☺☺☺GRADUATING EXHIBITION☺☺☺

So, I'VE FINALLY FINISHED TAFE FOREVER WOO and earlier in November was my graduating exhibition! In between building and painting walls, I managed to take some (awful quality/terribly lighted) photos of my installation setup. Initially it was planned to have been set up on a cute table with chairs, but after that plan fell through (and there was lots of stressing + 50 million changes-of-mind) it basically ended up being a picnic, placed on a small low plinth - with artificial grass. Ahhh writing about this brings back confusing recent memories -I had such a love/hate relationship with my grass and the result of that is that it is now pack away in the bottom of my bookshelf, never to see the light of day; mwahaha~

All the food was made from felt and hand sewn - honestly it didn't take as long as people think, probably because I really do enjoy hand sewing things! hehehe! I was quite pleased with how it turned out, I ACTUALLY SOLD THE PINK CAKE! Such a lovely girl bought it (for a high-ish price - everyone told me to sell it for more than I originally thought, so I did) which I'm super thankful for because that money is going to go towards Christmas presents for my beautiful family! :) Also, after listening to everyone who was at opening night, apparently a lot of people were talking about my work! which makes me super super happy!! Anyway, enough rambling (eh that's all I seem to be doing lately!); here are the photos

✿ Recent History ✿

I realized the other day that it has been months since I updated this, mainly because of tafe and the fact that I can't deal with stress or manage my time! So here, is a little bit of what (exciting stuff) has been happening in my life for the past 2 or so months!

TAFE. IS. HELL.

Coffee&Cake ♡

Two weeks ago (wow, it's been ages!) I went on a catch-up/cute coffee date with my best friend, Yvonne! We went to 'The Cupcake Taste' which is a small cupcake place in Graceville & it was so gorgeous! It was also slightly off the main road, making it basically in the perfect place - easy to get to but not in an awful position, quite and not absolutely filled with people like other cafes in more popular suburbs. ♡  

~first round + lots of gossip~

~chai latte~

~chai latte sprinkle-y goodness~

~first cakes - Devonshire & Choc Mint - they were super yum!~

~used up my last two Polaroids (now I need more film), they worked well, I do love the overexposure on them~

~I don't like wafer, but Yvonne does - so it was gently placed in her coffee~

~Second round of coffee & cakes - Rainbow Choc & Vanilla!~

~Yvonne!!~

~Yvonne again!~

~cutest little egg lolly ever, it came on top of my vanilla cupcake!

~vanilla cupcake - nomnomnom~

~Yvonne destroying her musk cupcake~


~I thought my glass was pretty cute~

~fiddling with the focus on my camera - yay for phone cameras~

~half eaten rainbow closeup~

~All gone!~

It was really wonderful to see Yvonne again & catch up! Also, the place wasn't too expensive and the miniature cupcakes were nice - they had a couple of different full sized ones, however they weren't as exciting-looking (everything in miniature is cuter anyway)!

After this, I ended up going shopping with my family and in Kmart I took a couple of quick (and poorly done) outfit photos + details!~
