Inspire Me Stand at Craft, Hobby and Stitch

I had a really good day at the trade fair today with my mum.  We saw some really lovely things - lots of ribbon and beautiful buttons.  I also saw Debbie from Inspire Me Papers and she had put my original heart shape lights up,  their whole stand looked beautiful!! The photo's are taken by my mum who insisted we needed a picture (with me in it) before we left!! 

:)

Just like to thank Debbie and everyone at Inspire Me for all their help and support they have given me in my projects :) you have all been so lovely and I cant thank you enough 

Craft , Hobby and Stitch

Im off to the Craft, Hobby and Stitch show today with my mum, should be a really lovely day - we can be ladies what lunch and walk around exhibition shows trying to look business-y :)

Aaaarrrggghhhh!!! My work is on sale :)

OMG!!!! Just found out today that the work I did while on placement at Graham and Brown, last summer, has been put into production.  The L.O.V.E will be in Marks and Spencer and the London collage will be in JD Williams :)

The L.O.V.E is a hand painted piece and the London Collage has been made using photo's I took and then manipulated on photoshop :)

Glass Etching

I started engraving onto glass today using the laser cutter at uni, Im really really pleased with the outcome.  The pictures above are only my sample pieces,  Im hoping to make a glass lantern and possibly some wall lights :)

Daisy Chain Fairy Lights

I made these lights last weekend for my current Uni project, again with Inspire Me Papers.  I chose to do a spring based project with lovely fresh colours.  There are co-ordinating patterns on their way, as well as another fairy light collection and a lazer cut 'Tord Boontje' style hanging light!! 

All the photography was done by the lovely Catherine Dineley, more of her work can be seen at
