This is one big reason why its good to come home....

Morning walks around the cliffs, getting sprayed by the waves due to the high tide.

A little list of discoveries i've made this week...

A tea towel by Anrol designs, i just laughed, i think its brilliant...

'LU FLUX'

I discovered her last week whilst wondering through spitfields market, she has a pop up shop throughout december which just looks so simple and beautiful. She makes her clothes out of recycled fabric. I love her whole concept and how she styles her work just as much as the pieces themselves.

I was in Liberty today and stumbled across a denim brand which i looked up a few weeks ago. They reuse old denim, mush it up and create new jeans. Pricey, but amazing. If you have time you should deffinatly watch this video about there process.

'Collections' is the theme of my christmas project. Christmas projects suck in general, but its quite a good topic. I went to the Horniman Museum, which is quite bazar but amazing, and they have a whole room full of every type of instrument you can imagine, i thought these harps were rather lovely....

I have come to the end of my list, i had to keep myself occupied seeing as i don't have 'sufficient bandwidth' to watch made in chelsea :( x

Since i last posted i've come through 2 weeks of drawing/photoshop and 2 weeks of knitting.

Which have ultimately concluded in me handing all 4 of my projects from this term, in for assessment on friday. So i feel quite liberated right now! 

We had to be very experimental for our knit project, to quote our tutor...

"If you aim for Dior you'll end up with Topshop, But if you aim for Topshop you'll end up with Etam."

Can't really see my work gracing the shelves for any of those labels, i think mines more natural geographic...  but who knows maybe thats next seasons inspiration?!

For our photoshop project we had to make colour charts out of images we took around our local area.

My colour was Green....

 Interestingly, where knit was 'experimental' apparently this project had tight restrictions. My first attempt was the chart bellow, which was wrong - and the chart above was right. I however think the chart bellow is much more interesting.

Colour charts have been and will be a frequent event in my future im lead to believe...

We had to do colour studies on location so hears a couple of photos from v&a, Kew & south bank...

This term has been really full on, but i feel like i've achieved a lot. I forget that not only have i started this course but i've set up home in a new place, joined a new church and explored London. Its been crazy. I realise i've spoken mostly about my course on hear, but over christmas when im back in Wales and have a chance to process whats happened, i'll try and post about other aspects.

Im going home in 9 days!! I can't wait to run on the beach, chill by the xmas tree in my pj's, not have to cook, see friends. Very excited! x
