"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"...again

So Christmas is slowly approaching and that means Christmas cards!

 This year I decided to take part in the Tigerprint Christmas Icons competition. It was a lovely surprise to find my design in the 1st round of shortlists alongside some beautiful entries.

( www.tigerprint.typepad.com/competition/2013/11/christmas-icon-shortlist.html )

My concept was based around Santa and his elves (also known as little helpers!)...

When I was younger I was always told that you are always being watched (just so Santa can make sure that you are being good the whole year round!)

So, getting into the spirit...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Birthday Maw!

 

Still need to discover how to fully export swf files...mmm

None the less! Happy Birthday Mum :)!

RE: Sustain

RE: Sustain.

An exhibition. A collection of "recycled" works from various artists..

 

 Although wishing that I had spent some more time on these, I displayed these little lanterns. The aim is for these old tin cans and jars to be used as welcome signs on dark nights or in the home to brighten up living spaces. Simple.

 

(One of my favourite parts...free seeds for growing some veg)

 

I really liked the idea of flat pack gifts which can grow or develop into something else. A.k.a be recycled! I hope to expand on it.

A little book design..inspired from recent life events.

Vinyls

"New" media to melt.

Free vinyls? Sure, why not!

With the wonders of the internet we decided these tunes could be put to another use...

Inspired by having no bowls for snacks at my friends party we decided to make our own!

I plan to look further into using this material for other things.
