Goodbye Minor Project!
For the past 9 weeks i have been hard at work for my minor project for uni. For this project i chose the theme of "Britain is Beautiful" which i will also be carrying through to my Final Major Project! i am so passionate about our lovely country and love trying to portray this in to my own work, with the intention to inspire others. I wanted to capture the essence of beauty and warmth for the viewer to perceive in their own individual way and to simply put a smile on their face.
Here is the final collection displayed in my work bay ready to be marked!
I focused mainly on scarves and handkerchiefs and the potential outcome for such fashion accessories, and the different ways they can me interpreted!
The collection will eventually be available for sale, so stay in the loop and keep an eye out for my future products! :)

Asia Adventure
This summer has been one of new and old adventures!
I was lucky enough to revisit Hand & Lock, an established embroidery company in London, who i spent a month with last summer! I loved seeing familiar and new faces at this lovely and friendly company and once again learnt an awful lot!
Thanks Hand & Lock!
But for my latest adventure three friends and myself set off for south east Asia for a month, travelling around Thailand, Vietnam and Laos! This is a new continent for me to explore and i couldn't wait to get absorbed in to a new culture.
These beautiful and incredible countries were each such unique experiences, and i couldn't have had a more amazing time. Each country has such a different feel, with its own fascinating history and such warm and friendly locals, but having so many similarities, making it feel like a new start everywhere we went and yet always so easy to feel right at home. And don't get me started on the food! (drooling as we speak...)
But there's no better way to describe these amazing places than through the power or sight, so here are a few images that i hope will inspire you as much as they inspire me.

I LOVE POST!
Over the past few weeks i have been eagerly awaiting some very exciting post; my first printed works on paper and fabric!
I have of course used digital printing at university, but this summer i thought i would branch out and find a company who i trust to print my work for me!
I have some fabric on its way that i will turn in to scarves, but today my paper designs came, suitable (potentially...) for either wrapping paper, or wall paper!
Not my regular floral style, but here is my first printed paper design...
If you are interested in printing some of your own work off, i definitely recommend the Services of Spoonflower!
You can check out what they have to offer here: http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome
Can't WAIT to share with you how my scarves turn out! How jolly exciting!

Welcome, Sunshine!
What lovely weather we have been having lately! And how very inspiring it is too!
Over the past week i have been enjoying the sunshine immensely, and have been soaking up all the sun and all its glory around the lovely Sussex!
All this beauty around me has given me the urge to paint again, and to snap up lots of pictures everywhere i go!
Here are a few moments that i couldnt pass by:
I hope you too, are enjoying the summer!
