The finished studio

Here is the finished studio! So lucky to have a designing place for myself. Have an inspiration clip bar above my desk which was a brilliant find in ikea, shelving packed with designing essentials and two bookcases full of books and other materials. My very own design haven.

Final Collection....The Products!

I am currently in talks with a few people about the possibility of producing a selection of pieces from my final collection that i exhibited at New Designers. Here are a selection of my favourites.

Coffee can and saucer decorated with soverign ring motif.

Tea cup and saucer decorated both on the outside and the inside!

No tea party is complete without a cake stand. I love my cake stand which demonstrates my elderly teabags beautifully. Unfortunately this cake stand was damaged when i brought it back from London

I love the colours in this funky cushion!

My favourite tea towel showing a collection of the elderly teabag characters!

Complimentary tea towel using retro inspired shapes and gorgeous colours.

Another retro inspired complimentary tea towel.

These are my favourites and i hope that you like them too! Any comments and questions are welcomed!

Tigerprint Competition

I am starting to make some notes on what i want to do for the 'gifted?' Tigerprint competition , i already have afew fun and quirky ideas (staying true to my design aesthetic!) cant wait to get started. This years 'gifted?' competition is for a christmas brief, either designing a card, cracker, decoration or all three. Deadline is 30th of July....its odd thinking about christmas so early on in the year! x

The results.....

Got my results today and i am now the proud owner of a Ba (Hons) with a 2:1 degree! Pat on the back for me i think!
I promise the next things i post will be design related!
p.s the 'studio' is being plastered as i type! eek very exciting!

Today i will be the proud owner of a Ba(Hons).....

Today i am going back to college to collect my results! I am excited but nervous having worked really hard over the past three years everything comes down to this. Wish me luck every one! x

My studio......

Here are a few snap shots from the development of my studio! I am so excited to get in there and start creating!

For some reason my studio space seems to have accumalated several chairs! Cant wait to move everything in there, paint it and put up some pictures! Iv always wanted a little studio haven just for me. Now i just need to save up my pennies and find an organisation where i can apply for a grant to help with the start up costs of producing my final collection for the boutiques and online stores that have shown interest, any suggestions would be welcomed!

Busy little designing bee....

Hello, sorry that i havent blogged (hope this is the right terminology!) in a week. I have been so busy trying to sort everything out and follow up contacts made at New Designers. I've been trying to juggle my part time job and organising myself in preparation for my little production line that is in the pipeline.
Sorting out my bedroom/studio has been a massive job just in itself but im finally getting there with it, this is just a temporary fixture as my lovely and exceptionally supportive family are changing the garage into a studio for me, and i can not wait to get in there and get going!
Keep you posted on that and show you the transformation from garage dumping ground to studio extravaganza!
