider. My parents have also suggested substitute teaching and teaching adults as options.

Second. Arting! 

So the main reason for this blog is for me to talk about what I am doing artistically. And right now. I am doing a lot. I am trying to develop new skills and keep building on what I know. Last night I was watching a video [3]. It is about some students in Japan studying fashion, and it talks about the different courses they have on offer. Some of the are pretty bizarre; a full course of Visual Kei fashion!

Then I suddenly thought! How amazing would it be to study fashion in Japan?! Unfortunately I do not know Japanese. However, I think there definitely needs to be a fashion course which encourages semesters at the fashion capitals of the world. I mean you need to study in London, New York, Tokyo & Paris when it comes to fashion as they all have something different to offer. (I am not saying these are the only places, of course not, but these are just four that spring to mind).

Currently I am working on my own fashion line. And I felt like I really linked to the structure in Japan. As they seem to visualise more than the clothing. They create characters who would wear their clothing. This is something I am also doing. For the line I am producing right now I have created a whole world, to which I want to create a trailer like video that illustrates a little about what is going on in the world as it shows the clothing. I want the fashion I recreate to run into other elements of the visual arts and media.

Besides doing the fashion line, I am also creating my own home decor business. Which is going to consist of cute little things that you add to your home to make it cute, reflect your own personality and just add something a little bit quirky. I will not post anything about the home decor or the fashion line until I have done a little bit more on both, which will probably be summer when I have everything I need at my disposal.

But I have thought about doing a foundation year at college in art and design. I think it would be extremely good for me to just sit and live and breathe art for a year. It would also force me to really improve so I could get a decent grade. Moreover, it would give me the answer. Was mathematics the right choice?!

I have other arty ideas. But I will save them for another time!

Thrid! What else?!

Map with pins. (Just found of google images, source is unknown).

I would very much like to travel. I have many ideas of how to do this. I would love to just travel continuously for a few months, but I doubt I can afford or have time for it, so I will probably just have to travel in bursts. However, I would love to get a TEFL qualification so I can teach English as a foreign language. This might make travelling a little easier if I can get chunks of work every now and again.

The other things I am thinking about are comedy & maybe burlesque. Both of these require a lot of confidence. Something I am not so familiar with. it might be fun to try comedy, and I have been writing things down, however I have no idea how a crowd would react and the idea of standing in front of lots of people and getting rejected in horrific! (Burlesque would allow me to do something a little different with it, and make it my own. Another thing I have ideas for. Though first I need to get into better shape & see if I am coordinated enough to do the stuff in my head!)


I have been writing this for an age! So I am going to stop now. And hopefully bake some nommy food (assuming the shop is open this Good Friday). So if you read all this, wow, I am sorry it was so long. If you didn't.. well. thanks? Haha.

Human Face Sketch Project

My art has never been something that has been particularly realistic. I love elongated bodies with macabra and inhuman features. My art has always been something created in my head and me then trying to express it in whichever format I have decided I wish to portray it. However, more recently, I have decided that the best way to perfect what I do is to be able to create realism when necessary. Thus, I bought a sketch pad to fill with human faces.

Pink Pig's Off White A5 Sketch Pad, Two rubbers, HB, 2H & 2B pencils & Sharpener.

I intend to draw the full human body eventually and other things. But my primary focus right now is faces. So here are a few that I have done. (The first two are before I got the sketch pad...). So enjoy!

This is the first detailed, realistic drawing I have done in a long time. Pretty much the first time I have picked up a pencil in getting close to three years. Well of course I have done the odd sketch but nothing too major! Right now I am pretty impressed with her, Her face is a bit iffy at points but I approve of her overall facial shape. I found this photo on a list of great black and white photography.  click for the photograph

This drawing was weird. It started off looking a lot more like who it was supposed to be when I had only drawn the eye on the right hand side (faced us, so her left). Then I must have messed it up somewhere. Boo! Can you guess who it is?

This is unrealistic. I believe the proportions look a little alien. I accidently messed up as I expected the paper to be bigger (it has been awhile!). But I kinda liked the outline so filled it in trying to keep as much realism as possible. This was inspired by a photo found here, though I cannot find out if this is the original source or not here.

So this is Blind Mag, a character from Repo: The Genetic Opera, which you should all watch! I copied this from someone's cosplay, so not the original.  The eyes are a wee bit off. Here is the Cosplay

I thought there was a particularly big jump from the previous one to this one. The shading and proportions seem a lot more real. Found on Google Images. If you know the original source, please tell me!

I love the eyes on this one. I did a quick outline sketch, which didn't really stay in place the more I drew. I pretty much completely reshaped it as I went alone. I stared at the high hand side, at the eye and worked my way down. and then back up the left hand side. The did the hair. Hair is still something I am working on. And I intent to do just a hair piece soon to work on that. here

So these are six drawings I have done over the last month or so. I intend to keep improving and hopefully will be able to pull in what I learn from this into other elements of my work. I hope that the copying will get more accurate, because right now it seems clear that these are definitely based on real people even if they do not always look like those people.... Moreover, once my student loan goes in I plan to get some artist colouring pencils so I can begin to add some colour sometimes, though I know that will bring its own challenges too!

A Place to Create, Ramble & Drink Tea

Hello. Is anyone there?
As I write this a migraine is forming which I believe is probably a sign I should go eat & drink. But I will first share my thoughts and reasoning for creating this.
I have wanted to run a fashion blog for awhile. I have actually tried twice. And every time I notice I am too honed in. I understand more and more each and every day that I need variety. Without it. I get bored, extremely unproductive and life gets stagnant fast. I have recognised that I need to push my interests. All of them. Maybe periodically. But nevertheless, they all need to be pushed and get to share some of the limelight some of the time. As a mathematics student I have allowed my creative and arty side to just sit there, lay dormant and wait its turn. In doing so my mood has been heavily affected and mathematics has became something I dislike more and more each and everyday.
Recently, I have been trying to start doing art again. I keep getting creative urges when I should be sleeping, and then if I am forced to wake up before I have had enough sleep my urge to create comes back. I have found that my sleep and creativity are linked. Somehow.
Anyway! My point is that I need somewhere to express myself. To show myself my own progress and hopefully regain some control on my thought processes that seem all jumbled without the correct channelling. I have many plans for myself creatively and it is a shame that it has took me the best part of three years to stop finding it.
Here you will find what I am doing. Be it art. fashion. cooking. studying and occasionally something different like exercise or just a nice talk about tea. But it is:
My confessions.
Welcome to my mind.
In all of its glory.
In all of its confusion.
In all of its insanity.
