I bought eight postcards whilst in Crete. I chose pictures from various places in Greece as they were all really beautiful, picturesque and colourful. I would really like to create a colour pallet of the colours used so i can use them for reference when doing work later on. Furthermore, the postcards capture the beauty of Greece but not every single place looks like that so i like the idea of creating similar postcards but instead of more run down areas for comparison.
These few objects here are memoirs that came from the trip that i thought i could use in my work. The blue band was for all inclusive at the hotel, the paper bag was from a local shop where i bought some of the postcards and lastly a small piece from a dried up plant i found. I have another branch but it did fall apart a little. I brought it home with me as i found it similar to a plant i saw growing on the side of some roads. I like the white colour as it looks unnatural for a plant which is usually associated with green as living. The texture is hard and i like the shape of the spikes on the head.
Lastly, my dad and i collected some pottery pieces. My dad has always picked up pieces of pottery or objects he finds that are old, especially when walking around old ruins. We collected three handles, about five older pieces of broken pottery as they have softer edges from being worn down. Eight newer pottery pieces, a few had some patterns on them and i thought i could use them in my work, incorporate the colours, patterns and shapes.
Lastly, a shell, a fishing led weight and two stones that i thought had interesting markings and colours as one looked crystallised and the other one was very smooth with some markings like lines.
