C O T T O N + Wood ::: A close-up...

Finally got around to taking some decent photos of the work I did for the COTTON + Wood Exhibition just over a year ago. I really wanted to get some good detailed shots to put up here and for future promo work, plus I kinda love looking back at all my work over the years and revisiting the ideas...

  

Wedding Invited for Marissa & Brendan

More recently I was asked by my good friend Marissa to draw and design her some wedding invites for their upcoming nuptials in December. She gave me a few mood images to work from and then I worked my magic for the rest. It was really great doing something very photoshop and graphic heavy, which I haven't done in a while, but was great to get back into! Especially producing something for the lovely couple on commission... I may have to take a look into this Graphic Design malarky and see what come of it.

I spent a few months this summer making the most of Europe and the places I have never seen. I started with family in the UK and gradually made my way through the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy and finally the Greek Islands... and having so many awesome experiences to remember from it...

Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The Swiss Alps, Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.

Bern, Switzerland.

Genoa, Italy.

Burano, Italy.

The Amalfi Coast, Italy.

Riomaggiore, La Cinque, Terre.

Oia, Santorini, Greek Islands.

East End Night Market

I decided to have my first soft open market stall in March this year, to test out a few new pieces and to get feedback on my remaining Cotton + WOOD artworks. Unfortunately, I did not sell much but had lots of positive feedback from people and kind words.... I don't think I would do this market again however, as I seemed to be the only 'higher end' designer there, which doesn't bode well for sales... Next step, Bowerbird me thinks.

Gifts for my sister....

A few little gifts that I completed for my sister in the past year. For Christmas, a handmade paper cut of her favourite Harry Potter quote and for her birthday a little drawing of our family pup, India....

TAFE ARTS ::: Ceramics Term

Just a little update on what Ive been up to in the last year....

At the end of 2016/beginning 2017 I completed another couple of Ceramics short courses; one of which was Wheel Throwing Basics and the second being Glaze making. I looked at various ways on how to construct pots and plates, and then went onto use the other class to decorate my vessels. Here are a few of my workings....
