Class of 2010

We did it....we graduated! Well Done Design and Art Direction :)

If I knew you were coming I'd a baked a cake....

All these rainy days haven't left me with much to do except wanting to stay curled up in my 'jamas all day eating cake. Not being bothered to venture to buy cake...I decided to do the next best thing and BAKE it!! So here are a few snaps of the yummy carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting which I made to feast on...they were pretty good if I do say so myself :)

The Sunday after hand-in, I went on a little trip to London and in particular the famous Columbia Road market to visit Rob Ryans Shop 'Ryan Town'. It took a while to find the market, but once we arrived, we were overwhelmed with the amount of people and the huuuge flower market! Took a few pictures before we headed off to Camden and then Oxford Circus later on, where somehow we managed to stumble across the London Palladium and caught up with everyone looking gorgeous and heading into the BAFTA's!

I wish I had taken lots of money to RyanTown, beacuse believe you me I could have bought it all. I would love to own one of the ceramic tiles and a huge screen print...maye if I keep dropping hints someone will buy me one for Christmas! Instead I settled for 2 of his laser cut cards which are just so lovely! All in all it was a very busy and long day, but had such a wonderful time...I would do it again this Sunday if I could!

Molly Blooms is Blooming....

 Very exciting times this week. Not only has the degree show opened (will post more soon!) but my Mum is about to launch her very own range of stamps on Sunday over at Sir Stampalot...see their blog here! The 'Molly Blooms' range of rubber stamps feature characters based on myself and my younger brother and fond, childhood memories...they are just so lovely! Have a nosey at the blog and website....maybe treat yourselves if your feeling flush!!

I'll be sure to keep you all updated...good luck Mum!!

The finishing touches...

There is officially one day left before deadline and I am surprisingly organised! With the weather being so lovely yesterday and a lack of a proper photography studio, I decided to turn my garden table into a temporary photography booth....

Of course, Alfie couldn't miss out on the action

John Lewis Christmas Campaign

I felt the need to post John Lewis' Christmas campaign for 2009. Illustrator and designer Kate Forrester has created these sublime paper-cut illustrations which have such a proffesional but fun aesthetic. Every time I see one in a magazine or a newspaper I feel the need to take it out and keep as a source of inspiration for both my own practice and the old dissertation! Take a look:

December's Arrival

Sesame Street turns 40!

As I grew up I absolutly loved sesame street, and I have just discovered that it turned 40 today when I went to search something on Google. All the characters are now on the opening page of the search engine to celebrate it's birthday, I thought I would have a browse at some old clips to cheer myself up after a looong day in Liverpool and I came acroos this video called 'A song about Elmo'...have a look, it made me smile. Elmo an Grover were my favourite :) so HAPPY BIRTHDAY SESAME STREET!!
