6th October. Pigment.

Ok. So if yesterday wasnt out there enough for me, we were told to bring in for today a range of items to make different pigment. .. Crazy. So when i went home yesterday and said 'Mum i need to use household things to make paints & pigments.' The response i got was.. 'Whats wrong with using bloody paint?' And to be honest i couldn't answer i simply shrugged.


Nether the less, I came to uni with an open mind and my bag of tools; Toothpaste, hair dye, brown sauce, teabags, coffee, lippy, foundation, toilet cleaner bubble bath, bath salts soil.. ect ect...

We were then asked to create a palette if you like of different tonal ranges, textures, colour... which I can tell you wasn't easy. But i got there in the end.

We were then asked to use our colour creations to produce enlargements of our 'Homepage on location brief.'

Bleach, toothpaste, glitter, eyeshadow

I came home today with a smile on my face and simply said to my Mum. I'll tell you what wrong with just using paint. There is a box, if you stay inside of it you will aways be safe, but you will never do or experience anything different. To get out of the box is a hard thing to do. But once you do it, you will see things you never would have thought could even happen inside that little box of yours.. . .  

Needless to say. I didn't get any tea tonight.
