Stephanie Clark

Stephanie Clark's embroidered illustrations are beautiful. I love her Portraits Of Houses series. You can see more of her work here.

Embroidery is something I want to learn. As a textiles obsessed illustration student, it's almost the logical step.

Location Drawing: The Press Room Cafe

The Press Room is my favourite cafe, located tantalisingly close to my flat and has such beautiful decor, I spent an afternoon last week drinking smoothies and drawing.

Final Major Project

Today I want to share the final images from my project...

Rubber Stamp Carving

Term is rapidly coming to an end and with it, first year. I'm frantically trying to compile all my work and fill in any gaps from the modules. Last night I made a set of stamps by carving into rubbers. Another thing ticked off the list. I'm looking forward to summer now, I have a lot of mundane household plans, and some more exciting ones too.

Sneak Peek of my FMP

It's taken hours of hard work but the end is very nearly in sight. I've made 4 complete objects for my FMP so far and I'm very nearly done. Tensions are running high in our flat at the moment - Harriet has her final hand in for the first year of her Art & Design FdA today and there's frantic printing, cutting and sticking happening in our living room. Along with the occasional "I am going to be so much more organised / work so much harder next year" emitting from both of us.

Work-In-Progress

I want to share a few behind-the-scenes peeks of things I've been working on for my FMP. I've been looking at fast food and branding, combined with time consuming hand rendered techniques. Rug hooking, weaving, cross stitch and knitting.

Final Major Project Collages

After a little final major panicking, I went out and bought a handful of fashion magazines and, remembering how much I enjoyed the collage project, I got my scalpel out and reconstructed outfits for the models in Vogue magazine, using fashion branding.

I really like how eye-catching these images are - I want to experiment with replacing the labels with advertising from craft magazines.
