Well after travling all the way to B'ham to see the "made in the Middle" craft exhibition, only to find it closed so me and my boyfriend went to the nature park instead , was defiantly worth it!
I am Currently a University student, studying for a degree in drawing and applied arts. I use a contemporary mix of functional design and fine art, drawing influence from classical artists and culture. I also love coffee.

Busy, Busy, Day
So today i Have washed and dried 5kg of alpaca wool ready to be sold hopefully to textile and fashion students at my university, and also on my Etsy.
Annnddd i cleaned up my metal domes that I cast yesterday, these are for my university project where im making a 3 part spherical, terrarium. You can see here the dome in the foreground which i've filed down the most of the rough patches and the dome behind hasn't been worked on yet. still need a lot more work on them and hopefully the next 6 casts will result in a product which does not need as much cleaning up afterwards.

I was searching for artist to do a presentation on for university, when i came across a artist i briefly looked at during college, i remember taking "ted muehling a portrait by don freeman" out from the college library and loving every piece of his work in there! as you can probably tell his work is very nature based and organic, heres a few of my favorite pieces:
New blog and New Life!
I’ve started to experiment with terrariums! and after just a few days my seeds have already started peeking through the top of the soil! fast little buggers! I cant remember what seeds these were, some kind a small flower i think, will be making this a closed terrarium when they have grown a little more!
