Pinterest

We all know... Pinterest is addictive!
I could spend hours on end scrolling through ideas and inspirations and creating boards with the hopes of, one day, doing a bit of DIY and making some beautiful somethings out of nothings!

You can find me on Pinterest here.

I have a board of my illustrations on there as well as others that inspire me.

Give me a follow and I'll take a look at your page too!

Project: Promotional Materials

Promotional Materials runs along side our Final Major Project.

I am choosing to use nature materials for my promotional work.

Here are some pieces of inspiration...



Practical: Williams Handmade Workshop & Gallery

Today I had the privilege of manning the new gallery/studio space in Leominster for Sarah, who makes beautiful bags by hand from painted bridle leather.

She left me a small but fun project for the day.

When I arrived I was greeted by a pile of leather cut offs, a couple of templates and all the tools I might need, with the instructions to cut about 20 of each template from the selection of coloured leather.

 

I'd never cut leather before and have never been very accurate with a scalpel but. lo and behold (and

without any injuries!) the pieces were cut!

The pieces will then be stitched together and folded over, attaching with a popper...

 

...to make nifty little card wallets!!!

I will be helping out Sarah casually from time to time, so hopefully there will be a few other little projects I can take part in, seeing as I really enjoyed today's challenge!



Inspiration: Art Therapy Book

On visiting my friend today, she showed me a beautiful book she had been given which was an art therapy colouring book. After having a look through all the wonderfully patterned, detailed drawings, we then spent the afternoon colouring in and watching cheesy 90's films!

Incredible addictive as well!
