OOOLALACLICKME.

i made this today

we have been set a short film project for the next few weeks of uni to experiment with different media and ways of showing people what we do digitally. the first film had to be something about me, so i decided to show my reasons for buying second hand clothing. i also wanted to show off my forever growing jumper collection :)





thank you to the amazing joey everett for filming it for me.
he's pretty fab.

slow textile design

this term i have focued my project around the slow textile design movement. making everything by hand, painting, stitching, embellishing and lino printing fabrics and interiors. my visual research was the charleston farmhouse interior and works by the bloomsbury group and vanessa bell.
my final product was a multi use fabric for interiors all hand painted and stitched. i don't feel like the photos i have taken do it justice, so here are a few close up shots...

hello!

i have finally returned to my blog after last week's final uni hand in and spending the week decluttering my bedroom... a very late, overdue spring clean.

now everything is a little less cluttered and deadlines are gone (kind of) i can get back to making and blogging :)
