The language of flowers

Delia Pusey's work shown at Alexandra palace was extremely beautiful. It has been a while since an exhibition gave me goose bumps and that sense of eery-ness. I love the slight melancholy theme about the story. Another that captured me is the fine machine stitches that reminded me of using dissolvable fabric. 

As you can see from the image, the flowers represented hidden messages representing love letter during the First World War. I was lucky enough to have a flick through her sketchbook, which was beautiful also.

Archiving the archiver

A private view evening of an exhibition was a very good excuse to venture in South London.

My dear and very talented artist Eleanor Davies was curating a wonderful show about the history of Lewisham. So much colours and cultures to learn about the area. I was so impressed by how balanced it all looked.

The end is near

Here it is.

 Final sample that I have hand stitched for my end of year degree collection.

Save the date to say hello and have a look at the rest of my end of year work in Yorkshire Craft centre in Bradford from Monday 17^th Of June to 19^th of June 2013. Its totally free. You can get information on the direction here.

I will also be (excitingly) showing in Part 1 New Designers show in London this year (Wednesday 26th of June to Saturday 29th of June 2013). Do have a nosey in Stand T29 and bring a trolley (to carry all the exciting postcards from all the graduates that are showing). You can save tons of money and buy pretty things by booking the tickets early via New Designers website here.

Hope to see you there.

Textures of green

Another wonderful exhibition by Hannah Lamb and Alice Fox at the Bowery, Leeds.

I love that I came on a really quite day, so that I could pay attention to the close details of their respected work. The stitches were whispering memory of that feeling when one is walking in the Yorkshire wood and that curious senses when one is on the beach.

Catch up the exhibition at Bowery Gallery, Leeds until 5th of July. Or visit two of the above embroidery artist at their studio on Saltaire Arts Trail starting Next weekend.

The Fine strokes

I was so happy to be able to help setting up two gorgeous stand at Knit and Stitch show in Harrogate. And I had a quick preview of Tilike Schwarz's work before it was hanged for public to see.

 A couple of my work from the Trend book project was also up among the other fab sample of work from the rest of the year group.

 All these efforts are for raising money for the New Designer show. So Be sure to spend your pocket money on Bradford College stand to get those delicious handmade goodies.

New heat wave

Welcome.
It's been such a hot and exciting weekend. My recent colourful project has inspired me to be a little bit more confident on creating this blog. There is a preview of a trend book page that I have design alongside the recent graduate show of my course in Bradford college Lister building, Bradford. It will be open for public on Saturday 23rd of June 2012. Hope everyone can make it.
A little bit of what I have been stitching for the project lately.

A trimming sample for lingerie, using Ceramic and up-cycling old crochet and velvet bow. I love playying around with beads and the elastic ruffles ribbon found in Samuel Taylor, Leeds.
