moleskine notebooks

This week i've been working on some crafty treats to go in the online shop for 'the crafty badger'

Here are some of the notebooks i've made, i took a photograph of my lovely little dogs face and worked with stencil and spray paint to create some fun notebooks, more to come soon!

History is coming!

(had to remove the last two images as publishing the competition entries with the logos on is not permitted, sorry!)

A building hoarding i designed for the V&A, done in 6 sections so you can see the detail clearly within the hoarding. The concept follows the women in line outside the V&A from the 1850s which is when The Great Exhibition was held from which the fundings helped establish the V&A in the same decade. It follows the women through the decades, showing the surrounding area 'Albertopolis' various buildings appear when they were established along the timeline, with various methods of transport and other things which affected London but keeping it closely connected with the area. The blank women in between are for the public to get involved with the hoarding, be a part of the line and have their photo taken. Get in line, history is coming!

A little trip to London

For a brief im working on at uni involving the V&A me and my boyfriend decided to take a few days out and get over to London, what with valentines heading our way we fixed it so we got to spend the day in London doing research for me and general valentinesy things too!

first stop was the V&A i got all my photos taken and notes written and we had a look inside, a little annoying that the hollywood costume exhibition had just ended and the david bowie one had not yet started. Then we went on over to hyde park and rode bikes through it, it was such a lovely sunny day too which made it even more fun, we hopped off and got some dinner at our favourite place, yo sushi! We went over to Brick Lane so Jake could check out a gallery he is exhibiting at in june, then we had some yummy cake in a lovely independent cinema. We had no time to see a movie there but i bet it would of been fantastic! After stocking up on cake and tea we went over to The Tate Modern which was great, another shame that the lichtenstein exhibition wasn't on yet though. As we were leaving it had started to go dark so we crossed the bridge and took in all the sights which was really nice in the dark! Last stop was tea at Giraffe and a few strawberry ciders.

did you get up to anything exciting?

Forgotten Days

A selection of photographs from a recent project at uni. My collection of greetings cards complete with envelopes and wrapping paper aimed at forgotten days, the times when if like me you are a stationery addict and want an excuse to send a card but its nobodys birthday. They are each complete with lovely little sayings about meeting and catching up (some even with extra treats inside). My personal favourite is the 'lets catch up over coffee' maybe because i am partial to a good brew. I will be sending them off for competition very soon, wish me luck, but if nothing comes of it i think i will start selling and sending them to my lovely friends.

Deck the Paws Santa Claws

A little late with this but i wanted to share with you the christmas cards i worked on before christmas, and gave to friends and family everywhere. The image on the card is my version of my dogs face, surprising how many people that received a card noticed her on it, she is now famous all over the country. Making greetings cards is a little hobby of mine!
