Anxious to get to India!

So recently I have been reading Kimia Kline's blog Alkeemi, which is about her experience as an artist moving from America to Chennai, India. Her photography is amazing, and really captures the beautiful people and sights around India - it makes me so anxious to go there already!

These following photographs are from this post, about her trip with her husband to Jaipur, Rajasthan (in India). I am in awe of the beautiful architecture and colour palates!

Can't wait to begin documenting my own experiences in Kolkata when I shift there in February for a year!!

Knitting!!!


These are a few samples I whipped up one afternoon at uni, as part of my 'Outside the Box' assignment.
My colour palate is inspired by Katie-Maree Cole's collection, 'Bonnie, Be Good.'
The fair-isle patterning is inspired by the previous part of the project, where I used microbiology, bacteria, and agar plates to develop textures and patterns.
These samples were knitted on the Shima Seiki that we are learning to use - so much fun!

I am currently basking in the sun that has shown itself from behind the greedy clouds, between the hungry rain showers that have been consuming Auckland City. I am feeling thoroughly inspired to write my essay on the controversial fashion advertising of the brand Benetton, by the photographer Oliviero Toscani, after a good research stint into their campaigns.

I am also contemplating whether I will participate in my flat-mate's presenting assignment, where they require me to go onto their 'show' live, and show a short demonstration of how to DIY a small stuffed owl - one of the ones I have started to make many of. I am not the most confident public speaker, so I am unsure if I am ready to do this.
