Embroidered Photographs

Vintage black and white photographs, colourfully and dynamically embroidered; featuring the art form and movement of dance by artist Jose Romussi.

Illustrated Creatures

London based artist Louise McNaught creates beautiful masterpieces which involve wildlife and spiritual aspects. She sees art as an inner ability to outwardly express our ancient tendencies. Her work involves alot of Celtic type creatures such as owls, stags and deer and you can see in her work that she is interested in the spiritual meaning behind animals. I love the  neon colours she uses on top of her fine pencil and ink drawings and the emotions that you can see from the animals.

Fabric Techniques

A view fabric samples I made using some of my favourite techniques such as marbling, Screen printing, slash and stitch and a few different embroidering techniques. 

Jim Lambie

These large floor spaces entice you in to a world of mind boggle and spiral confusion, mesmerizing eye candy and psychedelic colours and I want these floors all over my house, I love them! Created by Scottish artist Jim Lambie and they are all made out of tape!  

Recycling Yarn For Weaving

For the past few days I have been working on some weaving, which I am planning on making in to some sort of large rug or wall hanging but I'm not too sure yet. I love weaving as I find it very enjoyable and rather relaxing too! It's a hobby that doesn't have to be expensive either, I have tons of old clothes that I don't wear anymore and instead of throwing them out I either give them to charity or cut them up to make my own yarn.

Here's some I have been working on...

Folded Paper

Francisca Prieto deconstructs rare illustrated periodicals and books to create a three-dimensional interpretation of things that interest her in life. I find her work very interesting because of the choice of rare imagery chosen by her and how each masterpiece is so intricate. She originally trained as a graphic designer and you can notice that skill throughout her 3D work from the amount of typographical elements involved and the mathematically accurate approach she has. 

Ibiza

After a lovely 2 weeks of sunshine and fun my time in Ibiza has come to an end. I am now back in Newcastle; coming to terms with reality and suffering from the holiday blues, but at least it's good weather here and actually quite hot for once!

Take me back!
