Been doing lots of fun creative stuff recently. No less than 3 drawings finished in 1 week! (That's pretty good for me considering it usually takes me 2 weeks to do just one. I'm slow!). And was also shooting yesterday with rootofsilence for HMS Latex, a really cool shoot where I got to do all my own ideas. I've been trying to do more shoots where I get a lot of input on styling and direction recently, as it's been a little while! I guess I do get to play around with my own ideas for lots of the art nude stuff I do too, but after a month or two of only nude shoots I start getting the urge to play dress-up again!

I was rather pleased with the outcome of one of these shoots I did a couple of weeks ago, I just got the images back and totally love them :) I did all my own styling (wardrobe, hair and makeup). Though credit must go to the photographer for the cool shiny background :D

Photography by Mike Tucker, shot at Coombe Cottage Studios (which is also where I was shooting yesterday actually, it's really close to my house!). (coombe_cottage)

Hurrah shiny!

I seem to have reverted back to my usual weird unrecognisable accent now. I noticed when I was visiting my parents in Newcastle I slipped straight away back into a strong Northern accent and slang. I don't usually do it conciously, but I felt this time like I was deliberately making my accent stronger when I was with my extended family. I can't decide why. I think it's almost a defensive thing, "I'm still one of you so don't question me" type thing. Kind of interesting (to me anyway!).
