working from home

Here are a few snapshots of what I have been up to this week. I am experimenting at the moment with stitching in to leather and I have also had a play around with some bright coloured inks while the sun was shining.

Architecture - the birds nest

We all have Olympic fever..It has been on every day for nearly two week so it is very hard to avoid. But I have been inspired equally by the athletes we seen on our screens and by the Olympic buildings of the past. As you know I have a very keen interest in Architecture so for me the Beijing Olympic Stadium (2008) ticks every box for my visual requirements. Take a look. Nothing says grand, power or winners more than this beautiful structure. I always feel completely in awe of China..they always seem to get everything spot on, perfectly. The Olympic stadium is no exception.

Interning summer 2012

I recently took up residency in London to spend part of my summer interning for my favourite designer Helen Amy Murray. Firstly, to anybody who is considering taking on an internship - forget what you have ever heard about internships. What you learn will be invaluable for life.  My time working for the studio was truly fab, the team I worked with all wonderful and the work I was able to assist with was jaw-dropping, absolute attention to detail. Helen Amy Murray Studio will be admired by myself for many years as a design concept and the BEST memories. The sky really is the limit - drive yourself.
