Degree show

All done!

Four years at university and I've completed my final hand in. A whole year went into developing this project and it's taken different turns over the semesters. I've explored lace, texture and many different areas in my work.

Here is all my boards set up and ready for the degree show and marking.

All done!

However I plan on to keep going on with this blog and you'll be hearing more from me and my little projects for now. First, though a nice break and job searching needs to be done.

New Layout and Plans

My new layout - this makes me extremely happy to see! I updated this yesterday, and it is a brought layout, not made by myself, but an etsy product (I'm happy to give out the etsy stores name to anyone who asks)- I choose to buy one as I plan to continue this blog after university, as a hobby. 

Blogging is something I've really come to enjoy, even though its small, and needs development to bring in more ideas and articles for my audience here. This blog has changed over the years and I want to continue seeing it grow.

I'm hoping it will encourage me to show off my work and little projects more in the future. The confidence boost will help me to continue working. I never show off my work to it's full advantage nor do I show it off very often.

This is my old layout - I'm not sure why I picked a teal and lots of blue, but it worked for me at the time Though the background art is ruined if you try to use a wider template. That was kind of restricting and this layout was not very creative of me. It's not too simple, thats not the problem with this old layout but it didn't have all the thought and planning it could have had. The colour was too cold and the white background was too much. However, I have never been a fan of coloured backgrounds for text.

Next I plan on sharing some of my weave patterns and the doodles for my boards. 

I'm hoping this will help develop my ideas and the layout I want to create, and possibly

 the theme too.

Blog that I love

Here's a blog that I have come to love through this project - hooked blog.

I've found great photos of work and graffiti artists of all kinds, with different styles and work in different areas. It's been a good resource to look at work around the world and is a good read.

It's given me a view of the events that go on world wide as well as artists and their work.
It talks about graffiti as though its art - describing murals and art to exhibit. A lot of work seems to be commissioned work.

Videos of work and interviews are often used to inform people of the work going on. Giving us insight to these artists work, in general and the pieces we can see them create, through the photographs from the blog.

This is something that has been a help in my work - allowing me to see the 'canvas' during and after the works creation. This has included some studio created pieces - e.g. canvases and illustrations (including screen printing) for exhibition work.

There's often a focus on London and Berlin due to the areas for graffiti - legal or otherwise and the events supporting the artists. Due to a lot of graffiti areas and events in pockets of cities a community has grown around them and more space is dedicated and made available to graffiti artists.

Giving our cities more colour and art.

Warp done

Took longer that it should have - which is only my own fault. But it is now done, and ready to weave.

Now to get busy and just do that.

I have plenty of patterns ready and I really want to use that PVC for my first 

sample. I am thinking of creating 1 m long samples, which I am hoping will 

look great. First though I need to test some of these patterns I have drawn. 

I won;t be spending to long doing this but it's worth while to get  myself 

prepared and work out any mistakes and issues to sort in these patterns 

before I try weaving any samples.
