Drawings

Been a busy bee today sorting out my sketchbook so that I am happy with it and it is bursting with drawings using different techniques. All my own photos throughout with the colours been changed to make them more interesting. 

Zoe's cabinet

While being in tent I went to see Zoe Murphy to see how she was doing after I had been for my placement. With her stand at Tent looking as beautiful as ever and hearing the exciting new plans she has lined up she then went to show me that the work I helped her print while I was there is in a magazine.

Inspiration

With inspiration all around me it is always good to explore and visit places that will help you. With beamish the other day and then going to the railway museum in York on Saturday. Getting lots of photos and seeing all the different mechanisms. But it's not all about going to different places there is inspiration everywhere even the pipes under a boiler fit well with what I am drawing. 

Beamish

With uni well underway again for my third and final year. I have been putting all of my effort it to going out gaining research that I need to make my drawings look more exciting. So today I spent the day in Beamish Museum looking at the different machinery that was used throughout the industries. Lots of new inspiration and images to put into my work. Images soon of all of my recent sketches. 

Tent

I have spent my day at tent working with Katherine Morris who is the designer at Earth Inke Wallcoverings, showcasing her latest designs that are available to pre order. Had a fantastic day gaining new knowledge and information from her as well as a look around the rest of the show to gain inspiration. I now have a little collection of business cards to add to my book. Here is a little look at the stand that I was working on.
