The start of something new

I am finding it difficult to come up with a project creative enough that will keep me inspired. I have found that while in China I discovered some new CAiD skills and drawing skills that I am now confident that what ever I design on paper I can recreate in 3D on the computer. I know I want a strong social element tied into my project along with sustainability. Though the idea of an object still can’t capture my attention for a year.

I feel less and less inspired as I left the lower pool studios into upper pool and for me there was something lost. I don’t feel as creative or inspired as I once was. I just don’t want to get to the end of the year feeling I have nothing to show, didn’t learn anything new or it was a waste of time.

Ideas about China

Standing out so significantly in China has had its ups and downs, it is very flattering to be called beautiful as it never said in Australia. The hardest thing though is to loose all privacy and I have struggled at that time and felt utterly embarrassed, my first and only time so far swimming in Foshan universities pool was quite an experience. The only bathers I own are a bikini but I always where board shorts with them. So as I practiced swimming a few laps and the staring still hadn’t stopped I still felt uncomfortable. When I actually started swimming and I noticed very few females in the lap pool, then I noticed that men would literally stop swimming mid lap to have a good stare at me as I swam by, it was so unnerving and men generally stare at woman in their bathers for different reasons.
