Photos of work

Going to update blog next week with more/better photographs of close ups and details of my work, for those who wanted pictures at the show!

Fashion Embroidery and Stitch Show

Got the train to Birmingham yesterday and arrived at dinner time to start setting up my stand!!! You can see the progress from the images here, took a while to position everything before I could start hammering.. Glad I had masking tape! Just got a few more sequins to hammer into the wall before the show opens at 9.30!!!

Indigo Paris 2012

So excited for Paris next Monday! I have been asked to go to the trade show with the Amanda Kelly Design Studio to help assist selling the gorgeous prints and embellishments on their stand. It's going to be quite a long and busy few days but I'm hoping to learn a lot and see what trends are selling!
Will also be nice to visit my universities stand there and see a few of my old tutors!

New Digital Designs...

I have started to build up a collection of more commercial digital designs, to strengthen my portfolio. I am most comfortable drawing by hand and then scanning these into Photoshop, then editing and creating compositions or repeats, but I have started to find other ways to design by using my IPad to draw onto, or just scanning in ink textures or shapes then adding colour with brushes on Photoshop, this allows me to create a wider range of designs.

This is a part of a design I did today, using sketches of flowers and adding the colours on Photoshop.
