Interning with Helen Foot Design

Way back in July (I can't believe it is OCTOBER already) I travelled to Shrewsbury and spent a week interning at Helen Foot Design.  Helen specialises in beautiful woven scarfs, cushions and at the time of me working with her had just started producing lavender bags.. With the loom out of action the week was mainly spent concentrating on getting as many lavender bags made as possible, and we made a lot!

Cutting, pinning, sewing, stuffing, sewing, bundling...and repeat!

                                                        

This was just the first batch.

                                                       

All labelled and looking lovely

New inspiration

  Since I last posted, I have been concentrating on work based on photos I took whilst in Blackpool, which include a lot of colour and structural elements. I've been doing work in a sketchbook but think some of these photos would work better on a larger scale, which is what I aim to do in the next few weeks.
