'Those were our times...'

So I am back at uni now, and slowly getting back into the swing of things.

We have been given our new brief which is quite extensive; it is a live brief where we are working with a company called ICE to produce something linked with their ethics, civil engineering as well as domestic life within Welsh culture.

I've been a bit confused and a bit dubious but I'm starting to get my head round it and get a bit more excited about the possibilities of where I could take this. Particularly when looking at the Welsh culture, I was considering researching traditional Welsh recipes.

A large part of the brief also includes having to incorporate recycled fabrics, which isn’t something I have ever put great focus on in the past but I am looking forward to experimenting with and sourcing the fabrics.

'Your beauty is beyond compare...'

Two more pages from my sketchbook, like I said in my previous post I have been keeping my pages simple and here focused on exploring with different materials and composition.

'I remember every word you said...'

So here are some pages from my sketchbook for 'The Sketchbook Project'. My chosen theme was 'Travel with me' and I explored my wanderlust and dreams of going back to Paris again.

I like doing quite simple, quick drawings using fine liner and that's what I did in the above pages. I kept the sketchbook pages very simple, not over crowding them with information.

'My heart remains the same...'

'Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the world.'

So a while ago I entered 'The Sketchbook Project' and I've only just got round to doing some work in it.

The Sketchbook Project is a great way for your work to get seen, I recommend you check out their website and I will get some images of my work up soon!

'So pretty, so smart, such a waste of a young heart...'

The result of me being slightly bored and yet feeling creative. I have been playing with fabrics making the most simple rosettes, I think the top one with the book page ribbons is my favourite and may make more. I can see them being framed or being on cards - the book pages could be personalized.

'The kiss of the snow...'

So after completeing my digital project I feel inspired to use photoshop and illustrator more. After having a play here is some stuff I came up with.

'Still we sing...'

I had to create 10 final images for my digital project. Here are a few -

Three for a girl.

Seven for a secret never to be told.

Eight for a wish.

Ten for a bird you must not miss.
