less words....more pictures....

hello again!

The weather here in Arusha is still all moody and rainy, the mountain was beautiful sunshine at the bottom this afternoon with a complete storm going on at the top! anyway, Gordon the dog and i are just relaxing and uploading more imagery from the fashion show if you care to take a look....

ps. the fashion show is going on tour soon, to the commercial capital, Dar Es Salaam....

Firstly here's a little video of Gordon hiding by the fence avoiding the flies!

 Super mini-hand dyed and beaded....

detail of beaded waistband-one week=one skirt....

Beading detail on long length a-line top and handkerchief hem skirt....

i would appreciate any feedback!

new work....fingers crossed i can sell it!

while i'm here in africa again, tanzania, east africa incase you didnt know....i'm doing some art and design stuff in a sparse free time to display in galleries across the city-thats the plan anyway!

here's an image of the sort of thing i've been up to so far.... and yeah i realise its terrible quality, but i was in a rush!....

(its still copyrighted though-so don't be pasting it anywhere!)

i think i've been given an incentive....

This starling postcard dropped through the door this morning and reminded me of how only a year ago, we were off to New Designers ourselves in hope of fame and fortune! i can hardly believe that it was 12 months ago as so much has happened over the last year....

After i visited the CCAD degree show last thursday night i have been given a huge incentive to pick up some embroidery again. I really miss all the drawing, designing and making we got to do at college and i know a lot of others would agree with me but it has become hard to find the time. So this week i'm making a specail effort to create something new. if only i could stop going to work long enough to pay a visit to Kim on Witchmountain!! who by the way ahs a giveaway at the moment, what are you waiting for?! enter it!!

I'm having a bit of trouble with the image upload (again) so they're all at the top, sorry!!

By the time i finishe this new embroidery i want it to be as embelished as my degree work 2010....lets see if i have the patience again?
