Aywen.

Hello everyone!
I'm being so lazy when it comes to blogging I know but its the fact that my life is filled with college and work right now.  I'm getting ready to go to work in an hour so I decided why not update my blog.
I started my project already and had to move straight to making my final piece cause of lack of time! .
Yesterday my friend from college gave me her dog to look after for about a week.  Its 6 months old alaskan malamute and he's so beautiful!!!!  A little bit naughty but luckily I can deal with dogs ;D
 Last night we went for a walk before it got dark and as soon as we left the house it started to rain as hell! but we carried on walking,  it wasn't that nice when we came back home and Aywen was wet and I had to clean him but oh well!
and his fur is soooo soft ! I love it!


isn't he lovely?

Horses.

Hello everyone!  I've been working on my sketchbook over few days and I feel like I've improved when it comes to sketchbook ideas, layering and so on. I've used 60 years old book I've found in my garage as my sketchbook, it looks amazing! I've always used plain white sketchbooks when doing my projects so a bit of a change is good right?
Anyways i totally forgot that when me and my friend were walking back to my house the other day we took pictures with horses!  I'm afraid of them as I had accident when I was a child so I was pretty freaking out when my friend told me to stroke their big heads a little, in the end I defeated my fear and did it!
Horses are such a beautiful creatures!

 this one was funny! haha
  one on the left had blue eyes !! so pretty!!!

Ombre Hair

As a woman i like to make changes when my life is in bad place or when I need to get over someone and best way to do it is definitely changing hairstyle ! Yesterday i went to superdrugs and bought L'oreal Perfect Blonde creme and I did ombre hair!  As i was considering doing it for long time i finally got guts to do it , I was pretty freaked out as my hair is so dark that if i bleach it i will end up with orange/coppery  hair but after repeating the process for 4 (!!!) times it came out exactly how i wanted it! I love it!  Ombre hair is loveeeeeeeeee !

So as I said before i done it myself, and i have to say its really easy thing to do, you just bleach the tips of your hair , you can get so many different tones it all depends on how long you leave the bleach on your hair, and of course you have to do it in few steps like for eg. i did it in 4 as my hair was really dark, i took 2-3 cm of hair and bleached it than i added another 2 cm and bleached it again and than another 2-3 cm and so on and so on. Its important that each time you shorten the time of leaving dye on your hair because you want it look like you have gradient on your hair.  I also added some on my fringe because i wanted it to look like I've got some huge roots going on haha ! But you can do it however you want it to look like, for eg you can add some highlights to it as well, I've seen some youtube videos where girls did that, or if you have blonde hair you can add some brown dye onto it to create reverse-ombre look.
Of course your hair is gonna need extra care after bleaching and the texture of it will definitely be dry,  weak and rough. You can buy a toner to make the brassiness of it go away but I'm not gonna do it now as I don't want my hair to be more destroyed as it is, I mean, I expected my hair to fall out and be really dry but as a surprise its kinda fine, a bit dry but not that much maybe its the conditioner that came with the bleach I bought or the bleach itself , I remember when I was about 15 I dyed my hair all blonde and the texture was so awful ! ,My hair broke and were super dry, didn't had any shine but I used different bleach.
Make sure to use aluminium foil to wrap your hair because it makes the dye heat up and keeps bleach from drying ! 

Anywayyysss I really love the look, its something different from plain dark brown hair I used to have!
Here are some pics:

i know i may repeat myself but OMBRE HAIR IS LOVEEEEEEEE!

hello!

Hello to all of my readers! I know I didn't said a word after the post about my exhibition and went away with no sign of life and I'm truly sorry ! Its just I was so hyper about the summer that I totally forgot about my blog, which is bad but oh well. And as you can see I actually never post over summer, I don't even know why I do that but I like to have a bit of a break from everything over summer. Unfortunately my summer wasn't that good at all, I had so many problems and I'm still trying to get myself out of it mentally even so they are over. It supposed to be 180* different, I planned my summer totally different but with my luck everything turned to be just some kind of a mistake!  I lost so much and if i would came back to the UK after just one week of being in Poland my summer could have turned out pretty great, how bad I cant turn back the time and correct it, but we all learn from our mistakes right? so no more Poland for me for loooong time I don't even wanna go there in near future . Its funny when i look at it now how everything can be destroyed by one move, pretty sad but i need to get over it and get myself sorted out! .

Ok so I started my second year of National Diploma and its gonna be sooo hard this year, for eg. last year we had up to 3 months to finish off one project, right now we've got only 1 month which is not enough time, so what I need to do is manage my time even tighter than before. Its all because of portfolio building and all of this Uni stuff we need to get done . So I've got new project which is a group project , I'm gonna kinda collaborate with one photography student and 2 graphics students.  I need to create accessory  and this time I can get my own idea of the theme and I've chosen paper & volume. I never work with paper and my tutor was complaining about that a lot last year so I'm gonna give it a go this time.. this is exciting for me as its something new and i've got some nice ideas in my mind !
