Rose Hill Designs

I'm currently interning for the lovely Rose Hill Designs, a newly established brand creating patterned artworks, notebooks, gift cards, dresses and bespoke commissions. 

Rose recently took part in her first trade fair, featuring has part of Spotted at Top Drawer, London, alongside 12 other hand picked design business's, chosen for their quality and originality. 

I was lucky enough to help Rose at Top Drawer, having only visited trade fairs before and never shown my own work at one, (with the exception of new designers) it was an eye opening experience. A year ago I was touring the trade fairs on the hunt for inspiration for my third year, and this year I find myself on the other side of the stall.

pretty snaps

I've been back for a few weeks now, the sadness of being back in cold rainy England is slightly wearing off and the time to blog again is upon me! Before I delve into what I've been up, here are some pretty snaps I took while away, hopefully some will inspire me and help me to remember what the sun looks like!!

New designers

So last week was new designers, where I got to show some of my work alongside lots of other wonderful graduates of 2013 at the Islington design centre. 

It was so exciting to be picked to do this and a lovely way to end my degree. Really great to get to see the work of so many uni students who do similar courses to myself, the work was all such high quality, it was a tad overwhelming, but nice to think these are the people I'll hopefully get to work alongside in the years to come. 

Below are some pictures of how I displayed my work, and LCC's space. 

Tiger print invited me along to one of their creative sessions, me and three other girls had an hour to create a circus themed photo, below is what we came up with.... (photo from tiger prints instagram, tigerprinters)

Arts thread

With new designers coming up next week I've been spending my time attempting to make my arts thread, I think its just about done. Check it out here - emily chapman arts thread

degree exhibition photos

taking down the postcards

Today, worryingly I think might be the last time I head into LCC, well at least for now. Our show closed on Saturday so it was time to take down our work, pack it up and trek home,  slightly resembling a pack horse. It felt really sad taking down my postcard wall, so naturally I took loads of pictures, and thankfully it was a lot quicker taking them down than it was putting them up. 

Despite this show coming down, I got some lovely news in getting the opportunity to show at new designers. Alongside not only some of my course mates but other university's from across the country. My course is taking part in part 1 of new designers,  from the 26th- 29th June, for more information check out their website - new designers. eeee i'm hoping this will be a fun couple of days. 

bye-bye lcc, i'll miss you <3

bye-bye postcard wall, i shall miss you too

friends, fam, private view and more tea...

So the past 10 days since our final hand in has been pretty busy, we've had our friends and family day, the private view and the exhibition has been open to the public. 

I cant believe its all over already, the last week, let alone third year has just flown by.

 Some lovely ones came to the friends and family day...

you can never have enough tea

gap knome

Saw a collection of these little guys in gaps window display on my walk home today, reminded me of my knome's. 

a summer garden party... exhibition

This week our exhibition has gone up, ready for marking and our private view. Heres some photos of how putting it all up progressed, woooo. 

Time for tea!

I have spent today (among other things) decorating a giant teacup with daisies...

Dotting more I's

I've found myself getting in quite a few flaps over the past few days, its certainly safe to say I have third year brain! Today unexpectedly things seem to have come together a tad more though, for one a brought myself a giant tea-cup which has filled me with happiness. I've also got an idea in my head of how I want to present my show, which has lifted a weight off my shoulders... hopefully it all works out okiees.... below are some of my test layouts for my postcards. 

above is a ball of hedge which im hoping to hang from the ceiling, with some knitted flowers.
