The past months

Its been over for a few months now and it was hard to get used to at first. Excited to be home but despratly missing my Southern califonia life. My mind set proably made worse by the greay weather and the stone i put on from the wonders of american ood.
It. I miss being in L.a even tho its crazy to think its only been  weeks since portfolio review, classes and my old life. It was so hard saying goodbye to my friends and teachers. It was hard saying goodbye to the bubble that was Calarts. I arrived back in scotland and I have no ideal what i need to do. So i decided to keep focused and i did.

On arriving back i began work on my personal project i wanted to learn how to use the spray gun as well as usign some U.V paint so decided to paint a wee jelly fish picture. Im not gonna lie i foudn it really hard to get the hang of it and avoided my hardest to start painting it but now i just want finish it! Feeling like i am finaly getting the hang of it!

As well as painting the Gellys (As i like to call them) I was also working on the final few weeks of hansel and gretal the opera. It  was fab design and worked really well. The props department had a ball.

So now its the summer and im at School everyday. First few days painting Sunday in the Park with george  our Summer show and now doing some of drama works as a paid technical assistant. God i want a hoildays! Also been doing a work at a sushi resteraunt and a few days painting for the assembally rooms.

Trying to keep my motivation going Ihave managed to arrnage placments for myslef August and September at Scottish Opera and Pitchlochery. I Guess i know i need a break but i also want to keep trucking for the time being.

So a wee quick less work realted chat. Keeping busy sicne i came back has been important trying to forget the lack of sunshine. There has been gym days, cinema trips, Coffes, drinks, Graduation balls, Engagement partys, Family Vists the list gose on. Anyway hopefully i will be able to explain them all in more deatil but for now its time to go do some more work .. ewww
