work in progress....




I also tried out another workshop called 'sandblasting'. This process was really fun to do, you basically draw your design and use special tape on a piece of glass, metal or ceramic.... You then put your design in the sandblasting machine-blast it and then peel the tape off....you are then left with your design.

I decided to play around with different fonts to make up an image of a bird using the letter 'Bird'... I really like using lettering in my work

Southsea deckchairs



As part of my course i have to find work outside of my university, such as doing some design work for a company. I approached a deckchair company and they have asked me to make a instruction manual for how to 'assemble' a small deck chair. So i basically need to do some illustrations on a post card size card....These are some photos taken by me of the deck chair i need to do instructions for...

I decided to make some hand made paper by using beads, paint and gems. On top on the paper i decided to mono print illustrations of different bird bones, similar to the sewing i did...

im really interested in the bones that build up a bird, i decided to do a series of sewing illustrations showing them....



Inspiration came from the Natural History Museum
