Paleokastritsa & Lakones Village

Here are a few photos taken in in and around Paleokastritsa as well as Lakones Village that I thought I would still post about after a long delay (oops).

Anyway hope you enjoy x

 

Final Major Project - Inspiration and Primary Research

 

For my final project at college we had to write our own brief and choose a theme, so I chose to do 'Growth and Decay in Nature' because I felt there would be a lot of different elements to my theme which I could explore and design from.
My silver spray painted sheep skull which my uncle gave to me (not your typical 18th birthday present but I'd been after a decorative skull for my room for aaaages and I absolutely love it) proved to be the first object I photographed as a starting point for the project. I then took a series of photos from inside the conservatory in the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield of any plants that were in the process of blooming or decay which I found interesting - focusing on shapes and textures. I also had a look around Weston Park museum to see if I could find any animal skeletons/bones, however I hardly ended up taking any photos and the ones I did take I wasn't pleased with so didn't include them.

Wandering around St. Ives

St Ives has to be my all time favourite English seaside town, it really is a beautiful place - everywhere you look is picture perfect, and although I've already posted photos of it last year (see post), I couldn't resist taking a few more this time around.

 It started out a gorgeous day but even when it began to rain it didn't dampen the spirits of the band playing in the street who everyone stopped to watch and I really wish I knew what they were called because they were so good, aw maaan :-(
