?

Does no one want to write me a story...? I understand it means you taking a few minutes out of our busy schedules but please if you have a tiny bit of spare time just write me a little story.

Does this tell you a story...?

Tell me a story using this image and title("blood, sweat and tears") as your inspiration. It can be as elaborate or as simple as you like just tell me a story...

You can either leave me a story on my blog or email me: kepickering@dundee.ac.uk

Storytelling...

Today we had a storytelling workshop, it was fun but I didn't know how what she got us to do had any relivance to us and our practice. But the traditional element and the project that she is developing "digital storytelling" will hopefully play a big part in my project. I was hoping for a bit more guidence with storytelling, maybe a bit of constructive critiscism. I guess it's how we take it and interpret it, there is no wrong or right.
I want to develop this into my studies as I am interested in memories and memory loss so i'll be working quite closey with the elderly and who are better at telling stories than old people?!

Diamond Prayer

Another couple of jewels that I have knocked up. It's a bit of tongue and cheek regarding religion...and that's all I have to say on the matter...

Diamond love

This is a ring that I am currently in the middle of making. I love it because it is tacky, it's blingy but it also has a nostalgic sentiment with the love heart sweets encased inside. It's a little bit of childhood memrobelia wrapped in a contemporary blingin' way!

Diamonds are Forever

Week Six: Diamonds Are Forever
This is going to be my week six image I think. I was going to do a massive pile of book that I didn't get through (in "READING WEEK") but that was depressing so I thought I'd add this one as I gained a small bit of relief making these diamonds. It was the first time in a long time that I had made something. They are tacky but awesome, all I hope is that with my work people can attach their own stories and make their own memories with my jewellery.

my kind of brand

Again, I am still struggling with the branding excersise that we are to take part in. I'm just not getting it. As with Emily I'm finding it hard to think out of the literal box and put branding as a type of personality check. Even more so I'm finding it difficult to think of a presentation that sums me up. I was hoping to use lyrics throughout my talk but I'm not sure how to go about that so any suggestions are welcome.
Meanwhile, I've been branded six times, all by different tattooists making their mark on my body.
