Calico painting: Project 4

Ink & collage on calico, 1 metre square. This is a final outcome from a brief 'Secrets and Lies'.

Going Visual with it & questionnaire: FMP (final major project)

Some more quick snapshots from my sketchbook. These pages are all about some quick visual responses to my research I have been collecting. Whether that meant collecting, images, colours or textures. 

Also been looking at the answers to the questionnaire that I set up online. Some really interesting answers to get me thinking!

Final Major Project: Educating myself about home

 Lots & lots & lots of reading to begin my project.

Educating myself as to what is a 'home'.

 Researched travellers, refugee camps, communes and squatters, 

in order to broaden my mind and to move away from my own ideas of what a home is.

 I've enjoyed reading but the next challenge will be taking these ideas into something visual.

Life Drawing in Stitch

Scanning in a bit of olf work and came across these. 30 second sketchs from a life drawing session, which I then attacked with a bit of stitch.

Scrap Book: Visiting Presents

I've started a scrap book for a friend I am visiting this weekend. Putting things in it that I think she would love and leaving blank bits to be filled with her scribbles.

I've put in cuttings from magazine's, beautiful photography, texture paper, lined paper and plain paper. I hope it inspires her.

Watery moments: Photography

 I was searching through some of my old files and stumbled across these photos.

They were taken along a river in Somerset, July 2010. The colours, textures and patterns in them are really beautiful. They are very peacful and gentle. It was a nice suprise finding these!

3 Pencils: Crafty Bags

Back to work again after the Easter break. Nothing makes me feel more like an art student than these bags, that I've been designing and making. I am using one of them to carry my A3 sketchbook in this morning (it is crazy how hard it is trying to find a bag big enough for an A3 sketchbook!)
