Kew Gardens

Several weeks ago I was asked to design some floral inspired prints, so I saw this has the perfect excuse to take a trip to Kew Gardens in search of some botanical inspiration! 

Below are a few of my favourites, I was on a bright colour hunt, but sadly I think I was a bit too late in the summer for a lot of the flowers. I also wandered around Kew's botanical gallery, I hadn't done this before and I'm really glad I did, filled floor to ceiling with beautifully detailed paintings, photography is not aloud the gallery and I don't think a photo would quite to it justice, but its certainly worth a visit if your a fan of florals.

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

Time for tea!
