Handmade III fair 13:48

Me and my sister took part in the 3rd Handmade fair today at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, we had things such as cakes, cards, badges, posters, tea towels, necklaces and bookmarks. It was such a great day and a really good turn out, with lots of cake. We only managed to get a small table but had a nice little set up and people seem to be really interested in what we had, we managed to sell quite a few little bits and bobs. 

I made some posters based on astronomy using designs from my current project, they were screen printed and even though there was a few problems they came out really well and they were really popular. My sister also designed and made this tea towel using really simple triangle and diamond shapes, beautiful.

I designed a range of birthday cards with simple cut out paper and i thought these would be really popular but even though people found them funny and quirky i came back with them all. So if anyone's birthday is coming up you might just find one of these in your card pile.

I really like these little badges, really quick and easy to make and there isnt much like this out at the moment. People really seem to like these and iv got a few commissions for a few more words to be created. 

I had the table today with my sister Aidie who made some beautiful designs, she made some gorgeous jewellery using geometric shapes out of perspex. Check out her other work on her blog. Im a big fan of her drawings especially her current project on geometric shapes.

Write or Die 05:48

I know this is going to be VERY relevant to 99% of the BAGD course. This site Write or Die makes sure you write your article in a set amount of time, no more distractions with facebook, food or amazon. You set the amount of works in an amount of time and then start writing, if you leave it to long without writing anything then it will start screaming at you and flashing on your screen. Needless to say it gets your attention back to what you should be doing.

Have fun!

Sockabet revisited 16:09

This was a project that i started at the end of the first year, and now going into 3rd year i finally develop it. I designed a typeface based on socks, however it was finished digitally and never actually assembled with actual socks. So over the summer i decided to just that, and im very pleased with the results.
