Because I knew you .....

1st pillar on the left is mine

Sorry for that last few  few slap dash blog posts


The last few days the first years have been in paint shop working on marble pillars. One of the girls told me she saw my painting that i painted at the Scenic art summer school before i started the course and thought it was amazing. I remember at the time thinking it was a good first attempt but  over time i see how I would change it to make it so much better. The fact she said that tho gave me such a confidence boost it also reminded me how much i have improved and that now I know  how i would  improve it. Anyway slightly off track there my point being i know Im over critical of what i do and that a lot of the time when something annoys me or I think it doesn't look right thats not always the case (well sometimes it is) Your work generally looks better to other people than yourself.


This week we had a colour mixing class and i have to say quite frankly all 3 of us 2nd years are Rubbish at it! I think at the end tho with the help of a lovely flow chart we were getting it. Gonna make a wee video as well. That will really get it in my brain.


Time to reflect in a sappy manner. Extra cheese but i do mean it.


I have improved. I have gained confidence. I have gained a better work ethic and got my priorities  in order. I have learned new skills and developed on some i already had. I have learned to empathise  and have proved i work well in a team environment and i can see that this is true of my other team members. I could not have done this without the people who have been around me everyday for the past fews  Months. Sappy but true because i knew you i have been changed for good. Picking me up, letting me pick you up. Teaching me a method, telling me your opinion  and listening to mine. working as a team. So a big thanks to my scenic art girls, Gary and jamie and also TPA2 for being there, making this environment so lovely to work in  and putting up with my flaps and self indulgent who ha. It really does mean the world to me. You might not realise it and sometimes i forget it but you have helped me discover my passion.  




Extra cheese but im in the mood  :)  If i like you .. its probably about you.

Wicked: For Good Lyrics

I've heard it said 
That people come into our lives for a reason 
Bringing something we must learn 
And we are led 
To those who help us most to grow 
If we let them 
And we help them in return 
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true 
But I know I'm who I am today 
Because I knew you..Like a comet pulled from orbit 
As it passes a sun 
Like a stream that meets a boulder 
Halfway through the wood 
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? 
But because I knew you 
I have been changed for good 

It well may be 
That we will never meet again 
In this lifetime 
So let me say before we part 
So much of me 
Is made of what I learned from you 
You'll be with me 
Like a handprint on my heart 
And now whatever way our stories end 
I know you have re-written mine 
By being my friend...
