lets go camping

The sun finally seems to be coming out and staying out, to an extent! This has made me very happy has my project is based on summer, and without sunshine its slightly harder to get into that mind set. yay sunshine. These are some of the prints i've been working on this week. 

Sad Raspberries

Today was my first day of third term, we now have 6 weeks of printing to go before our end of year show, and the rest of our lives. I feel a bit sad about this, it's kinda scary. 

Here are some raspberries to make it all better...

Tate Liverpool: Sylvia Sleigh

I've just come back from a couple of days visiting Liverpool, and I'm slightly in love with the accent. While there I went to the Tate Liverpool, completing my Tate collection and I'm now able to proudly say I've visited all four, yay! Tate had an exhibition on by the artist Sylvia Sleigh, whom I wasn't aware of previously. I wasn't sure at first if I liked her works, but after walking around the gallery my opinion was totally in her favour, they're amazing. Not only are the paintings brilliant, but each one is packed with patterns and colour. Below are a few of my favourites. 

Claudia Pearson

I first came across Claudia Pearon's work last year, a recent post on print and patterns blog re-aquainted me with her and how much I love her style. It's starting to make me think do I want to design fabric patterns or do I want to do more illustration based designs. eeek last week of the easter break begins today and then were into our last ever term. where has it gone.

just taking my bear for a walk...

Still on a hunt for inspiration for my project, i've been cutting and sticking. 

why blog?!'

This is my first ever post on my first ever blog. So why blog? I'm coming to the end of my final year in a Surface Design degree in a few months, yesterday I got my first marks back which will count towards my final grade. Suddenly the fear hit me. I realised third year makes me scared. This blog Im hoping will get my bum focused on my final project, and not on the what if I fail? what if I picked the wrong degree? what i am going to do with the rest of my life!?
