Block Printing

Today I have been testing out block printing with wooden stamps and I've fallen in love, I really like the textured effects and the mixed lettering.  The text will sit by my illustrations and will be layered with stitch and other printing techniques and finally printed to create a range of cushions :)

Laser Cut Light - Photographed by Catherine Dineley

I had my light photographed yesterday but Catherine Dineley, the photographer who has done all of the professional photography on my blog.  Catherine has, again, done a really amazing job and I think she has made my light look really amazing :)

Final prep :)

This is definitely one of my favourite pieces of work, I really enjoyed the whole design process - from drawing and designing to having each sheet laser cut and then finally putting the light together myself.  I would really love to do more of this kind of work in the future :)

New Project :)

Ok so Iv started my final project at uni :( really scary stuff but Im really going to make the most of it and enjoy it as much as I can.  When I wrote the brief I set it out to be a really playful and exciting project and think this will be the best way to finish my time at Uni.

Some pics just of my board at uni at the mo, have started drawing this week so should have some things to show you all very soon.  My project is titled "What Makes Britain Great".  Im looking at things such as the Queen, tea, cockney rhyming slang etc.  My favourite idea at the moment is the 'Duke of Wellington' so keep your eyes peeled, I'l be adding pictures very soon. xx
