So, ive not done ANYTHING lately with my uni work! I just cant get into any of the projects, which is a bad thing. Artists block me thinks. 
To overcome my lack of inspiration i plan to write the introduction for my essay, that way i will know myself what im doing and how im going to go about it. Then i can start gathering information from websites and hopefully find some useful books too. So hopefully by friday i will have made a lengthy start.
Heres hoping! :-)

Hey! So ive decided to create a blog to hopefully have people see my work and eventually be able to have my dream of owning my own hand-made crafts shop come true :-)
At the moment i am in my second year of University studying Textiles. So as well as designing and making for the briefs i get from uni, i also make my own work. This includes making my own sketchbooks for each brief and making presents for birthdays and, at the moment, christmas!
So heres a some pics of what ive been doing recently...

Back of my sketchbook.

Buttons on the spine.

The next images show what i am doing for my jewellery brief i mixed crafts lessons. This brief has been going on since September but i have struggled to find a direction to go in for it.
However, after experimenting with how to make chains and casting resin, i feel i now have some good ideas to go with...

All of my resin samples so far.

Experiments with straws in resin.

Coloured threads in resin.

Sequins trapped in resin.
