So I have begun a new chapter in my life, new friends and experiences are to follow ...
I am going to begin a reflective journal, my fears and feelings on a day to day basis I shall record.
Patched-up Designs
I am a contemporary textile designer who produces vibrant elective collections. At the moment I am working on a range of modern tapestries made from natural fibres.I am intrigued with pattern and adore colour. A life without colour would not be worth living!!!!!!

Staycation
Finances art tight so stay in Britain this summer for your vacation, in a personalized yurt.
I have mashed up cultural identity and religious iconic imagery.
I have looked at street art and hopefully created cultural harmony.

Today whilst researching for my independent practice, I discovered Tord Boonjte. His work is about the delicate marriage with design and emotion, reflecting on nature. I have been greatly inspired today and feel like a breath of fresh air to propel me further down the road of discovery has been granted. I hope you take a look at his website and enjoy his work as much as I did.

I am currently designing fabrics based on a multi cultural theme. I am fascinated with colour and pattern. I want to embrace the cultures that surround us daily and hopefully through my current practice bring a little bit of harmony in a very troubled world.
The fabrics are going to become , hopefully a marvelous creation,a tent or a fantasy den, to hide away from troubled waters. I have a browse at pinterest a fantastic website.
