Bee Cup-cakes!

My two best friends came to see me yesterday. I've been pretty stressed out with my work lately so my lovely friend Laura, baked me bee cakes! She says she was procrastinating from writing her dissertation. What can you do instead of writing a dissertation? Bake your best friend bee cakes to surprise her!

I have the greatest friends ever :)

A few photos from yesterday :) 

Hand-made ring from Israel

Here is a photograph of my new beautiful hand-made ring from Israel. It has an initial 'D' as my partner's name is Daniel. It sits perfect with my other favourite diamond ring that my family bought me for Christmas. I am in love with it! You can buy them from Etsy. Click here to see the jewellery work from Binster.

David Bowie -Diamond Dogs Vinyl Design - New Project!

My David Bowie 'Diamond Dogs' vinyl cover design.

Known as the 'Red Reveal' effect, David Bowie changes from a man to a dog by a simple play of colour and red acetate.

In the Sheets- New Project!

In the Sheets is a project inspired by my personal dream diary.  I have suffered from insomnia for a number of years, when I do finally sleep, I have very strange dreams. Because these dreams were so strange, a friend who is also a poet suggested I write them down. From this, I decided to base my project on these dreams. The dreams range from fun, to strange to interesting to very dark. I was also heavily inspired by Sam Winston’s ‘Solace’ piece.

The text is hand-cut and scanned in to give the effect of depth and to allow them to flow in a wave form, to present the brain waves we have when we sleep. The material is very thin tracing paper, which allows the text to be seen through on either side to represent the lucid dreams.

I decided to create 5 short stories, as there are 5 stages of sleep. The typeface has 5 different weights, all of which change depending on the sleep stage. Each story explains the stage of sleep and also picks out particular words. These words are given a dictionary definition. The words are explored to see what it means to dream about ‘swimming’ for example. 

At the end of the story is a separate page of my scanned personal dream diary to add an element of reality to these unusual dreams.
