Sketchbook post part ll

Here are some more pieces from my sketchbook, Most of these pieces are mixed media so again,

feel free to drop a comment if you have any questions!

I haven't posted anything on here in a while, I've been quite busy with work and making a facebook page

I'm going to start making things really soon and posting them on there.

My brother did the graphics for my page which are amazing and I'm very happy with.

Recently I've been knitting, drawing, doing a bit of photography and just enjoying my creative freedom from university getting ready for my second year.

Here's a painting I did of Taylor Swift using pallette knifes and acrylic paint on canvas

Here I embroided a design I drawn from my head and embelished

I've been out enjoying the English weather while we have it, I didn't get to relax until yesterday because I had work at the weekend but I'm planning on taking advantage of my week days(:

Half Term part 2

Well On the side on doing work for my 'HAND TO HEART' project I've been trying to be neat and delicate with my work for better results, although it takes much longer the results are much better and hopefully when I get back to using the studios tomorrow I can have a go on the sewing machine(:

I used some transfer paper to copy my automatic drawings onto fabric, I used beads and thread to decorate and fill in caps and this is what I have so far(:

Me and my friend Catherine ( http://thatcraftypieceofwork.blogspot.co.uk/ )had an idea to make a facinator for my final piece. I'm excited to show my designs to my tutors and see what they think. I'm not 100% sure what my final piece will look like or how I'll make it so I'm going to have a busy 4 weeks ahead!

I've also being working on some designs for my facinator using Photoshop. I thought this would be a better way to get a design than using a collage method and the internet is full of beautiful imagery as well as some of my own photography I've taken in the past.

Wedding Photography

So a few months ago my friend Samantha had asked me to be a photographer at her wedding, knowing I was a creative person and doing photography at college along with other subjects she asked me kindly if I could do it for free, I was a bit hesitant at first because I have a lot of uni work on but I thought it would be a nice break and a good day out, since I hadn't seen her in a while. I love photography, although I'm no professional I'd love this to stay as a hobby and help me with my work on my Applied Arts course a CCAD.
Anyway here are a few of the photo's from the day.

The Driver was absolutely brilliant, he brought champers and disposable glasses for a bride and groom and was very flexible and friendly, I enjoyed the experience overall, it was quite stressful and worrying because I wanted the photo's to be perfect but the weather was defiantly on Samantha and Chris' side and the guests were brilliant(:
