For wallpaper haters alike!

When browsing through a magazine (I can't remember which), I came across this brilliant idea which I thought was worth sharing. 

For people who hate the torture that is wallpaper hanging, this is perfect! 



It's effectively a roller like what you would use to paint a wall with a flat colour, but can have a design attached to it. You buy the roller separate at £10, which seems a good investment as it can obviously be re-used.

The attachments are £15 each, so for £25 you'll have a unique wall with a design that will look vintage and less manufactured. 

The only draw-back in my eyes is maybe there isn't loads of choice in the patterns, however the patterns available are beautiful so who needs more?!

Here's the website - have a look:

My final knitting samples :)

So here's another of my final samples from the first term of University. Knit was my first rotation, I loved it, despite never even touching a pair of knitting needles in the past. I suppose that background knitting knowledge would of helped but it shows what you can do on a knitting machine without any background of knitting. 













Round up of the first term :)

I thought it'd be fitting as it's nearing the end of the year/term (and the gloomy deadline), to show some of the work I've done throughout the rotations. 

So here's my print work. The title was seed heads, flowers and geometrics. The main aspect I took forward which the majority of my prints was the flow of them. The idea arose from the way seed heads float in the wind

Enjoy :)



My starting point. A transfer print which I developed later





Transfer and screen print combined with seed heads and a floral motif.




(This one's my favourite by far ^^^)


An alternative print I did, overlayed with three different colours. I didn't use the purple print however, I used the below grey and black version.
