gold card print

This is my gold card print that I did to try and give a feeling of movement, I think it has worked quite well and gives a feeling of the spinning top moving around. To make this more exciting I could add text or play around with different colours on photo shop.

It's Hanna ... again.

It's not my turn to blog ... so sue me. I just thought i'd drop in a little picture for funsies. Tis a sample of something i'm working on.

Sparklers + long exposure + dad who can write backwards = tadaa.

I have done quite a bit on my new project since my last blog. This is a negative of my front cover, I used a spirograph to make the shapes.

 these are a few of my stick and ink images of a spinning top in motion

I then took photos of my spinning top using mirrors and different settings.

I then took loads of photos at the fireworks display I went to in Woking. I took all these photos on a low shutter speed and really like the one of the sparkler and bonfire but I don't think the ones of the fireworks are as good. I have loooads more but won't upload them all.

Hey, Hanna here. Haven't blogged for a while ... oops. So here we are on the spinning tops project. One week in, it's started with a bang. Fireworks weekend. I've taken some photos of fireworks and people playing with sparklers. I'm approaching this 'spinning' aspect by portraying the motion and movement with lights. I got myself some light up spin tops ...

... had my friends play with sparklers ...

(more to be downloaded)

... and found some other pretty light up spinning things ...

... went to dinner with some friends and a lot of glowsticks and came back with this rather attractive work of art ...

... and played spin the bottle ... in the dark  ;)

And now I really hope the college printer is working again!!!

Lucinda here again :)

Was suppose to blog yesterday on the blog rota but totally forgot so I'm blogging now!.


Well we all had to do the presentation on Tuesday to the 'Dragons' (five very scary people!).I was pretty nervous but wanted to get it out of the way quickly. Halfway through I started to relax a bit thankfully and I think it went better then I thought it was going to go.

Now we have started a new project on Spinning Tops. Can't say I'm to excited about this project but the second half with the Umbrellas seem more exciting even though I would prefer not to model the umbrella!

So far I havent actually liked any of my drawings I've done but I like this image below that I made using a Spirograph. I inverted this image on the printer and here is what it looks like. (this is A3 but my scanner is A4)

I then made this into a collage and another one of my images into one aswell.

 I think I am going to add to these maybe with the sewing machine or with some more collage.


 I also went to a firework display on Wednesday and here a few of my favourite photos.

Heyy...I tried taking photos of the spinning top in movement, i didnt have much success as my camera is awful :) but i like the photo below just because of the colours :):)
