A long time has passed...
...and a lot has happened! I haven't kept up to date recently, must do more as always! Here are a few selections of the things I have been up to. I took photos of my friends dogs for his new house (Oakley and Poppy) gorgeous chocolate Labrador and Dalmatian. I went to a Minecraft themed party and knitted some little characters for the birthday boys. I took many a floating photo with varying degrees of success trying to imitate the work of yowayowacamera.com an amazing blog of beautiful photos! Keeping up with the old HDR and also recording myself in my sleep to be made into a possible piece of art. Hear some of the results at http://soundcloud.com/stacey_allen1 Phew! Exhibition news on the way too, I have been a busy bee!

Photography experiments
Did a little bike ride to Meridan and took a few photos along the way - a thinly veiled excuse to keep stopping so I didn't look like a weakling up them thar hills. More HDR photos for you (my addiction continues) I also wanted to try out a couple of stereoscopic photos. These are photos taken in quick succession from different viewpoints that, when viewed together, give a 3D image. You look a bit odd when taking them as you do a little photography squat and lunge to either side to take each photo, if you do this with your bike helmet on as well, be prepared for some strange looks.
To see the double images open them up so they are bigger and then cross your eyes. ***disclaimer: don't go blind now*** The Midlands shall be revealed in glorious 3D! They have turned out better than I thought they would. Next I should probably find more interesting subjects but when your legs have turned to jelly from bike riding and various artistic lunges, all thoughts are channelled into finding creative ways to keep upright.

Scarf designs
A few designs for some fabric scarves I entered into a little competition (didn't win though) It would be a shame not to show them off! Created on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

Another cake creation! Anyone I know with a birthday coming up expect this format, this cake mould is going nowhere!

Make Do and Mend hits Brighton
I performed Make Do and Mend for the third time with Katherine Johnson on Saturday night at The Basement in Brighton. We were one of the many acts performing at the "Supper Cub" night which included art performance, music and poetry. Our slot was for an hour and a half where we frantically tried to fix the mess the audience had made-the Brighton audience certainly did not hold back on the map destroying! Our washing line of wet maps were at the top of the amphitheater which took a lot of exertion to climb up to the top and do our duty. The line of destroyed maps started to look like rows of frayed bunting, quite apt in the run up to the Royal Wedding but also another layer of meaning that runs through the piece of damage and repair. All in all a good night, excellent venue for our work and a great platform for artists or anyone involved in the creative scene. We even managed to enjoy the weather and have a little paddle in the sea!
