What do you think?


Right, OK! Im putting this out to all you lovely people who view my blog! If there are any!....

Basically, here and there, I have been creating these hand-made crochet necklaces, shown below, and I was thinking that maybe I should start thinking about selling some? 

What do you think?

I need to build up my stock of them obviously as I have really only done a few for gifts and other such things, but then began thinking whether I would be able to make any money out of them! The necklace chains are vintage, ones that I have bought from a charity shop or car boot fairs, and the colour and styles can be so easily changed if I played around with them.....all well made of course!

Any ideas on price of sale would be great! OR perhaps you may know someone who has a market stall in London that would be willing to give them a trial run in the Summer? If you could let me know that would be great! 

Now to do some reasearch.....









Ooooops and again! I'm such a 'Basket' case....

Again a drawing from Nassar' class of a basket from the islamic culture...


Some I forgot...

Here are some paper manipulations of the work I created in the class for Nassar. I first printed out some of my photoshopped work ad began cutting and creating new designs, allowing the 'metamorphosis' from old to new to take place....

My own little Paris book.......











Studio Dessin....

This was one of my drawing classes. I tried to link it somehow to my 'Metamorphosis' project and focused on disfigured faces. Our theme in the studio was a mythological story of which I used folk tales on Giants from Cornwall. I then took this idea a little further by manipulating and place these 'faces' into landscapes and creating my own little story for the image.....







Some quick sketches of my flat mates, and a random old man on the RER who had a really interesting face, to 'loosen up' my drawing.......







IMPRESSION - ACTUALITE......

These are my print samples from the 'Urban Riseau' drawings I showed before. I did feel a little rush and uninspired from my chosen design however, I do quite like the simplicity of the black and white prints, the devore, and the repeated and layered coloured line prints.....
