Weekend wonders...

Along came saturday and thereofre a day with the mother. What we seem to do most saturday mornings is go down to our local boot sale and see what treasures we can find about. I have struck lucky many times before finding some awesome things...

My vintage style typwriter <3
Sewing bits <3

And this week i found an adorable vintage bag, and got it for just £2! I love this little thing...























Also, randomly found an old lace making kit! Never tryed it before but thought it could be something interesting to attempt, so i will try it out sometime over the summer once college is finished for the year...i'll keep you updated!

After the boot sale and a lovely lunch with the mother we may have gone to a couple of shops where i may have accidently bought a few things...but i loved them so i couldnt help it!

Booootiful grey boots [on sale!] <3

A 'DAY' of print...

COLLEGE TRIP...
Destination - Luciene Day exhibition at Pallent House Gallery in Chichester.

Along with my fellow fashion students i went along to our local gallery to check out the Robin and Luciene Day exhibition. The work there was amazing, i mean i've seen her work many times before as images but to see it in person makes then that much more amazing.
Images to come soon....

Life in Paper...

Here we go again...another new project.
This time it's independent, therefore we can choose what ever topic we like. I had no idea what to choose when we were told about he project so thought i would just get ready for the project by preparing a sketchbook for it. I came a cross and old music book whilst hunting the charity shops, fell in love with it and was struck by inspiration for my topic. So now i have a project topic; Music.

Updates to come soon......

Much love.

[Skull love.]

For my natural order project I have to create a 2 metre by 1 metre length of printed fabric, I have been experimenting with different print techniques and have settled on silk screen printing to use on my final piece. This is my silk screen design that I drew up...


I am keeping a simple colour palat for my wrok and will be printing this design with a basic grey/green colour onto white cotton. I have decided to encorperate a large skull image into my work and am going to topstitch this onto my fabric on the right hand side of my design. With this i am going to work into the skull with differetn techniques including applique and couching as well as using beading and buttons as surfact details. Heres some images of the making process....

[Images to be added later my dears...sorry I'm on the wrong computer!]

Much love
