Monday 24th March: No life

I have less than 1 week to finish making my accessories collection. Thus I have had nothing to report for this weekend. I have missed Neel's Fancy Dress Easter Egg Hunt on Hamstead Heath, William Orbit dj at Circus, the 2nd installment of new Sunday event "Issue" and tonight's drinks at The George & Dragon with the fashion team of Pop magazine serving at the bar and spinning the tunes.............instead I am hunched over, embroidering away, trying not to loose the will to carry on.........I can't preview anything for fear of letting the proverbial cat out of the bag but here is a coat I embroidered on my degree which I have revisited for inspiration in technique..........

Monday 24th March: Face Fuzzy Felt

I accompany the day's chosen colour with Bindi decoration around my eye. Something I started when I was at school after a shopping visit to Alperton for fabrics and discovered these beautiful graphic shapes. Sometimes I incorporate them into my work as seen on my business card collage. A friend has very kindly brought me back a selection of new packs from India so my stock is generously replenished. No need to keep old ones by sticking them to my bathroom wall..............
