Not much has happened lately, really. My student loan finally came through which I'm so pleased about, so I'm now making proper costume plans for Halloween as I've got a decent enough budget for one. It's very likely that there will be photos of it to come if I remember to take any or if they turn out how I hope, so fingers crossed!

This morning's 'Visual Literacy' lecture was an interesting one. We were originally supposed to be looking at lino cutting and printing, but the shop on campus hadn't received their order of new pieces of lino yet, so we had to completely change our plans. So instead, our tutor disappeared for a few minutes, and came back with A1 sheets of paper and brand new boxes of wax crayons, and we drew each other in practice for a different project we have ongoing. I'd completely forgotten until this point just how great wax crayons are, especially working at that size, and I also discovered that I'm not as terrible at observational portraits as I thought I was. It just goes to show that when things don't go the way you intended, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't get anything good out of it.

Lastly, for this week's feature I've been looking at photography, and I found these beautiful deviations in the 'recently submitted' area of the photography section. Go check them out and give them the love they deserve!
