I have just finished my university course (BA(Hons) Textile Design (Mixed Media Textiles) -(got a 2:1!) at De Montfort University in Leicester) and have moved back down south to be nearer London and return home.
A big step and a whole new chapter of my life!
During the adventure of New Designers and some exciting new opportunities coming my way, I have started a small business creating leather necklaces, corsages and other accessories.
Moving home, I have comandeered a second room to use as my new studio and work on accessories to sell. -Jammy I know!
It is so good to have my own space to work, with room to store all my feathers, beads, sketchbooks and fabrics. Plus it's got a great view, being a loft conversion :)
After a very successful leather sourcing day yesterday, I'm so excited to get started on creating some more colourful necklaces this week - lots of purples, deep reds and blues/greens and tans.
Watch this space!
Also had a rather successful trip to the park Monday, having collected some very beautiful parrot, pheasant and budgie feathers from the friendly man who looks after the pets corner!
I have plans for these beauties....
