Getting Organised

It is my mission this summer (if we can call it that) is to get organised. I always think that Im well organised but I could be better. With my stall and the pressure of university next year is going to be busier than the last. A 5000 word dissertation isn't to bad but its certainly a lot of writing....which is never my speciality. So any tips would be welcome...i know the obvious diaries, wall planner (im def investing in one of these) but if there is something that someone knows please do share. Previously I listed a few and tried some apps but I would be interested in any others. Well I will leave it there and carry on with a report that im writing.
Thanks for reading and get those ideas listed...for those who cant leave comments please feel free to list them on my facebook. Cheers xxx

Trip, Dissertation and Exhibition

Does anyone have anything nice planned for their summer break?? Im off to Romania to learn some traditional crafts. Will be there for four weeks throughout August....looking forward to it but a little nervous as I have never been so far away from home on my own, eek! Am sure it will be amazing though!! What else is there...oh yeah...a dissertation!! 5000 words isn't to bad but am finding it hard to relax with it hanging over my head...must try though. Any dissertation tips are welcome! Tonight is the pre view to the third year contemporary applied arts exhibition. Should be good, have already seen the work but the pre view show is always good. Helping out serving drinks with the lovely Kat....will try not to drink to much but one or two is allowed. If I get a chance I will take some photos and put the up! xx

Spirit of the Jay

Thought I would show my work from my most recent project. It was calle Animal and the project was set by the Collins Gallery in Glasgow. I really enjoyed making my piece which is titled 'Spirit of the Jay' and very please with the outcome. I found out a bit more about what I also like to do which is Fiber Arts and I am looking forward to taking this across with ceramic into my final year. Its a rather scary thought that in a years time I will be back out into the big world but exciting too as my path will be totally different!!

Ceramic Artist

Today I am looking at web layouts so any interesting artists I will pop them on here for people to have a look at. The first one is Emily Myers - a ceramic artist. Some lovely surface textures and shapes.

Its been too long...

I didn't realise how long ago it was since I wrote my last blog. Oops!! Its quite hard to keep on top of everything and sometimes when I have a bit of time my mind goes blank. Basically my memory is shot!! So I am looking into different ways to help. There are these memory joggers you can buy to keep in your pocket but I think you could make them yourself, to suit you. You can check them through out the day so you dont forgot things. Just remember to check your pocket..!! you can be at creative as you like with them...with drawings, text, texture, etc

If you have difficulty reading text on your phone there is an app for specific phones called zoom plus, zooms in on the text and changes the background colour, the link is...

Its not suitable for my phone which is an htc wildfire but it may be suitable for yours.

Well just a few tips...I have a lot of organising to do today which I dont always find easy keeping on top of. So any tips would be great!!
