Finally!

So finally I've come back to my blog. I've been so anti-social lately - it seemed too comfortable. Anyways, this weekend - 4th to the 6th, I'm showcasing my final project work from my narrative course in school (for once I can (and kinda want to) show off my academic work!) with my peers from the same course at *1 Shanti Road* . Will share the invites later today or tomorrow!

So, we had to create alter egos, their lifestyles, characteristics, their stories and create something - anything! So I went beserk and created a character inspired from the 40's - a cabaret singer - with a happily twisted love tale beneath her legs.
Oh! For my course? I designed a dress - decided to jump into character, sing and shoot!

p.s.: Credit post coming up next!

Narrative as Drivers - contd. from the previous post!

Continuing from the last post - my latest for the installation - the prototype for the character(s) and the bags in which the books will be carried.

Although I do apologize for the not so great images (esp. the ones of the bags - for sure will put a better picture up when they are done with the illustrations on them).

I've always enjoyed spending long afternoons with corrugate paper,maida glue (the first ever time I'm using this - my mom suggested it and I couldn't suggest anything better - I'm loving it - I'd heard about this type of home-made glue only from my neighbour who'd claim he'd fix his kites with this magical goo), fabric paints - ooooh the gold and the silver powders and their binding liquids, but surely if it wasn't for the cold mosaic floors, the slowly deteriorating hand and brain co-ordination (yes, yes I am going to blame the *digital* lifestyle a bit) and a bigger room, ohh!!! bejeezers! I'm happy I've logged in my cribs and complaints - boy am I glad I got to do all this fun stuff all day long, and guess what I'm making more of these fellas, and with different emotions - will keep you updated!

Till then, the almost, not-so-confused soul signs off with these images...


The funky jute bags!

The *Grumpy Goo Trunka*



p.s. : the lips, the rest of all the jang bang for the character still need to be worked on, let's hope that by the weekend you get to see 'em all!
