PAPERSELF Eyelashes

These amaaazing PAPERSELF Eyelashes are cut from paper, were designed by Ting yu Wang, and come in several gorgeous designs. Apparently they can be re-worn like regular false lashes, but feel free to correct me on this. My personal favourites are the Small Deer & Butterfly, which sell for £10.50 + shipping (approximately NZ$34.95 with shipping included). So they're rather pricey for false lashes by my standards but definitely look to be worth the money, considering they'd be reserved for very special occasions (you shouldn't ask me which special occasions, because the only answer I have is 'posing for ridiculous self-portraits in my own home'). Tempting. Very tempting.

Portraits

These are probably my favourite two portraits of myself and Charlie that I have done. They are just pencil on crappy sketchbook paper, but I really like them. They are a bit beat up from moving house, and are currently taped on the wall above my art desk. They were both done in 2009, but I haven't posted them on here before.

Day 6, 7 & 8 of 30

I've been useless at keeping up to date with this self-set challenge! I had a busy weekend, and have just been feeling really lazy and uninspired... sitting down to do artwork feels like a big chore, I end up rushing, and the results are less than desirable. Hopefully things will settle down later in the week. Our flights are now booked for our trip to Australia in November, so I'm mega excited! And after I finish this post, Charlie and I will be watching E1 of Dexter S5, which I have been dying with excitement over for months now. Without further ado...

• Your favourite hot drink
• Your earliest childhood memory

My favourite hot drink is a Mojo Coffee flat white. If I'm forced to get a flat white from anywhere else, I usually add a shot of hazelnut syrup, so that if their coffee is shit then it's still drinkable!

The childhood memory I consider to be my earliest is more of a feeling than a memory. I remember drawing a colourful rainbow, houses and a bear over two pages of my story writing exercise book at primary school. I remember running out of time to get the actual story written, and having the most horrible fear of my teacher coming to see my story and getting angry at me. I don't remember getting told off about it, so either I was worrying about nothing, or the teacher went so apeshit that I've suppressed the memory...

This is totally gorgeous. Head over to Bianca Chang's website to see a video of the construction of this "A" paper sculpture. She hand cuts each sheet of paper. Amazing.
