Oh how I missed blogging.

Helloooo! ◕ ◡ ◕ wow, typing a post feels so weird right now since it's been about 2 months since I've wrote one O.O The unbelievable amounts of work I had as exams were approaching, my laziness kicked in leading to last minute work, family events ect. However, I will be back on track with blogging now ^_^ What have I missed? I seriously need to spend some time reading other blogs now, missed reading them. I cannot believe that's it's already February. It feels like Christmas was not long ago! Though it's pretty late mentioning, I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas & New year
Well to begin, this post is a big update on everything that has happened throughout the time I've been away. Firstly I will start where I left off, my Christmas Holidays
I personally had a great holiday! I went up to Manchester where I visited my pregnant sister :D (I'm an auntie sooooon!), then came back down with her and my brother-in-law to London, so for my 2 weeks off school, I spend most of my time with my family, going shopping, having dinners out in china town, sleepovers with my cousin :) To sum up my holiday, I made a collaboration of photos of Christmas Day, Boxing Day (sister's bday) and New Year. Wish I took more photos.

Next update! From the photos above, anyone notice anythingg? :D

I dyed my hair !! & had a few layers cut with a razor comb.
*note to self* avoid razor comb from now on, forgot it was the hairdressers with the razor comb that cause my dry brittle hair from years ago as it damaged the texture of my hair =.=

I've dyed it a 'Ice Mahogany Brown', however it turned out being black at first, but after I washed my hair a few times, hints of red came through and now have hints brown with dark dark brown/black ends. At first I really dislike the black in my hair, was definitely not used to it, but slowly I began liking the darkness ^__^ However, my 'premature' grey hairs are coming back now leaving around maybe 30% of my hair really shiny (elements of grey) copper brown, & with my roots appearing, the grey strands have grey roots with copper brown ends ... unappealing. Need to redye it however, my hair is in it's WORST condition ever, extremely dry, LOTS of split ends due to the dying & straightening. Need to have a haircut soon.

AFTER:
Which colour do you guys prefer on me? Because I'm not sure :/

  Moving on again ^__~, on the arty side of what I've been up to. In my art a levels, we took part in an art exhibition at our school which was part of developing our coursework. I originally had in mind to produce my art piece based on photography however, I thought as it's art, I want to do something 'arty', I know photography is art but I think I prefer keeping photography as just photography and art with drawing, painting and sculpting. However, due to the sudden change, I didn't know what to do, so my teacher gave me an idea which I decide to take on as I had nothing else. My enjoy making my art piece but it's not what I would like to do as it was SCULPTING, let's say, it was tiring working with clay! Let's say I could of done better in perfecting the overlook of the sculptures.

My outcome was of 3 plastic (not actually plastic) casts (made from the clay), of buildings with some relation to time, such as a clock tower or one which historically was time related. Then I projected quotes about time on to these buildings. As you can tell my piece was in the theme of TIME ;P
In my opinion, it's not a very good. especially compared to other students *sigh*, hopefully for my next final piece I will do a better job :D
Sculptures by themselves on display

here's with alternating quotes projected on each sculpture
Now for some photos of other students work on the night :)
Saw some amazing art work that night ^__^
I think this is it for the update, well with the things big enough to mention (if that makes sense lol). Hope you enjoyed this post, and now I will be on to reading people's blogs now :D took me ages to write and edit this post *sigh*, it's okay though hehe. Well that's all for now, I'll be back with another post soon !

Hope your exams went well! How are the A-levels going? I think your hair looks lovely!!!
If you have oily eyelids, using a primer and applying a little eyeshadow over the liner after normally helps! I've gathered so many tips due to my oily lids :)
