Extreme Knitting

...Yes, this may sound a bit odd. How can knitting be 'extreme' i hear you cry. Well check out these knits and i hope you will be as impressed as i was!

This knitted ferrari was made by Lauren Porter, a fine art student from my university.
You can see more of her work here.

More spiders.

Since i decided to base my personal project on spiders, i have been stalked. i was followed (by the biggest spider i have EVER seen) from my studio space, down to the cafe, where it joined me for a cuppa tea but i, very rudely and hastily, moved away.

because of my crippling phobia of spiders, i didn't manage to get any photos (and also due to my hysterical screaming and flailing arms).

i dreaded the moment when i was forced to type 'spiders' into google, but here are a couple of drawings...

Wallpaper

Just a quick post, as i am off home for the weekend to see my beloved who's been in China for the past couple of weeks.

But i thought i would just show you my wallpaper i printed recently for a commission for a hospital in Bristol.

If you're a true fan, then you'll probably notice its based on my embroidery project, as this was what i was doing at the time.

The photo's aren't great but hope you like them!

Love is in the air.

Lately, i have noticed a combination of my two most favourite things: Love & Vintage.

I am in a total euphoric state, wandering around the antique shops of Cirencester and the back streets of Bath, with the amount of 'Vintage Love' there is.

Rustic finishing. Full hearts. Swirly, soft type-faces.

Of course, this isen't just limited in antique gift shops. It is now a real trend, filtering into the high street with 'Love' jewellery becoming more and more popular in stores such as asos and Accessorize.

It's official. Im in love with Love.

My current collection. Some little experiments of mine....

An apology.. and some dresses.

Well, it has been a bit too long since my last post so i feel i must apologise. To make matters worse, i would like to excuse myself by saying that i have been swamped with work (which is partly true) but the reality is, i was whisked away for a romantic weekend for the bank holiday.

Anyway, i havent really had anything to report or to post as i have only really been draping on the stand for the past couple of weeks.

But here are some of my favourite images from the work i have produced...
