I've been accumulating the amount of hand pictures I own as the week goes..

I have also being trying to develop my idea of hand movement into something else..

I was looking at the bone structure and the veins in the hand and realised that the veins in your hand very much so looks like a tree.

So I went about and made these out of paper

My initial plan was to put the tree inside a structure that represented the hand, but then I was given advise by the tutors that I should keep my thought from jumping about the place so I moved onto something else..

It just so happen to be that my self portrait was due in soon so I got that out of my way first.

I also drew a lady out of scribbles in pencil.. Intend on doing something more to this but not quite sure what yet..

Doing different things to my hand to get interesting images.

Wrapping multi-colored wire around my hand..

hand prints..

I also went about taking pictures of more people's hands doing different things..

So, this is what I have done so far.

1st week, as we were introduced to the program and how it's going to be I created a mind map and I have now narrowed it down to 3 topics that I am going to pick out from.

Hand movement,

Lunar movement,

and Movement in out brain..

As I thought these topics through, I have now decided to work on the Movement in human hands that holds its own meaning.

As a part of the project, the first thing I did was to go and take pictures of people's hands. In particular I was interested in hands playing instruments at first.

This weekend, I also was collecting some more pictures of hands in between my weekend job.

Playing around; my cat and my dog.

I'm starting to realise how much of a disadvantage it is not to own a laptop and to have internet in my accommodation..
I'm going to post what i have done during the week this weekend at home. Hopefully I'll have time to write a long constructed post in between work.

Monday again

It was my granny's 80th birthday party on Saturday. Sadly i forgot my camera but the cake was lovely and it seemed like she had a nice time.
Came down to limerick at 9:30 on Sunday like very other week. Today I'm going to ask one of my housemates to let me trace the outline of their whole body when i get back home.. Experimentation's going to be fun! hopefully the result will be interesting.

Last couple of days

Wednesday, Cliona made us yummy dinner and i baked a fail of a banana bread. Did a couple of sketches of interestingly positioned hand.
Thursday, party at the next door apartment. Apparently there was "Egg and fudge all over the place". Full body movement will be what i will be working on for now, quite excited to get started, have to ask someone to let me draw them. Also, wish the lady upstairs will give up on the heels at least when she's at home in her room..
Today, went back to lovely Galway, it's funny how relaxed i am around town compared to when i'm in Limerick.. Home sweet home, good to see all my lovelies and my mum's home cooking! :)

Well..

I don't quite get this blog business but I guess i just have to go and learn it the heard way. My blog looks pretty bad. In the library looking up things now, wander when the free €5 print credit's going to be given to us, I don't have a credit card so it's bit of a bother to me. I can't keep scabbing off Bridget.
