Exciting September

My calendar in September is full of exciting plans, there is couple of good exhibitions I'm planning to go as well as Design Festival trade shows and some time to catch the sun and have some rest. I'm also making good progress with my crocheting and have some new ideas for prints and drawings. After being a bit lazy during the summer September feels like the wright time to get some work done but also have lots of fun. I think September is one of my favourite moths in a year.  I also love idea that pictures are much bigger on the blog.

Kate Jenkins

As I'm doing my research I'm finding lots of really interesting work made with fabrics and threads. I've decided to publish all my interesting finding on this blog as this will also help me to categorise my research and make it easy to use in the very boring process of writing.

I love very funny crochet work by Kate Jenkins, represented by Agency Rush Illustration. From the 1st of September she's taking over Rebecca Hossack gallery to do Kate's crochet market more information about the exhibition here

weekend

I had great weekend and finally found some time to see Trace Emin exhibition in Hayward Gallery and have some time for nice shopping. One of my new findings is a book Urban knits which is nice collection of playful ideas of using knitting and crocheting. It's seems that fabrics and threads are recently my object of interest but I guess it's because it's my Ma paper subject as well.

I love Apple Mint crochet books

As I got really in to crocheting and I am looking on different books and textile artists. I found those amazing crochet books form Japan they are cute and have great ideas and patterns to work form it looks that they are mostly in Japanese however I'm still tempted to get one of them and try it out. I'm just afraid they might be addictive. They are published by amazing Apple Mint publishing and so far I found they available here and here.

Back to creativity

After few weeks of doubts and lots of thinking, eating massive amount of unhealthy food.I think I'm finally back on track with creativity and inspiration as well as subject of my research essay. I am also back to making some delicious and healthy food so no more pizza and chips and as a challenge to boost my creativity I've started to learn crocheting which is going not as bad as I thought but still need to focus more on counting chains. I'm so happy to have my powers, inspiration and creativity back so I'm looking forward new and exiting plans.
