Life don't make any sense to me....

I've got my things packed, my favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag, climb out the window
All the pictures and pain, I've left behind
All the freedom and fame, I've gotta find

And I wonder, how long it will take them
To notice that I'm gone
And I wonder, how far it'll take me

To run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, this life makes no sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me

I was just trying to be myself, have it your way, I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away

Well, I'm too young to be taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe all this hypocrisy
And I wonder, how long it will take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder

If I was a mistake, I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead

Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away

It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away

I could sing for change on a Paris street
Be a red light dancer in New Orleans
I could start again to the family
I could change my name, come and go as I please

In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you, wasn't it you
Wasn't it you that made me run away

I was just trying to be myself, have it your way I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
Hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
Never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away

It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me

This life makes no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Life don't make any sense to me



Well this song makes total sense to me, i feel really down all of a sudden :( I need something new in my life but where to find this new thing, hmm god knows! If anyone could help me then please do...
I think the main problem is men!!! Bloody men they annoy me SO much, they want one thing one minute and something different in the next minute...sooo i give up!! well ive had a moan! Bed time :)

Toile Diary












4) Here is the final outcome of my feather and t-shirt, i am very pleased with the outcome and the way all the embroidery threads fall on the t-shirt. I did not have any problems during the process of making my embellishment for my t-shirt. As i had previously sampled this on my planning page in my sketchbook.

3) I then began to thread my embroidery tassels. I achieved this by looping the embroidery thread around a knitted stitch and knotting to keep it secure.

PROBLEM,
Too clustered and i feel it would benefit another neon colour being introduced.

2) I used interfacing to stiffen the base of the knitted feather shape, ready to machine stitch the stem on using a zig-zag stitch using a domestic sewing machine. You can clearly see in the image above the green zig-zag stitch in the center of the feather.

Toile Diary

1)
To achieve this shape i increased my stitches by one stitch on every line to widen the shape of the feather. When i hit the middle of the pattern i started to decrease my stitches by one on every row. This gave me the desired shape.


PROBLEM,

I did not like the shape of the feather sample because it was not as i desired, to rectify this i folded the edges under and hand stay stitched to create my desired shape.





Shrink plastic sample

Here i have sampled with shrink plastic, the base of plastic was shaped to a feather and i then used a special hairdryer to shrink it. I then cut long small pieces of the plastic to fill the base of the feather, which have curled and twisted which give a great effect. This was very experimental however i would of had difficulty attaching it to the shirt and the outcome in this case was not apt for what i was after.
