Valentine's Day Card

New thank you cards

African prints

The final copies of my African screen print. I have done one copy in the original colours and one in the inversion of colours, so the opposite colour on the colour wheel.

Works in progress

I'm working on screenprinting a picture from my African trip. Its a photograph of 3 Masai warriors. I am doing it with a mixture of paper stencils and photographic transfers. The project we are working on is "exploring colour" so i am looking at the colour wheel and printint in the opposite of the original colour...meaning I have to do double paper cuts! It is a work in progress, final stages will be completed next week so have a peek back then!

London Fashion Weekend Daks A/W 2012-13

I went to London Fashion Weekend on the 21st September to watch the Daks fashion show. We were shown a preview to the Daks Autumn Winter 2012-13 collection.

The Daks fashion show consisted of wide trousers and large overcoats. This is the first time I have seen a Daks fashion show and designer Sheila McKain-Ward did not disappoint. Quilts, pleats, tweeds and checks. Sheila McKain-Ward worked to a theme of architecture, geometry and landscapes. And she continued the brand's signature simplicity and sense of Britishness. She used a coffee coloured palatte with a later splash of red. My favourite piece was this jacket that the presenter was wearing:

The fashion show was then presented and here are some of my favourites:
