Spray painting

Before going back to uni I decided that I wanted to take my bike to cycle to lectures, but my bike helmet was hideous. It was originally orange with crazy patterns all over it so I decided it might be fun to spray paint it. It's now gold! I didn't take the upmost care while doing it but I don't think it's too noticeable! To add to it I think I should get some plastic flowers to weave around my bike basket! I don't think I'll be cycling much any time soon though as its so snowy!

Alpaca obsession

I got this jumper recently from a vintage kilo sale and it's made from Alpaca wool, with an alpaca pattern all over it. Almost everyone knows how much I love llamas and alpacas, so this is now one of my most favourite jumpers! I think it must be from Peru as that's where they produce most alpaca wool garments.

 

i'm wearing it with the lace collar of my dress, I think the mix of textures is really interesting.

 

Inky things

Recently I've started experimenting with ink and watercolour. I was inspired by the forgotten side of nature - gnarled trees and withered branches, adding life to the pieces with colour. see what you think!

This is a study of some tree bark but to me it looks almost like bubbles.
