Pretty productive day.



City project starting to take place in my book! My recordings, findings and travels all here on this very page.


The teacup are back again! But this time with a vintage collaged map. Not only is it beautiful and vintage but it best displays the theme of city and travelling!


Sneaky peek of a paper map bunting. Is that bunnies ears I can see?


WHY NOT! I will do this to my own set of stairs one day. Wallpaper the steps! Each step is another journey unto itself.

Visually anyway.


Here we go with this times artist of beautiful illustrations who goes by the name of Charlotte Farmer. Vintage teacups, yummy cupcakes and the cutest of spoons. Her delicacy of illustration is what initially drew me to her work. 


Here I've drawn captured images of people, windows and cushion! All created with a continuous line and appliquéd papers, wrapping paper and maps. My reasons for selecting this type of drawing line is because the free will of line reminds me of free motion stitching like on a sewing machine. A potential textile technique later for development??

Talk about killing two birds with one stone.



Speaking of birds..



Charlotte Farmers bird illustrations are absolutely amaze balls. I decided to cut out varied compositions of birds to allow the page under neath to show through in a nice way that best reflects her style of working.

Crafty.


Ali Ferguson! A different style of artist who creates collaged designs of materials, stitching, ribbons, buttons, measuring tape! I've played around with the same style to display her work, stitched materials, crochet, lace and a cute cute CUTE luggage tag.

Watch this space!
