happy birthday to me!

Well thank you everyone who contributed to by lovely 22nd birthday this last monday! now it's back to the good old college work, but the embroidery has become sooo difficult i'm now sewing with a thimble and a pair of pliers! never mind, i'm sure the end results will pay that off (hopefully!)
i've now also managed to get some of my laser cutting done, so i feel i'm on the home straight a bit more, thankfully! as well as some more machine embroidery before we broke up for Easter....

so, it's only seven weeks or something until the final hand in and i'm really trying to pull some rabbits out of hats! i'm chasing laser cutter technology, but everywhere is very, very expensive or just too far away.... hopefully i'll get something sorted soon!?well, in the next seven weeks really!!
our degree show is on the 4th - 10th june, or so i think but i'm not too sure.... so i'll confirm it at a later date. someone from my class is sure to know....
i'll be uploading some exciting laser cut pictures soon (fingers crossed!)

new fashion accessories!

my range of pins and brooches, currently in progress inspired by love itself....

final major project-work in progress....

a series of neckpieces and brooches.... inspired by, loves present and lost as well as heavy african influences....

enough is enough part II

also, i forgot to add, my freelance painting is also being inspired....here's my lastest canvas....
let me konw if you like it??!

enough is enough, time to begin again....

well, here are my lastest achievements!! the first deisgn of major project, scary to think that 60% of the whole degree is depending on what marks i get from doing these pieces of work!
am feeling better about the whole broken heart thing too by the way, i'm sure you're dying to know that!
this piece is one design from a collection of neckpieces and brooches....yes it has taken me forever with all the stitching, hopefully the snow will stay away for this week so i can get to kim tillyers house and be more productive!

how can i just have realised?

oh no....you hurt me but i still love you?
