Rabbit Skin Glue

This week has been pretty productive. On Tuesday I had a tutorial with Craig Mulholland. It was very interesting and has given me another slant from which to look at my work. He works a lot with digital art himself and there is a little element of my own work which is digital so he really helped me think about developing that side of it. On Wednesday I was meant to have a tutorial with Sam Ainsley but she was off ill. That gave me the chance to start making preparations for my final project crit coming up this wednesday. Thursday I cracked out the ol' rabbit skin glue (not used it in ages, it stinks!) and started sealing some MDF boards I had. I had to do it in my close though because there was no space to do it in my house. I got some funny looks of a couple of my neighbours hehe.

Then I very very carefully had to replenish the iron oxide in my chalkline (that's what I'm going to use to make my next series of drawings). Me, being so clumsy and iron oxide being super permanent and in powder form is not a good combination! Got some on my floor...so now it is VERY red. Ah well. However, I'm coming down with the cold again! This is the most number of colds I've ever had in the space of a year! So tonight I think I'm going to chill out a wee bit. Might have a bath and a bottle of beer while watching the telly...sounds like heaven!
