ninth Artefact lesson (:

Today i was really panicing through the week beacause i couldnt find anyone to model for me but luckly Melissa stepped in and saved the day (: We got her all dressed up and made up ready for taking the pictures i was worried that the pictures wouldnt come out so i took two pictures of the same shot just incase. They where going really well then i remembered that i was forgeting that i needed someone to stand in the background and look scary. I went on a hunt looking for people but nearly everyone was really busy with their own work but James was free for a little while and helped us with the last shots. He stood in the background looking scary then he helped me smash the glass bottle and set it up around melissa when she was laying on the floor and then we added red food colouring to make it look like there was blood. It looked really convincing and quite scary. The last shot i took about 10 of because it is the shot that i needed to scratch the writing into and i needed spares just incase i went wrong on one of them. I stayed in over break to develop my film and have it drying while i tryed to work out how i was going to make my rose. I was aloud to use a sheet of metal like i wanted to make the rose and then i had to start to make templates of the petals and cut them out this was hard work and I kept scratching myself on the metal. After i had cut out all the petals i had to try and work out how i was going to put them all together. I could see how i wanted it in my head but it was alot harder to do it. I tryed about 4 differnt methods and in the end i was doing well with threding it onto thin wire and layering it. It looked like a flower but not exactly a rose but it was still progress.
Next lesson i have alot to do. I need to finish my rose print and mount my pictures and paint the peom onto my grave stone and i only have till 12 so im going to have to work really hard if im going to get it all done in time.
