Summer achivements

Orkney a great environment to grow up and be artistic in!
A few friends and i had a small exhibition over the summer, something to motivate us to get stuck in and creative! We had a great time together and hope to do it again!

Just surfing about the web and i found a few images that i really like... Maybe i can work from them into something my own... Possibly!

Loving the strange hair jewelery!!

Spending my time well! WOOOOT

Knit

Just a few images from my sketchbook for Knit, i hope you like them! Final product not quite there yet but soon!!

I think my final look will be a thin vest/dress... I think... ;)

It feel like im wearing noting at all!

Really super cool way of showing some clothing going on here!

Dem Bonez!

On my lovely time in New Zealand i always admired these bone hair ties, but never got one. Not really sure why i didn't i really wanted them! I every colour size and shape!! But the time has passed and i am no longer there so what better than to get my crafty side a shout!

simple AND great!!

All you need if Fimo!!!! And an oven.

Mold, model and shape

Lovely blue bone! (that's what she said...?)

I did burn them a bit, i think because i have a gas oven. Maybe!

Was thinking of my lovely friend Jeff LETS GET OUR CRAFT ON!!! <3

Sweet Street Art

As i am always thinking about now things i could do for print, textiles and design i thought this would be a cool way to start some sort of thinking on a print. I know its been done many times but what hasn't!!!? so Here we are bright colours and cool design! The way forward! ;)

Just need to make it happen! Get off you ass and dance!

Watch this space!

After an email From a close friend i am really feeling the groove around space images!! Want to make my own epic textiles and everything with the space as my theme... Im thinking! IM THINKING!!

Dinner time

Made some epic almost like Korean food! YUM!

Kim Chi for the win!

(just dont look at the cans of beer.... ;))

(Chinese)Fortune was; You have to cross the deepest valleys to reach the highest mountains

Its getting close to the end of my Knit project and im just enjoying colouring my samples to see what works best! Loving the rainbow effect i have managed to create. Wish the blue could be darker, i will learn from my mistakes! ;)

Me just being silly in the lab all alone!

Scottish Gallery of Modern Art

A word of advice!

It says 'Everything is going to be alright' if you cant read it.

I feel this is good advice for anyone!

WHAT! This is Child's play!

Making a start to all the good memory's i have of my home town!

Hiding places and bright colours that i feel have inspired my work.

The small one is of the Stromness Hotel, not only do i work there but i feel it is a noticeable landmark in Stromness.

Clockwise is the Old Life boat shed that is now Scapa scupa, always loved playing on the slips that lead to the sea and love the vibrant colours of that shed!

The last one is of my good friend Rose's shed and slip. Many a moment having fun running around on the pier!

Although not done i hope you like them!

Getting sporty with it!

Ready to run!

Really liking they way my casual sports wear came out, zippy top keeping you warm whilst you wait to race on the track or just looking cool on the street! The trousers made with extra zips at the side of the pockets for easy use!

Dark Woods

Cool In The Woods

The evening dress i made for my pattern experimentation class! Dip dyed jersey material hangs nicely! I think my design makes for a lovely evening dress!

Ink blood

Dip dyed oversize T-shirt dress

This fabric was on off cut from one of the projects and i though i would make a T-shirt, then this T-shirt turned out to be long enough to be a dress! Good times!

Skeleton

My rib cage T-shirt!

I made this T-shirt for a party and i think that the lovely Rosalind makes it look lovely and grunge! Dark and groovy!!
