Uni.

The Red Shed.

my textile home for the next three years.

and my space. it didnt stay tidy for very long.

summer work.

as part of my summer work i needed to create a collection of items and then photograph them in order to use these prints as initial starting points when i arrive. some of these needed to be component pieces, i get the impression i will be using them to construct something.  just of few of my initial playing around photos.

i chose to photograph my collection on a wooden background as i thought it

really made my objects stand out.

some of the better ones happen by accident.

camping.

camping. despite the not so sunny weather forecast we packed the car (in the end) and headed off to Devon, we arrived to pouring rain and gale force winds. this meant we abandoned our first attempt to put the tent up, and contemplated  a couple of nights in a B&B. although after having lugged all the camping essentials and a few extra luxuries we decided we would stick it out and just get on with it.

the tent.

you can never be too far from an ELLE decoration magazine and yes those are scatter cushions.

not forgetting the fresh flowers.

a feature of my snazzy new camera. the sun did come out eventually!

the most beautiful tea rooms, serving the best cream teas.

mmmm.

despite the initial wet welcome to Devon we were surprisingly lucky with the weather.

jack.

the crystal clear water looks inviting yet it was absolutely freezing.

the seafood shop was highly recommended by the locals and I'm not surprised these prawns were delicious.

ending on a more textiley note, these bug homes were full of texture and patterns.
