Graduation!!

This past year I also Graduated from my course Fashion Textiles Enterprise (BA Hons) which is definitely one of my bigger achievements.. so thought I would share a few snap shots with you guys... :)

Traveling..

So this past Summer, I have been very fortunate to have a couple of holidays with my nearest and dearest..
My first destination was Egypt. Although I loved the time i got to spend with my two best mates, and the many random hilarious events that followed from landing in the country.. I'm not so sure I would go back again. (But that's my opinion).



One amazing day that we did spent in Egypt was on the Red Sea. We took a trip on what was called the "Lazy Boat Trip" which was by far my favourite day. On board you were able to snorkel at 4-5 different areas of the water.. and got to see the corals and wide variety of exotic fish that lived among these waters.

My love for Everything Geisha!

Here is the final piece that I made, modelled by myself. One of my favourite dresses! Hope you like it.. x





So back when I was completing my main project for my Textile A level, I chose to look into the Japanese Geisha. As I started researching my love and interest for these beauties spiraled.. There were many inspirations i chose to look at, but one that caught my attention and captivated my imagination the most was the Spring/Summer 2007 Couture collection from John Galliano. Absolutely Stunning!!

Beyond The Rabbit Hole..

So i know that the whole Alice in Wonderland thing is getting a bit old now.. but I still love it! I am constantly being inspired and drawn to anything 'Wonderland'. So heres a collection of luxury wallpapers by Arte's, a series of beautiful metallic papers. The patterns and colour variations in this collection are truly beautiful, and capture the essence of wonderland well. This collection is named Metal x Glass.. x

Hand Painted French Screen

So here is the main addition to my collection of Enchanted Bloom! This is my hand painted french screen which took hours of work, but I think has turned out just how I hoped. It creates the key theme perfectly, and the atmosphere and mood it conjures up when viewed is just beautiful.. Hope you like it.. x

Hand Made Decorative Coat Hangers

Two of my Hand made coat hangers.. thought they were very quirky and beautiful. x

Enchanted Bloom - Range of Cushions..

Hey guys so heres a few pics of the selection of cushions I made for my FMP Project titled - Enchanted Bloom.
Inspiration was taken from vintage florals, combined with dream like 'Wonderland' imagery. A clash of modern mixed with Authentic French fabrics to create a compilation of textures and techniques throughout..
Hope you enjoy.. there is more to come.. x

All in Bloom..

Whilst collecting research for my FMP project which i named - Enchanted Bloom - I started to collect primary research which for me was mostly visual. I visited the Southsea Rose and Rock Gardens and was lucky enough to capture some beautiful imagery of flowers all of which were in full bloom.. take a look..

So here's some of my photography work.. (I like to dabble in most things art based)

Been super busy.. sorry guys!

Sooo sorry I haven't been able to update in a while. I have been super busy with my final year FMP Project. It totally consumed my life over the past couple of months! ..But now I'm back!

So I will be showing you all the lovely work I have been working so hard on.. coming very soon!

But first i want to show you some of my past work which i completed over the past couple of years and some even through my A Levels, thought it was worth showing..

I have also met with Kevin Dean who is a great inspiration to me. He is a freelance artist/designer...
