Printy printy!

 

Action Stations!

So...still haven't managed to put any pics of my earrings up on Etsy yet, it started snowing and the light is TERRIBLE! Managed to start drawing out some ideas for a logo though (as you can see above, I've been getting printy printy!) Me and Wilse are going with a simple strawberry design, and will hopefully have it done by the weekend!

Managed to sort loads of things out though, got rid of loads of stuff out of the basement on Manchester Freecycle - a lovely lass by the name of Rachael Willis came over to pick up an old beanbag for craft projects, and some lads came over for some random vinyl posters that were sat in the basement for months who are going to make them into wallets! It's so nice to see everyones recycling and crafting :) Also popped into Hope Direct again and got loads of vintage-y frames for drawings, and some red Converse for £2! Bargain!

I'm also starting to do some monoprinting under the influence of Wilson...it's really fun and you get lovely effects. I'm using a lot of the motifs I drew in my first year, inspired by organic forms/doileys/erotica. Will try to keep it up, as I have always thought it could have some longevity. I want to merge them in with more folk inspired patterns, and incorporate a bit more watercolour into them, inspired by folky embroidery?! Anyway, we shall see.

 

Also popped into Venture Arts today to see if they needed any volunteers, and now I am helping them out every Tuesday afternoon with art & craft projects, which I am really chuffed about! I think its going to be really fun helping out and meeting people, it looked like they were starting some really cool projects based on the Antony Gormley statue in Manchester City Galleries to go into a V.A. exhibition at the Lowry Centre.

Bed now, blimming tours in the morning which I haven't revised!

PS: Sorry for sh*te photos, been using my phone camera for the purpose of laziness!
