Inspirations



I have always loved History, Literature and Art.........................................................................................................
beautiful things, the stuff of dreams..................................................

flowers, butterflies, fairy tales, embroidered fragments, Chinese blues, Botticelli angels, Blake's visions, Burne-Jones pictures............................................................................................

amongst many other hints and wisps of the past..........................

to catch in my net and weave into mydesigns..................

which I hope others might find as beautiful as their inspirations.

Good News- drawing being used by international cotton trader!!!!

I am very pleased because an international cotton company is using a drawing I produced for my Minor Project as part of it's client presentation powerpoint! :-)


This is just a sample of the A1 drawing  sheet I produced whilst trying to design a 'Cotton' Anniversay card! I also used different media on the sheet. The cards I produced, using the different kinds of imagery, included; straight forward prints of the image mounted on different backgroud papers, one that was printed on cotton fabric and the one I liked best that was printed , cut into with a scalpel and cotton wool inserted!!
