Ink Blot-Thingies and kaleidoscopes

For the lecture after pinhole cameras, we had to create digital negatives. I thought it would be interesting to use my pinhole images to create a digital image that would go back to being developed using the chemical process, so like one round trip back to the same thing. These are the images I made, they are a little cheesy but I couldn't really think of any other distinctive shapes I could use.

I wanted to print something a little less cliché along the same idea so I went on to making some kaleidoscope looking images which i'm pretty happy with...

Pinhole Stereograph Camera

I made a pinhole camera! and a Stereograph one at that. Somehow I'd gone this long without making one before which surprised a few people. the stereograph part of this was by chance though, I didn't have a box for the class so used what was there which happened to be a 1 by 6 inch chocolate box so to make the most of it added two apertures instead of one. The images came out very contrasted and you cant really see the benefit of the two images unless you cross your eyes in a funny way... but it was fun to do and looks interesting so i'm happy!

K.E.O. Fashion Outfit #2

#2 of Katharine's fashion blog, fighting for light with this shoot but i'm happy with the photos. I do quite like this location mind, the low light, setting sun and car lights all tied together nicely. 

Katharine and Clat

Here's another photo with Katharine and the Clanny House cat. It's isn't too obvious but this photo was taken in the blizzard we had last month and yes, she is wearing dungarees, voluntarily!
I love how spontaneous this photo was, it started snowing, we grabbed an outfit and ran and the cat was there waiting. perfect.

Pattern Sleeve Ts

Alongside making tie dye Ts i also made some with pattern sleeves sewn on. I personally really like this design and think it livens up a plain T without going overboard and keeping it simple.
I posted these on facebook too and got a few orders in so i decided to make some more with different patterns to see how they looked. 

I went into a material shop yesterday and went a little crazy with all the amazing choices they had! believe it or not this is a condensed selection of the material i originally wanted to buy. I'll be sewing them onto white Ts this week and hopefully it wont go too badly. 

K.E.O. Fashion Outfit #1.

I'm taking photos for Katharine of her outfits twice a week to contribute to her fashion blog, this is day 1!

It was a very windy day which made it difficult to take the photo outside, finding shelter against this wall was the best we could do. The wind added a slightly more comical value to the images that was originally unintended but i think it gives it a bit more character. More will be posted about these images on Katharine's blog its self so keep an eye out!

Tie Dye!

Here's some of the tie dyes i've been making over the last week or two, been having a whale of a time doing these! I've been selling them off over facebook and had a pretty good response which had given me a lot of ideas. This is something i've always fancied doing and finally got around to ordering the Ts and the dye, started off with 5 of them and after selling them all straight away i decided to make more. The ones here are some of my favourites but i made 34 in total. 

This was my workshop for the week, much to my families dismay, my array of bins, cake tubs and boxes served me well...
