the mad-header,

so, i changed my header :DD

it's a digital version of the original work completed for IB visual arts.

Breathing Black/Breath in Black

29.5 x 28.1 cms

graphite, ink + finepoint pen on Saunders watercolour paper

description (didactic): I was cleaning out my art shelf to see if I could find any good paper that I hadn’t used yet. I found one with ink splatters on one that I had around when I was using batik (ink and wax). My original plan was to have the “Alice” character blowing out smoke (reminiscent of the chapter, Advice From The Caterpillar), but it looked more like she was coughing, which still works quite well. The text is a quote from the chapter The Pool Of Tears, the work is a cross between the chapters The Pool Of Tears and Advice From The Caterpillar.

hope you like it :D 

and then... a blog was born,

hi there

Welcome to my first blog! (and that's me ^ right ther) :DD

Though it probably isn't the best idea to begin a blog two weeks before final IB exams >< 

Anywho, 

This is short and brief, but kinda feeling obliged to write something - anything :) so for now, hi! and, hopefully I won't grow bored of this and stop blogging - as it was pretty much a spur of the moment type thing,

(but you can call me maddie)
