Where have I been?, 2 Assessments down & Its nearly Christmas!
Well! the past few weeks since the prosthetics event has been absolutely manic!, to the point where I decided not to blog until I had got my life together and had got through the last few weeks of uni for this semester!…
Basically, I finally finished those dreads and added them on to the bald cap for my assessment with Tina, we then had the assessment, which I wasn’t to happy with the end result, but Lauren was wonderful and an absolute trooper for me standing there bless her, semi naked for a full body paint. She ended up looking more like an avatar than an alien in the end lol.
For 2 of the weeks I didn’t got in as I had so much I could do at home I decided to just crack on with it 😀 stitching hair to tights, finishing presentations and essays and also trying to figure this dread situation out lol
Sam’s hair assessment has been driving me mad ever since I had finished the moustache one! Turns out it worked way better than I thought 😀 RESULT! and my model was great 😀 even having all the extra hair and structures added to her own hair!
these are just some behind the scene shots as I haven’t had a chance to edit them yet…
apart from all that not a lot has been going on :), we did however get our timetable for next semester in January 😀 we still have Sam, Anna May and Gary 🙂 but for sfx we have Lesley! Lesley has been on our course before and now has become a tutor :D…. I’m looking forward to having a new tutor and learning new things :P.
Christmas is literally 5 days away, and your home tomorrow 😀 I’m looking forward to having a catch up and a laugh over the Christmas period.
Now all I have to do is finish off all the last bits and submit on the 9th of Jan… and then another 2 weeks off 😀 Hallelujah!
The week of Hair with Sam, Neil Gorton’s Prosthetic event & Trying to get hold of the taxi man!
Monday 14th November
Today in Tina’s class, I went to get my mould out of the locker to find that the white silicone I had poured onto it last week, had only covered 3/4 of my mould 😦 I had the hard decision to actually do the mould properly and add more white silicone to it, or to used the silicone we have in our kits which takes about 20 mins to set instead of 6 hours! I chose to do the 6 hour one as it will last longer in the long run, and I know I wont have problems when it comes to actually creating my prosthetic! So that meant that I had to sit around all lesson as I didn’t bring any other work as I was supposed to be cracking on with that… Fuming! I Did help Sanita sort her mould out as hers didn’t set as we think she didn’t put enough catalyst in to help the silicone “go off”. We spent about 20 mins trying to scoop it all out and salvage her sculpt underneath.
Tuesday 15th November
Sam told us last week we could come in at 9:30 this week, which meant I had an extra hour in bed, but also meant that we would be stuck in all the morning rush hour that seemed to have appeared…. we had actually forgotten how annoying it was going at 7:30 lol…. Once we got to Burnage I tried to ring the taxi service and it took me 27 attempts to get through to them 😦 how annoying!
In Sam’s class today, she had set up little stations around the room, involving hair and tasks we had to complete to move onto the next one. We had so much fun!… The first one we had to finish off adding hair to this corset that had already been made. We had to add a piece to it ready for the next group to then add onto that. We came up with making wings to add to the corset :D… the next station was making round shapes with hair, and also making a tree decoration out of hair for our Christmas tree that will be in reception 😀 We came up with a little snowman, to go along with Sophie’s little reindeer that she had made lol , we also got to learn how to do a basket braid type thing and make jewellery out of hair…. Can I just mention there was a lot of hair hanging around and being glued to everything haha.
Saturday 19th November
Today was the day we got to travel to Birmingham for the Prosthetics Event that Neil Gorton was hosting 😀 we had the chance to sit in seminars where special effects makeup artists were doing talks and demonstrations, we also got tot see the body art show that was being held and have a look around the stalls who were selling lots of sfx makeup things, so I actually got to see Neil Gorton who is amazing at his work and it was so interesting…. on the not so fun side, it was a very long day, the night before we stayed at Laurens which was funny, but it meant we had to get up at 5:15am just to get to uni on time…. abit like Harry Potter in March aha.
Safe to say I couldn’t wait to get home in the end and crawl into my bed as I was shattered… 10pm I got home 😦
The week where I finally put silicone on my mould, and I became a ring master for the morning
Monday 7th November
I tell you now, It is absolutely Baltic at the minute in the mornings, like ice cold and I hate it 😦 especially when your tired and rather be in bed lol… This morning in Tina’s class it was time to start building the walls around my mould ready to pour the silicone in to create the negative ready to make the actual prosthetic… We use WED clay which is wet and then dries hard. You have to create key holes and stuff so when you remove it, it doesn’t cause a suction which means it could get stuck lol.
This is basically what it looks like, I didn’t get a picture of the actual silicone in the mould, so iv dug out my one from last year 🙂 This was the one for the deer looking one I did 😀
The process takes about 6 hours to cure, so next week ill be able to go in and pull it apart and have my negative… this brings me on to deciding we were going home at 12 🙂 we had nothing else to do, plus as per usual no Gary this week lol… I think he’s given up on us lot haha.
Tuesday 8th November
Today, I was being a model for Ashleigh for her moustache assessment, we had a arranged a few weeks ago that id help her out and model her wonderful moustache :D, her idea was a ring master with big pom pom looking hair, and this moustache, with full outfit! I even got to play around with a whip!! lol…. she started off adding in the extra hair and curling them, then apply the moustache! MY GOD is it super itchy… I don’t know how actors and stuff can go a full day of filming with that attached to their face! I could only have it on for about and hour and a half… it was horrible lol. Anyway she then applied my makeup and it was time to get dressed and head to the studio!… Sophie was also modelling for Katie and she was a pirate, we had a few photos taken together as we looked great!
After Sam’s class me and Leah decided we were super tired and didn’t have the brain space or patience to head to Anna Mays class, so we headed home 😀 so that was 2 days where we finished at lunch time (Head in hands)
This week I had ago at painting bubbles… this is for Tina’s assessment, I watched loads of YouTube videos and then had ago myself…There green as the bubbles for my assessment will be green, I also found that the green worked better than the black and white 😀
Next week is the Neil Gorton prosthetics event in Birmingham… I’m so excited 😀 😀 but its a super early start again like the harry potter trip
The week the sculpting begun!, hair fruit & the face paints are out in force!
over the weekend I decided to have ago at creating a few things for myself, and practice using polymorph plastic to create teeth!, I decided to come up with this eye piece with loads of teeth all over it. Ones iv created and resin teeth that I bought online. and this is what I came up with….
I created the piece first on my own face cast, added in the teeth and then pre painted it before applying it to my face :D, I also decided to play around with my facepaints again and have another go at doing a neon zombie! I love these things!
Anyway…
Monday 17th October
Today in Tina’s class, it was about time I started on that bloody mould! actually putting clay to face cast lol….so it begun, im going for an alien/intergalactic type creature thing… just winging it basically! what I do best! 😀 and here it is…
still not 100% finished but I’m getting there, after half term its time to finish it off and get it moulded ready for application and assessments. Also this week I had to finish of the bald cap I was doing with silicone to make it thicker, so hopefully my plan will work, however to this date (Friday) its doing my head in as its not working how I want it to 😦 Leave it with me I’m on it!
again no Garry this week, which were not complaining about as that means we get to finish at 2:30 😀
TAXI!!!!!!
Tuesday 18th October
No Leah today as she had Bieber fever hahaha (She went to see him Monday night aha)
Today I finally finished my moustache! its ready for cutting and styling into the style I want 😀 I’m so happy to be done knotting each individual hair! Phew, the second photo is Nicole’s beard which is almost finished lol, she was trying it out on my face lol.
Also in todays lesson we had an hour, in groups to come up with a hair creation using extra hair and to be as extravagant as we could! so Me, Hannah C, Nicole & Lauren had the idea for the pineapple pen/Apple pen song which is on the internet at the minute, however I said maybe we should do a fruit bowl instead, with all the colours laying around. We made a Pineapple, Orange, Banana & Apple. Me and Hannah C were on Fruit duty, while Lauren had to prep Nicole’s hair & Nicole was on the duty of creating the bowl for all the fruit to sit in, we had so much fun and ours turned out great (Plus we didn’t cheat :P)
Between Sam & Anna May we had a break and found this leaf outside that me and Lauren were obsessed with because it had big water droplets on it from when it had been raining 🙂
Anna Mays class this week was playing a pub quiz without the alcohol 😛 and the questions were based on the guest lecturer we had the week before, we also had a few task sheets to do and then it was time for home 🙂
I’m Coming down to see you this weekend as its half term next week & I’m looking forward to having a break away
The week we did the catwalk for French Connection, Balcaps & Sculpting and Airbrushing!
Saturday 8th October,
L-R, Nicole, Sheryl, Me 😀 Charlotte & Claire (Not Sure of the lovely ladies name on the end)
So Me, Nicole & a few of the girls from the third year at university, turned up to Evoque Nightclub in Preston all kitted up ready to start applying makeup to models ready for the catwalk in connection with Pure Management Preston! The catwalk was for charity and we had French Connection walking, Pandorella, A Jewellery line & 2 other brand walking. We arrived on time, set up and then got given our orders and the list of models we would be doing for the show. I had 2 girls and 2 children to apply makeup to, however when it all started I ended up with my 2 models, 6 children and a male model that I applied make up to. It was so much fun! Nicole didn’t want to do her male model so I stepped in for her and sat him down in my chair lol. we then had to touch ups throughout the show and then had the chance to sit down and watch 😀 We had so many photos and videos!
The Models, Photographers & us makeup artists were all amazing and the day turned out to be great, had such a blast 🙂
Monday 10th October.
I have come to the conclusion I hate Monday mornings with a passion, I end up feeling like death all day and cant concentrate at all, which leads me onto trying to sculpt my prosthetic onto Laurens face cast, I must have tried about 5 times applying the clay and then ripping it off! I begged Tina to let me take it home so I can sit down and concentrate properly to crack on with it (She let me thankfully :D) so that’s my next job to do… Her lesson I spent applying layer of bald cap plastic onto one of the red head so next week I can apply the silicone on top of it so I can make my headpiece which I’m keeping a secret until its ready :P. We also had a bloke in today to help us with our airbrushes and give us a few tips on them and showing us how to take them apart and put them back together properly 😛
No Garry this week lol, he just said we could go home so by 2:30 it was time to head home 😀
Tuesday 11th October.
I don’t know what was wrong with me but for the life of me I was so tired, I slept on the train, in Sams class and on the train home, I felt like crap all day. Sam’s class this week was finishing the knotting basically as it was the last week we could do it, I’m nearly there! just a few more hairs to add and then I can cut it and style it ready for our assessment! I spent most of the lesson doing it until the last half an hour, where I tried to get away with having a nap on the chair in the corner, Sam caught me and had a few stern words lol.
This was me between lessons laying on the floor with Nadia telling me I wasn’t aloud to fall back to sleep lol!
Anna- May’s class we had a guest lecturer in named Laura Tallentire, she was an ex student and came in to have a chat about the industry and how to get into things ect.. we even got to play around with some scar wax creating wounds with blood and stuff to have a mess around. It was actually really interesting 😀
by the end of the lesson I was ready for bed and on that note it was time to head home!
I arrived home to my parcel I ordered from MyKitCo 🙂 my new brush bag which im obsessed with!
😀 😀 😀
Anyway ill be over to visit next week 🙂 plus i have some Halloween makeup looks to do this week… so keep and eye out 😛
The student year has officially begun, The Circus came to Uni lol & FacePaint galore!
Monday 12th September.
OMG how I haven’t missed getting up at 5am to go to university get me there for 9am lol, feeling like death and dragging myself out of bed, it was time to get myself together and hall arse to the train station to meet Nicole & Leah!! wooo Gang’s back together again. Leah filled us in as usual about her summer holiday and what’s been going on, and it was nice to see each other again 😀 plus I got to see Lauren who I haven’t seen since we left!.
All the hello’s & how have you been’s over and done with it was time for Tina’s lesson ready for SFX! After going through our schedule for this first term, we got to sit about and come up with our first characters of the year which involves creating face casts again and any character we like as long it involves airbrushing & a prosthetic OBVs! So Pencils out! and time for a sketch and a brain storm. Not going to lie I fell asleep for half an hour 😀 (Standard of Miss Letch!) my alarm went off at 10:30am lol and woke me up! I mean it was bound to happen, I cant help it hahahaha.
After Tina’s we were supposed to have our tutorial with our new tutor Garry! Hi Garry 😀 Your in for a treat with us lot! thankfully we didn’t technically have to go to that, instead we had a meeting our principal and having to watch this stupid presentation on respect and blah blah blah 😀 Home Time! my favourite part of the day 😛 crawling into bed and what felt like a super long day, it was time to catch up on my sleep ready for day 2.
Tuesday 13th September.
Sam’s Class was up first 😀 😀 😀 So happy we have Sam again this year as I really enjoyed her class last year :D. First up we have to create moustaches of a character or famous singer or someone we knew and the rest of the class had to guess who’s moustache it could have been. I decided to make mine like your little moustache you have going on lol & funnily enough so did Sophie 😀 we had matching Sam Moustaches!! they all turned out really good & I was on a roll guessing who’s they might have been 😀
I added in a soul patch for you 😛
We then went through this semesters schedule and have a think about what kind of character we might be coming up with this time, the first one has to have a moustache or a beard and the second is based on a childhood nightmare or memory! watch this space as I have some awesome ideas 😀
After Sam, we had Anna-May who now replaces Lindsay from last year although Anna-May’s class is slightly different and we only have 4000 words to write this time lol No Pressure!
We sat in her class until 3, we got to talk about work experience and ways to go about getting some. Part of our course involves working a certain amount of hours within the industry to pass this part of the course :D.
The freshers fair came to uni and they had advertised that the circus was coming aha, this involved a coconut shy, hook a duck, a guy on stilts and a candyfloss machine lol. Free candyfloss though! I cant say no to that aha. The stands were advertising the local stuff we can get involved in & were handing out free stuff lol! by about 4 it was time to head home as we were pooped and had stuff to get on with lol.
This week I ordered a ton of face paints ready for this year and they are AWESOME!!!!! check them out! I even had a play about with them and had ago at doing a neon zombie to see how pigmented the colours were 🙂
Hope you had a good first week back at university to 😀
I’m officially a 2nd year! The new term is about to begin! & Summer Hols are over!
Its currently Wednesday & the new term begins on Monday the 12th! I made it to the second year which is a start aha! who knew! after an eventful summer holiday & a break from it all, I’m ready to begin again and conquer a new year, with new creations, designs and characters. Although this a quick post to get me back into the swing of things, Im excited to see everybody again as I have missed them all…. this could possibly be the year we both graduate!
I have a basket full of new makeup on standby ready to purchase for my kit & the new student year, however student finance cant pull their finger out and sort out my money! I caught up with Nicole the other day and were both so excited to start the new plus iv not seen Leah since we left! (its been 1 whole year since we all first met and it feels like a lifetime) I need my usual Monday update on the train of the weeks shenanigans 😀 so roll on Monday to find out what’s been going on! Plus this years schedule is exciting! 5 hours almost on a Monday of SFX! bring it on!
The house is on its way! remembering my last post about it when I moved in and how I wanted the ground to swallow me up from all the stress & building work that needed doing 😦 However the first floor is almost complete & mum has until November to get it done ready for the house warming she planned ha!
I’m so excited for your show this year & having another trip to London to live as a student for a week again! Roll on October! lol
The weeks of serious stress, Time running out & its all over….. until September!
so the past couple of weeks have been crazy busy! 2 assessments in 1 day, work to finish off and catch up on. Creating crazy outfits for crazy characters & I was a dragon for the afternoon.
Where do I start….
The past couple of blog posts have been about us making these moulds ready to start making our prosthetic pieces. The last time I posted I think I had just moulded my first one! and it turned out better than what I expected… so the time had come for me & Nicole to use the pieces we had created, on each other for our superhero/Supervillian characters we had to make. Nicole’s was based around the pink dragon from Shrek! and mine was loosely based on Maleficent! they turned out sooo cool. But before I show you, let me take you back to where the stress began!
Nicole had her Supervillain assessment up first! with me kindly being her model for it. she had created big wings, brought me this gorgeous grey wig and brought the fishnet stocking for later 😛 aha. She started by applying the piece to my face, which felt really weird trying to breath through the little slits on the nose piece. She then airbrushed it pink added in the detail (She used the fishnet tights to create scales up my arm and around the prosthetic piece (Magic))and daah daaah the creation was made.
My Supervillain was loosely based on Maleficent 🙂 (Who doesn’t love that movie!)
Her name was Aurella! she had large antlers and a big long cloak and mini antlers growing from her head 🙂 I was so happy with how the final look turned out. However! I need to work on my edges of my prosthetic piece as they took me forever to blend out when it came to applying them. I airbrushed all around the edges with black and blended it into her hair, so you couldn’t see the fact that the prosthetic was slightly bigger than her forehead! she shouted at me as I cut some of her hair off trimming it 😛 Sorry Nicole! I used a giant piece of black fabric to create the cloak, and I was going to make a staff, but it was going to be a lot to carry on the day as I also had another assessment… but more about that shortly. Here was the final Piece.
I attached the antlers by hot glue gunning them to a black headband, I separated her hair and pulled some of it through the middle of the antlers so you couldn’t see it, then tied string to the back to hold it to her head as they were pretty heaving lol. Nicole worked her fabulous magic to make my photos turn out great 🙂 My favourite one yet!
On the same day I had my Directors assessment. We had to create characters that would fit into a directors movie. I chose to do Tim Burton! Love him! I chose to do Pinocchio and turn him into something that would go into a film….I did the sunken eyes, the stripes and the dark messy hair! I also bought a prosthetic pixie nose instead of the usual long nose that Pinocchio has ( in the final image you cant see the nose best)… we had to do a demo in front of some of our classmates and show how to do the make (whilst being filmed) aha the most nerve racking thing ever! Thanks Nadia!
I had my tears that day… it had been a long hard stressful day, plus I wasn’t feeling to great… so I had a moment! the first of many from the girls 😛
I was pleased with the fact I got it all done and they looked great!
A week later it was submission day & 4pm was the deadline… thankfully I had completed the work the night before and just wanted to hand it in and get it out of my possession lol. I did the best I could and fingers crossed I at least get a pass! The queues for the printers that day was unreal…. there was a lot of paper, laptops and glue sticks! with everyone running around frantically trying to get all their work done on time! Us girls had arranged a meal in the local restaurant, to have drinks, a big meal and a final catch up before we all broke up for the summer! It was a fabulous after noon! *Clink* Thank F**k its all over!
All The Girls For The Final Meal At Alberts.
Me & Lisa Messing around
Had such a great time this year with them all. YOU ALL BETTER BE BACK NEXT YEAR!
I have learnt my lesson this time and I’m determined to do even better next year and not be so lazy on a few things….. I shall be spending the summer researching on more stuff & buying more makeup for my kit!
I had this cartoon picture of me done, that I can use in the future for a logo or something… or a profile picture because it looks so cool 🙂
The week of 1940’s Photoshop, Face Casting Stage 2 & Harry Potter World
Pre warning this blog is going to have loaaads of photos 😛
Monday 7th March..
Lindsay’s class this week was this smart target stuff again, nothing exciting just pulling ourselves together ready for this new essay thing we got to write 😀
Vicky’s this week was us sorting out our Fairy-tale idea and which Lost Boy we were picking to do for the assessment 🙂 I’m so excited to start making the outfit and everything for this assessment 😛
Carl’s class involved me photo shopping my 1940’s photos, still not finished it or 100% happy, but its getting there, I managed to remove the logo off her boiler suit and Photoshop a giant British flag behind her, Oh and we greyed it slightly.
Tuesday 8th March…
This week in Sam’s class all the other girls had their 1940’s assessments, me and Nicole were supposed to practice airbrushing for our superhero assessment, but she ended being roped in as a model for Ashleigh, so ill let her off, so I pretty much pottered about, annoyed everyone and had a mess around with the airbrushing gun for the whole of 10 mins lol… this is what I achieved hahaha 😀 Loads Right!
We finally finished the moulding part of our prosthetics, and it was time to do the next stage. Basically you have to build a moat around the prosthetic piece to pour the silicone on to create the negative mould!, so this involved loads of WED clay being built up (WED clay is clay that Walt Disney uses to create little figures, its named after him) So by this point my mould started to look like a dinosaur hahaha
you put little keyhole things in the clay so you can pop the mould out when the silicone has been poured in, we even had to cover the eyes with these star shapes, which makes it look really creepy!
Next step its to mix picture A and picture B together which creates the first layer of silicone which takes 6 hours to cure (Dry)
Picture A Picture B Final piece
So next week we pour another layer on top of what we have done to create the final piece of the mould, for the next step.
Wednesday 9th March.
I went to Nicole’s house to meet up with her ready to head to Manchester, we nipped into Manchester town centre so I could grab a new suitcase for uni & one of those neck pillows for the long journey we had coming up the following day. Leah met up with us in Manchester, so we could grab some food which was yum!, we found this noodle bar, which is right next to the train station, where you can fill it up with noodles and toppings and eat loads, The spring rolls weren’t very nice, and it was pretty filling but it was nice lol. It doesn’t look very appetising but it was lol.
Molly came to pick us up, ready to head to the supermarket to grab some munchies for the bus the next day. Stocking up on Sweets, chocolate and more junk food, we were ready. Slumber party at Molly’s, we had a good time, even though we had a boiling night sleep, Nicole decided to sleep on me and Leah made weird noises when she slept hahahaha.
Thursday 10th March…. Harry Potter Day!!!
5am wake up call, to get out life together, jump in the car and get to uni for 6am for the bus which would drive us all the way down to London to Harry Potter Studios! 5 hours it took on the way there on this really fancy bus we had, where the chairs reclined and it had a toilet :D.
Arriving at 11am we were all dying of tiredness, but we were excited to be there 😀

Me Drinking Butter Beer Which Was Disgusting!Gave Nadia The Butter Beer Outside Privet DrivePrivet DriveNicole, Nadia, Leah, Me, & Lauren On Hagrid’s BikeThe Night Bus – Take It Away Ernie!
Firstly Butter Beer Is Rank! Its Like a soda float, that’s fizzy and buttery but also bitter! The white foamy scum on the top is nice though! 😛 Me & Nicole shared one as we weren’t sure if we were going to like plus it was £7 just for one cup! privet drive was shut but apparently as of May there opening it up so you can go in and have a look around. Also in that section was the wooden bridge, I think it was the shrieking shack, Ron’s blue car & Hagrids bike.
Off to 9 1/3

Sat On The Carraige Of Hogwarts Express
It was cool that you got to go on the Hogwarts express, and look in all the carriage’s. They were layed out like they were in the film’s and it showed which film and year it was from. We didn’t want to pay £14 for the professional images lol, so we cheated and took pictures of them when they came up on the screen 😀
Giant Replica of HogwartsThe Backside OF Hogwarts
Looking at all the architecture and drawings they did before they even created the movies was amazing!, when we walked around the corner, this giant replica of Hogwarts was there! I mean its HUGE! and we were like WOW!
Fred & Georges Sweet Shop / Weasley’s Puking Pastille’sNadia & Nicole In Diagon AlleyMe & Nadia Outside The Sweet Shop
We had an amazing day, even though it was tiring and I didn’t get back to my own bed until 1am on Friday morning lol. From the gift shop I bought one of those Snap board things they use in the movies when there doing a scene! 😀 always wanted one! plus before we left, we noticed there was a new film set being built for a new movie! we had a guess what it might be. However I was on a mission to find out exactly! So I ran over to the fence, this bloke on a fork lift truck was driving past… I shouted OI! & This was literally the convo:
Me: What going to be filmed on this set?
The Bloke: I’m not aloud to tell you….
Me: Ahhh please I wont tell anyone lol, Give me a clue!
The Bloke: Well where are you? Its something related to Harry Potter
(We guessed that it was Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, which is the book Harry Potter reads in one of the movies)
Me: So is it to do with the book Harry reads?
The Bloke: (Winks at me) Yes!!!
Woooooooooooo!! So apparently its being filmed in the summer and will be out soon starring Eddie Redmayne! (Sorry Mr Fork lift Man but I can keep my mouth shut!) 😛
HOME TIME!!!!! it was time for me to crawl into bed after the long day that we had
had such a lovely day! love my little uni family 😀
The week where smart targets began, we got to play with our airbrush guns and the 1940’s assessment arrived!
Monday 29th January…
Monday morning and it was only me & Nicole on the train as Leah wasn’t very well, grabbing the early morning brew as always we sailed into Lindsay lesson. In this lesson we were learning about these smart targets we have to do as part of our next written assessment thing. OHHH before I forget we got our results this week for our 2000 word essays, ill get to that in a minute though. Lindsay always has a game we can play first thing in the morning to get our brains working, we win sweets if we get the questions right. My Fav part of the day aha! We had to fill in a few worksheets before we could get these results by the end of the lesson. I was happy with my result considering I struggled with the assessment 😀
Into Vicky’s lesson, she had the Kahoot game set up that we used to play with Lindsay, its basically a game we can all play off our phones and we get to give ourselves player names 😀 and again if we got the whole quiz right we won sweets!! I swear they bribe us! 😀 This week I decided to name myself Hissyfit Hannah! the new nickname they gave me hahaha, everyone burst out laughing when it came up on screen 😛
Once we had a game of that, we got out our airbrush guns and got to play around on old white t-shirts using different materials to create different effects which was fun! However… 1. I got the powder paints out because I wanted to test them on the fabric ready for our Fairy tale assessment in a few weeks RESEARCH! and 2. Me & Nicole got a little stress with each other over our final idea for the assessment, which resulted in me peering of the top of the toilet cubicle to cheer a teary eyed Nicole out after she was having a moment! Don’t Judge… we all get like that! Iv been like that over a jar of mayo once when I couldn’t get it open! doesn’t help being stressed either ahah! 😛 so this basically meant we didn’t get much time with the airbrush gun to have a full play about with it like the others. Just to clarify we are back on track now lol.
Carl’s lesson this week was actually serious aha, we had to sit for 45 mins looking at this stupid presentation about respect lol… everyone was getting stress as we just wanted to crack on with our work. However everyone had a rant again about the course and the college, which is starting to get a little bit funny now haha.
HOME TIME please! get me to bed!
Tuesday 1st March…
This morning was pretty chaotic! it was the 1940’s assessment and everyone was running around manic trying to get heated rollers in, outfits ready and their makeup stations set up not to mention getting your makeup brushes sparkling or you loose marks aha! mine was at 11am so I had plenty of time to get ready and I had the lovely Molly as my model 😀 I was going for a 1940’s working girl kinda look, with the added fact we had a nice black dress and shoes to change into at the end to take some photos. I did have a little with the hair as it is so fiddly, so Sam came and gave me a hand, but I got there in the end lol, I’m really happy with the final images, I have a sneak peek you can look at before I photo shop them 😀 plus a look a my immaculate before picture of my work station, you loose marks if its not tidy or in order lol. Sam said she was impressed with my patience over the hair as she could see that I was getting frustrated 😛 that’s a win for me aha! (I didn’t throw a hissyfit for a change 😛 )
