blisters and adventures.

So today was the COFA (College of the Fine Arts) Spring Fair - it was great, well what i saw of it anyway. Due to my bad sense of direction and horrible management with time i was late and managed to get me and Claire on the wrong bus, thus having to walk through and try to find our ways through the inner back streets of Wollarah/Paddington and make it onto Oxford Street. 
We can both confidently say that we're never getting lost together again, team for disaster but a few blisters on my behalf and a lot of "i hate you for getting us lost's" we made it there and left Vanessa to fend for herself for the hour or so we were overtime; also both of us having no credit made it extremely difficult to find Vanessa and spent majority of the time doing that.
The stalls were selling such amazing little cute things and i wish that i could have stopped to really have a browse through and take a tour instead of us 3 relying upon our own direction to make our way around the school which didnt prove so effective.

HOW AMAZING IS THIS PAINTING, i'm really in love.


I'd also like to thank Melanie Boreham who is a student at COFA currently doing her Masters degree for showing us her workspace and letting us a little bit into her world, although artists' secrets are never revealed haha; also the following pictures from Melanies workspace are taken by Vanessa- check out her blog The Monday Issue (they even have their own song- special, ahah)

After this, I was due to meet Alisha at Bondi Junction to head to Sandringham Hotel in Newtown to see her boyfriend's band play - Pixilated Pirates, check it out and head to a gig the live shows are so good.

ALSO! the reason i was late to meet Claire was because i got sidetracked in Vinnies (thrift store) and bought two new pairs of shoes, so excited.
welcome to the family.
i'm thinking of putting some studding on the boots but have to sort out composition and such first
