finished!

oh yes summer is finally here, i'm finished uni until september :) handed all my project in on monday and should hopefully get my marks back for it in my tutorial on tuesday. I am actually quite pleased with it and would have loved to have done a lot more if only there had have been more time, however it's all done and dusted now so it's time to relax in my garden in the sun and 26 degree heat!

here's a couple of photos of how my work was set up for handing in.

coming along nicely

so my final project is going smoothly for once, got all my digital printing done this morning pretty much, only got a few bits and bobs left to print as well as screen print my apron and tea towel. Here's one of my giftwraps, if not my favourite of the collection so far.

neglecting

Sorry i've been neglecting my blog a little, so busy at uni with the current project. I think i've somehow managed to set myself too much work to do, probably because it's our last project of the year and we got to write our proposal for it ourselves. I've decided to attempt to design 3 gift wrapping papers, 3 cards, tags, an apron, tea towel, 6 final illustrations and an artist book... hmm not sure if it's going to happen with only a week and

a couple of days left before hand in.

Anyways here is a card design for someone moving into a new home, i'm not sure what colour to use for the frame around the design so some input would be great :) as well as here are some other designs i've done over the last couple of days.

Just practicing digitally colouring some of my drawings, as that is what i want to do for my final illustrations.

I'm beginning to get the hang of it, not as neat as i want it to be yet though, but practice makes perfect :)

dirty rotten cheater

So here's one of my drawings from my sketchbook for my current project, which I've based on domestic life. Not sure if I like it, but it could work if it's produced digitally :)

Also my two friends from back home are coming to Leeds today for the weekend, going to nandos for the first time ever ha.

p.s.

I need to make this.

Excitement! Myself and my boyfriend may have just landed ourselves a little job through the summer; screen printing for a lady who is starting up a business, not getting any hopes up though until everything is final. It would be pretty good though, getting paid for something we actually like to do. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to get on with some sketchbook work and try and devise a questionnaire to hand out to couples so i can get to know the nitty gritty details of their relationships.

a few bits and bobs...

I found a few photos of drawings from my artist book project and a random print i did of a bear which i intend to print onto some tote bags to sell when i eventually have some spare time, there's also some photos of jewellery i made during my elective before easter.

So i did a jewellery elective before easter at uni and i actually quite enjoyed it even though it involved me using proper tools like a saw haha. Anyways i took a different route and decided to try and bring a bit of textiles into it so i ended up knitting copper wire and also using a bit of string too, i based my whole idea on fishing nets. I'm quite happy with the outcome, the ring being my favourite, and the only piece i'd probably wear.

I have re drawn a picture from my sketchbook for my concept board and added a bit more colour and shading, i quite like it actually for once, anyways after having decided to finally utilise my scanner here it is :)
