Dear Sam…

 

 

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!

Anyway speak soon

Dear Sam …

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 😦

Anyway speak soon

Dear Sam…

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

Speak Soon

Dear Sam….

The week that Monday was a stressful one, Moustaches again! & Student lock in 🙂

 

Monday 26th September

Tina’s this week was pulling out our face casts from last week & filing them down to make them smooth ready for sculpting next week 🙂 Lauren’s face turned out great 😛 I spent 2 hours, sanding it, filing and smoothing making sure it was perfect ready to start creating my creation on Monday next week 🙂

I did have the chance to start this week, however I wasn’t in the best mind set to start it off, so I decided to wait and draw up some designs before I start. Last year I remember I just winged it and that’s not always the best thing to do 🙂

Oh & I got electrocuted this week by the bloody plug socket, taking the drill out of the wall, it shocked me 😦 it really hurt… so that was my Monday morning lol!

Garry’s class this week lasted the whole of 10 mins, while he asked if we had any problems & then decided we didn’t need to stay BONUS!.

On the way home, we hopped onto the train, tired and knackered… it got stuck at Wigan 😦 we literally had to jump from one train to the other with like 5 min.. unfortunately for Nicole she was asleep lol.. bless her she had to literally run half asleep with me and Leah shouting at her to move her arse hahaha.

Tuesday 27th September

Sam’s Class today was learning plaiting techniques & carrying on with these moustaches! I’m so proud of myself on how far I got with mine, considering last week it took me 2 hours to do about 6 hairs 🙂

I know this doesn’t look like loads, but there was more hairs by the time the lesson had finished! the orange bit in the picture, is where all the hairs have to be 🙂 I have about 4-5 weeks to get it all done, hair by hair 🙂

We didn’t have Anna-May this week as some of the girls went off to be in the audience of Countdown…. We chose to not go because A. The normal Countdown is boring (If it was 8 out of 10 cats I would have gone) & B. it would have meant that we got home late! Plus student lock in was on this week.

 

Which leads me on to heading to a really cute dessert house called Carmello which did loads of cakes & Macaroons 🙂 I had a passion fruit one, Pistachio and a Vanilla & Strawberry one, they were so yummy :D…

after that we headed to Lauren’s flat for an hour and chilled out until It was time to head into Manchester City Centre for the huge student shopping night…. we went everywhere! I got a new pair of jeans and this really cute jacket… I was exhausted by the time I got home….

This Weeks Makeup look I went for was this really cool clown, I wanted to play about with some of my new face paints that I got, and wanted to see what I came up with 🙂 also had to add in the Snapchat filter of course 😛

Anyway hope you’ve had a good week,

Speak soon

Baldcaps, FaceCasting, Knotting Moustaches & Legging It!

Monday 19th September

Its week 2! & back in with Tina Again :D.. This week we got our boxes which had been filled over the weekend ready for the new year 😀 We each get a box with a bunch of materials in, so that everyone has the same amount of products to use over the year so were not arguing over each year using more of one thing than the other!

All Our Boxes Lined Up

Contents

In this box we get, silicone, plaster bandages, a block of clay, some mixing pots & a marker 😛 I’m so happy that they actually went through with what they were going to do! 😀

Anyway Tina’s class this week was making bald caps ready to face cast for our new characters! So applying layer upon layer of latex the bald caps were coming together. This time I’m using Lauren as my model. So after my usual morning nap 😛 and lunch, it was time to get Laurens face casted and ready for next week. Only took me an hour & refreshed my memory about it all form last year :D.

Next up was tutorial with Garry lol, he introduced himself and told us what his lesson was all about. Basically we go to him if we have any problems! Plus he said he’s going to show us how to use Photoshop properly this year, as from my blog posts from last year, you can see all the drama we had in that lesson 😛

Tuesday 20th September

My GOD was it cold this morning! I haven’t missed all that at all, I even had to put my gloves on!

Sam’s class was up first, and this week we had to start the knotting technique ready to start these moustaches & beards! &&&& its sooooo stressful and fiddly! you have to hook about 2 hairs into a little knot using this tool with a hook on the end, but you end up catching the hook on the mesh and then it all just becomes a knotty mess! Took me an hour just to get 6 hairs onto it lol. Once you get into the swing of it, its really easy, but its starting the swing that’s annoying!

Oh & let me introduce you to Hannah! The blonde one in the picture above, she’s part of the gang now 🙂 two Hannah’s in the same class 😛 Hannah 1 & Hannah 2 lol, Such a cool name!

Next week we have to start actually making the moustaches & stuff ready for our characters, this is going to be a stressful few weeks trying to knot it all if I only did those 6 hairs in an hour haha.

Anna Mays class this week was talking about our Cv’s and how to get them ready for industry when we get shoved into the big wide world and have to find a job! we even got to play a game of Kahoot again which we used to do with Lindsay and involves winning sweets 😀 I’m There! always haha.

We had 3 minutes to leg it to the train this week lol, three of us pegging it up the escalator and literally made it by a second before the doors shut! pros at this shit!

So Last year all the girls would take the mick because I always fell asleep everywhere, this year im going to get them all back! starting with Leah & Nicole…. Unfortunately, to Leah’s expense I didn’t save her picture, however Nicole on the other hand, got well and truly paid back!

That will teach you!

This week I also bought a ring light thing that attaches to your phone so you can take better pictures with a bit of extra light, like selfies & stuff, I bought it so when I face paint I can take better pictures as the lighting in this house is not great!

I’m going to try it out tonight to see what its like 😛

Anyway Speak Soon

Dear Sam ….

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 😀

Ready for week 2 😛

Dear Sam….

The time to de stress can begin….

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 🙂

See you soon

Dear Sam… Loosing The Will To Live!

The week of what the hell happened, uni life! & I’m Fed up!

I haven’t written a blog post for uni for about 2-3 weeks now lol… 2 reasons 1. No internet! & 2. We Moved house!….. for some be known reason the mother decided to switch the Wi-Fi over from our old house to our new house 10 days before we actually moved. So I was without internet and access to the outside world for a whole 10 days! Hence no bl0g. While I sit here right this second in my shabby clothes, covered in paint and dust loosing the will to live..with a spare few mins I might add! I thought id sit down and write this post and take you back to 2 weeks ago and what’s been going on!

 

University!:

As far as I can remember over the past few weeks, we sat down with Lindsay and carried on with our smart target.. the second week it was bank holiday Monday so we didn’t have to go in that day aha!

VICKY’S! I remember… it was the week Me, Nicole, Leah, Molly & Lauren all sat in the library and actually got on with work for a change 😀 we all sat around together to make sure everyone was on the right page… and Leah was searching for an outfit for her fairy-tale costume!.

proof she was actually working hahaha. then onto Carl’s lesson and I couldn’t tell you what had happened that week as I’m pretty sure we just stayed in the library until 4 and then went home 😛 Sneaky 😛

Sam’s class for the past 2 weeks was actually fun, the first week we did an acid burn… I did it with SFX cosmetics & products, where Nicole had to re create the same thing but with homemade stuff, like banana’s and gelatine (which failed) 😛 both wounds looked really good, as for pictures, I have what mine looked like but the after math mess of Nicole’s 😦 (Note to self! take pictures!)

Pretty Smelly id say!. The second week was us just starting our ideas for our Directors assessment… I think I’m going to do Pinocchio Tim Burton style 😀 I’m still looking at ideas :D.

Tina’s lessons were basically us doing the moulds that we built the week before and preparing them for the next stage which is creating the prosthetic… however… these 2 weeks we had to do layers upon layers of bald cap plastic again!!!! about 9 coats I did to get it write, we got to leave early as we cant really do much while they are drying 😦

We basically had to pull them apart, clean the face of all clay, then clean out the actual mould (picking out all the pieces) and then layering them up with bald cap plastic!

 

Then Half Term Began!!!!!

This is where everything went Pete Tong! aha as we finally moved in to this new house, which is so much bigger and has so much space… I’m currently trying to get my room ready so I can move into it and don’t have to share with mum lol….. but its beginning to get on my nerves as it has taken so long so far to get to the place where I’m at and its not even ready yet (sulking!) iv only just put the first layer of paint on, after spending 3 days wall papering, having it plastered, new skirting boards & everything!… plus the most stressful thing is we don’t have carpets yet which is a nightmare! so everything is super duper dusty, you shower and your dusty again after 5 mins (slight exaggeration!) but you catch my drift! Even the cat has gone from being white to grey :D. After almost 4 months off work due to the floods back in December… the day has rolled around to start back at work tomorrow… and although I have enjoyed my time off… it hasn’t been a holiday 😦 I need a break already! this is going to be exhausting trying to study at uni, renovate a house, work and do uni work at home FML!!

To Cheer myself up I bought Zara Martin headphones, which have cat ears and are awesome! I’m in love with them!!!

By the way, If you don’t hear from me for a few days, iv crawled under a rock to sulk! ill be about shortly 😀

Dear Sam…

The week we met Clare Golds, Wounds with Sam & Silicone Moulds.

 

Monday 14th March

For a change in Lindsay’s class this week, we got to meet a lovely woman called Clare Golds! She is a well known makeup artist in the industry and has worked on things like Doctor Who and a bunch of other stuff 🙂 we had a hilarious lesson….. First off we had to create a look in 40 mins with a  scenario of having one thing quirky on your model. Example – you had to do a natural look, but add something quirky like a bold colour on the eye/lip or maybe blue blusher, something crazy and wacky. Me, Nicole & Lauren were in a three, first off we worked on Lauren and gave her Blue & Purple wacky eyebrows. It was down to the last minute and we had realised we hadn’t done anything with her hair!!! we literally had 1 minute to tie her hair in these weird looking buns on the top of her head! safe to say we didn’t win that round as they were wonky and it just looked a mess hahaha.

EXACTLY!

The next scenario, was to recreate something from some century which I cant remember, with a natural makeup look, but we had to re-create these hairstyles that were horrible 😀 I decided to choose one that was a little challenging to try on Nicole’s super long hair! Nightmare! Her hair is so thick and long!

Again EXACTLY!

Clare said she liked the hairstyle aha! We had a good laugh with her and it was nice to get an in site into the industry a little.

We got to leave Lindsay’s lesson an hour early for lunch, so we had a whole 2 hours! Lisa came up with the fab idea about us all going to the pub as we hadn’t been out as a full group since we started in September! So Ashleigh, Lisa, Katie, Nadia, Me, Sophie, Nicole, Lindsay (Liverpool Lindsay), Lauren, Sanita, Jess & Molly Headed to the Woodstock for a well deserved lunch!

Pub Lunch!

 

Love our little uni family, we all get on so well!

Vicky’s and Carl’s were pretty much the same this week, Vicky’s we just caught up on some of our work for our fairy tale assessment, and carl’s was just photo shop & any other crap I decide I want to do hahaha 🙂  I Got photo shop for free on my laptop which I got excited about because I can do all my work from home at my own pace haha.

 

Tuesday 15th March

Sam’s this week was catching up on this Directors assessment that’s coming around soon, we sat down and sorted out all our dates and times and ideas that we had, we had to fill out paper work so Sam knew where we were at. After all that we got to sit down and do a little task where we have to choose a casualty makeup, one of us has to create it with sfx products, the other has to create the wound with home made products and then present it to each other next week, which will be fun and interesting to know what home made products we can use to create stuff!

Our moulds are finally taking shape for Tina!

 

This is what my mould looked like when I came back to it, all the clay had dried and cracked, and the first layer is dry. Next we have to mix up A & B again from last week and then add in this next thing called Thixotropic… which we call tropical juice haha (we know what were taking about 😛 ). This stuff you literally pile all over your mould and then leave again for another 6 hours to go completely solid, ready to be pulled apart next week and cleaned out! this is getting exciting to see what there going look like when there done!

Anyway I’m off to sort my life out haha I have so much work to do this week!

 

Speak soon

Dear Sam…..

 

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 😛 )
