Currently in Uni Im in a class called Print Matters. It takes place every Wednesday morning and its just a break (for me) from the normal lectures and crits we have to attend. It a fun morning section where we explore different areas that is related to print.  A few weeks ago we had a section of print making with different materials and technique. I had forgotten how fun it is to explore and experiment with print as lately all my work ahas been produced digitally. I had so much fun just exploring and not worry about a finished outcome and just see where my experiments takes me.
Here are some of the results of my experimentations.

Monoprint

Direct print using oil pastel, putting a sheet of paper over and drawing the image onto the paper.

Mono print on top of a stencil print using a sponge and acylic

Experimenting with flickering paint on stencil.

Good mess = Success

Its always good to do something outside the norm just to break free for a while. I missed the days in art class where you just make a mess. I definitely enjoyed this class and will be doing more printing over the holidays.

Thank you Nicole! x

... and not coming out for a while. Been feeling very monochrome at the moment which was apparent in my recent winter haul. So many winter bargains at the moment and definitely wrapping up for the colder weather!

H&M seasonal sale.  I'm loving monochrome knits!

Christmas Tree and Christmas pudding hat with ball balls earrings.

Darker weather, darker the lips. Loving Kate Moss matte

Wrap up warm and wear more layers guys for the colder days!

Today I was doing some first hand research with a group from class for Uni in Soho when we bumped into this new little cafe. We interviewed the man in front of the cafe with our questionnaire, but little did we know that this little cafe had just opened an hour before we came.
We had a little chat outside with him, and he saw us all drooling over he delicious cakes at the window display and invited us in.

It was actually their test run night, where who I think was the manager (the man at the door) told us we could order anything we want for free! We thought we heard him wrong so when I got my order I asked how much it was, and the lady said nothing, as it was their test run night. That was the reason for the manger to be at the door as he was only invited specific people in as he turned away a couple of people when we left. I guess its like a private view for a galley but for a cafe in this case, where you get to taste test before it officially opens.

I was so thrilled as this little was so adorable. The decor and layout of the cafe definitely captured a home sweet home ambiance which is what their whole brand is about.
Good old British home cooking where they serve a wide selection of sweet and savoury.
For what I chose was their Christmas edition cupcake, gingerbread latte cupcake and chestnut chocolate. Both were so delicious. The sponge was moist and the frosting had so much flavour in them and complimented the sponge very well.

I will definitely be back for their signature slice of red velvet!

Check out their website and see what its about or head down their tomorrow as they officially open!

I'm still working on the portfolio but just wanted to share it on here first!!

From yesterday till today, Dr Martens is at CSM (Central Saint Martins) for a little visits!
They had this little cute photobooth truck where you and your friends got take photos and get a print out with a voucher for 20%! So me and Nicole when for a photo just before lectures! It was such a fun idea to promote their brand and just something different to catch peoples attention.

The day of the party I was franticly rushing around trying to get everything organised whilst keep away from Dad. Luckily I had a event to go to the night before and stayed over in London with a friend, so Dad did not suspect anything since I told him I could be coming home later that day. Anyway...
I was so grateful for all our family friends who had offered to help me set up without me asking. I really couldn't have done it on time without their help.
We had 2 hrs to get all the food ready, decorations set up before Dads arrival. It was mad to say the least. I was sweating most of the time haha... not a pretty site.

But everything went really well and Daddy was so surprised!
Heres some of the decorations pictures I took, but many are still missing as I didn't have time to take them properly.
