Three weeks to go. Three long, horrendous stress filled weeks.

Then freeeeeeedom!

Anyhoo that’s why I haven’t been writing on here much, brain overload and basically by the time I have sat here and finished uni stuff my eyeballs are seriously falling out of their sockets. Well I made the prototype for the BDSM book project and did a presentation on Wednesday and it went spectacularly well. I had a class of a good 25 students wide eyed and very curious to see some of the content pages. A few asked questions and many were simply intrigued. Not one of them looked shocked or freaked out so I must have done a good job. Basically the aim of my book project is to portray something that is not seen in the general media, it’s not about the sexual aspect or the pornographic aspects so often seen but the emotional aspects, the love, the empowerment and the fun BDSM can be. The real people in the kink culture and not the posers and the bullshit. It wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for all the wonderful souls who have contributed images and writing as well, those parts are what has made the book special. I am so damn grateful.

So anyhooo this is the prototype …

The final will be black, with silver eyelets for the corset lacing, the lacing will be red and the stitching/binding will be red instead of white, the front flaps will be a silver material with black  patterning with the black strips on the edges. Heh and the coptic binding (the stitching of the book) I learnt off youtube. ‘beams’

So yeah that’s one project.

I am doing six papers atm so this is one of them. Two others are drawing … LOTS. One is photography, 100 photos (NOT shitty ones) a week, plus finals. An A1 Information design poster from a whole pile of boring statistical crap that we have to make look awesome and interesting, and a interactive digital design in pdf format.

I love my mum, it’s school holidays right now and she took my little one for the week to give me some time and space to get through some work, I got the little guy back tonight and we were both busting at the seams to see each other. He was so excited to see me as his first baby tooth came out while he was at Nan’s and he was gloating about the Tooth Dragon giving him $5 for his first tooth.

I decided when he was a little wee dude that he’s a boy and as much as I love fairy’s a boy should have something fantastic to take his baby teeth away so we have the Tooth Dragon. Tooth Dragon’s love bones, and they love baby teeth the best! So if your tooth falls out you put it under your pillow and the Tooth Dragon visits while you are dreaming and leaves a shiny under your pillow to say thank you for the yummy treat. Apparently he reckons he saw the Tooth Dragon hovering above him and was quite happy about that. He’s also told me Tooth Dragons are weeny and not very scary. LOL !!

So there’s been cuddles and squishy hugs, stories, fantastical tales and sloppy cheek kisses and he’s now snoring happily in my bed while I type away on this thing. Tomorrow morning is a mad rush on the train back to uni to grab (hopefully) a pile of art gear I left behind today in a rush to get home and see the little dude.

I will be mighty pissed if someone has picked up my gear and walked off with it

Hmm what else? Oh!

Carrie Ann the wonderful woman is sending me a very funky toy that looks like a rocket! I’ll be reviewing it on the blog because it looks freekin awesome and I’ll also be trying something different and sussing out a costume, if it fits and it’s all good I’ll even wear it to an upcoming fetish event and you will get photos
