New blog.

2 weeks ago I started an internship at The Makery in Bath. Being in my 3rd year of my degree, I decided to explore the textiles world outside of University. It's been a lot of fun already and to document my time and events during the internship, I have dedicate a blog to it... www.mynewship.blogspot.com

New academic year. New ideas. New research.

Stumbling across Emma's blog lead to me finding these funky nail art designs, perfect for my Aztec inspired research!

As I had an afternoon to spare, I thought I'd try my hand at cake decorating. As I enjoy making cupcakes, using fondant icing to create unique decorations seemed like a jolly good idea, a jolly good idea that proved to be a little trickier then anticipated, but a lot of fun too!

Drawing from real life...

...is quite difficult when your drawing subject is bumble bees. Using my macro setting on my camera, I managed to get close to this little bee who was enjoying the sunshine in my garden.

My welcome distraction.

The very tame Robin we have flying around work, surprised us all with this little cutie. I was happy to take some time out to sneak up on him and take a few snaps.

After months of planning, our Walcot Chapel exhibition was a great sucess! All 10 of us deserve a pat on the back for the hard work we put in. The private view night was fantastic, the drinks were flowing and so were the compliments about our work, a very big thank you to everyone who came and supported us!

Here's some photographs that were taken of my work in the exhibition. I am pleased I exhibited this piece and now need to motivation to keep it going. At 12ft long it's already quite a long piece, but I aim to get it around 20ft long ready for it to be displayed in the American Museum, Bath, in May!
