Textiles and Taxidermy: What I love doing

It's taken me nearly three years, but i've finally decided to get with the times and start a blog about my work! As most of you will know i'm at NUA studying for a degree in Textiles, and i'm currently doing my final project before I finish (and hopefully graduate!).

I love illustration and drawing and I think that comes across in my work. I've tried lots of different skills and techniques in the last three years at university, but i've chosen to spend the last year designing for interiors, creating wall papers and furnishing fabrics. I like my work to be quite quirky and fun, but still appealing enough to be seen by a wide audience.

So I thought i'd start my blog with some pictures of the work that I was doing last year to see the sort of thing that I love doing. This project was based on Norfolk, trying to capture what makes Norfolk so 'Norfolk'; looking at the type of things and people in Norfolk that we often have the piss taken out of us for, but doing it in a sympathetic way. I wanted to create a collection that was fun, but still appealing enough to want to use it in the home.
