work review

so yesterday i had a review of all the work ive done in the third year (pretty scary!)
but it went really well and it turns out, rather than having one big collection... it looks like im going to have lots of little ones... so theres something for everyone!
after my review (which lasted over an hour), i went through every single sample and pinned up my favourites.

now all ive got to do... is make them into cushions!

new samples.

here are some of the new samples ive done this week...

ceramics.

so in preparation for my degree show, ive started experimenting with ceramics. i needed a way to creatively get my illustrations into the show space and i thought printing them onto ceramics might be a good way to go.
i dont think theyre too bad for first attempts?
p.s. sorry the pictures are a bit dark, my studio space is so gloomy sometimes :(

did you know...

grizzly bears do not like to get their ears wet!
i didn't know this either but david attenborough informed me the other day and i believe everything that man says!
this is a drawing of an 'um-bear-ella'... get it?

bison.

he is finally finished! he certainly took a while but he was worth it!

another new addition...

i may have a slight addiction...
this is bernard. i made him to keep bertie company.

intarsia cushion

my first cushion is finally done! it's not going to appear in the final show (as the colours are pretty awful) so it was just a little tester. it is pretty snuggly though!

a new edition...

this is bertie. he is my new friend & he keeps me company at my desk :)

more dyeing....

these are my most recent colours... and hopefully they will be my final ones!

happy birthday to me!

last saturday was my birthday (yep, 21 on the 21st!) and my amazing housemates bought me lots of donna wilson goodies! i have loved donna wilsons work for ages and now i am the proud owner of 'wolfie'...

...& this is wolfie!
