An origami love story

My Exhibition at the Holiday Inn Hotel

LOVE NOTES - An Origami Love Story

This work consisted of 18 Painting varying in sizes, mostly in black and white with hints of pale blue. The idea came from some love notes I recieved and some origami I was researching including some origami love hearts. The exhibition was on the walls in both the bar and the restaurant areas.

Me taking some pictures on my phone

Flowers/cabbages

I couldn't help but buy a few flowers from the cutest little flower shop the other day. I just loved the orange berries an then I saw the cabbage type flowers and added a few almost starry packed greenery to finish it off.

Although I must say they don't smell the best :(

For the vase I just used an old jar and sprayed painted it then wrapped around some pearl beading. The colours look better in real life x

Then in the evening we spontaneous went to see the killers who were playing at the AECC 2 minutes from my house... Yaaaaah for the spare tickets that were being sold outside. It was an amazing gig!!!!!!

It seemed the lightening theme followed me and the killers had lightening on stage and also floating from the ceiling, a great ending to a lovely day!!!

 

It was a magical day and I'm especially thankful to my lovely boyfriend who made it all happen x x x
