Explore: A new class

I created this blog to explore my creative side, it will feature a range of creative projects as I complete them and whilst in progress. At the moment I'm in a creative slump so I joined this new class run by Shimmile to try and get the juices flowing again.

It started yesterday when we had to make a playbook and take a self portrait - many shops later I ended up with 5 pictures I didn't mind!
For today we had to send ourselves a postcard about an adventure in our life - this could be any adventure not necessarily travelling. I went with my trip to Vietnam 5 years ago, and journalled some of the new things I'd experienced, such as travelling alone; the crowded, motorbike filled streets; Vegetable stacks in spicy tomato soup (oh how I'd love to have this again!) and being able to navigate street maps (a massive weakness as I can never tell which way up the map should be). Randomly this is a trip I have no photos of as my camera got ruined in a flood shortly after I returned!
Plus, it was the trip which kicked me up the arse and sent me off to do my PGCE in a new town, far from the safety of home.


My self portrait


My playbook, todays postcard and the photographs which printed out wrong - I now have to wait till I can get to a proper photo place rather than a self service machine.
