When your a maker get this irresistible tingling feeling and you have to make, Know the feeling??

I needed to make, so one day I thought about how I really love textures and patterns, material and ....typography! And theres something incredibly exciting about felt type stitched onto yummy material. mmmmmmm candy!


Something else I love is a really cool visual diary. I think it started at the end of my second year at uni when I could only use black ink pens to write with because they looked neater and there was a consistency. Then I would stencil titles every where and do random drawings every where. By the time I was in my last year I was covering the inside selves with cool patterned paper, material, ribbon wall paper, whatever floated my boat at the time. A fellow student said to me, you know you don't get marked on that right. I knew, but I really didn't care! When I was bored and annoyed, staring at the wall because my work just wasn't working this is what I did, and then I found playing around with decorating my visual diary made my work, work in a strange way, it became a part of my creative process. So I've started making idea books for my friends, books to jot down those secret family recipes etc who knows where they will go but here you go hope you like them, if you would like one flick me an email or txt.
