A new addition to the family...

Here's my new illustration of a lovely owl :) I'm thinking it will look really nice on a bag, maybe a pillow case?? 

I've been practicing with the making of my bags and I've stopped making stupid mistakes now! I brought some heat transfer paper from the internet that I can't get to work, that'll teach me for using ebay... So I've ordered some more that should arrive tomorrow and hopefully I'll have some made ready for christmas presents! Then I'll be able to set up my online selling.

End of term

On friday we held a mini exhibition of some of our work from the term. It was really great to see everything we have accomplished all in one space and I was really impressed by some of the work! I think our iconic photos looks particularly amazing all together, some of them are really impressive!

Transport illustrations

These are all of my illustrations of transport. In my head I had planned to put them together in this way but I'm not sure it looks as successful as the bicycle does in repetition. I think I'm going to concentrate on the bicycle and the moped as I think they are the best illustrations. I'm going to try adding colour and playing around with repetition. 

Tote bag!

I brought a plain tote bag and some heat transfer paper from the college shop today and gave transferring my designs a go. I'm quite please with how it turned out as a first go, I've now learnt to wait for the paper to cool down before peeling off though! I think it would look much better if the design was bigger so I'm either going to have to use A3 paper or two A4s... Bearing in mind that it will cost me quite a bit to get the A3 printed too. I'm trying to keep costs down so that it would be feasible  for me to eventually sell my designs. I'm planning on having a go with the bicycles on a t-shirt next and will try this one again to get a better result.
