What's SUP
July & August '20
|
I've done stand-up-paddle boarding in the past and loved it... so when we went into 'lockdown' I decided to buy an inflatable SUP since I live right near the River Wye. It's been great to get out on the water, and explore new routes in the area. I have loved taking our dog Lottie out who has been really enjoying it too!

Meet 'Roarrry the Lion'
|
I ended up making 'Roarrry the Lion' for my little cousin Callum's birthday (instead of the wall hanging - see below). I felt that this was much more fun and appropriate for a 3 year-old! He loved it!

Enter the Lion's Den...
June '20
I bought a tabletop tapestry loom to weave some funky wall hangings using up yarn scraps. I did a bit of weaving in my first year at university but haven't done anything since (having specialised in knitwear design). Thought making a lion with a big scraggy mane would be fun and a great present for my little cousin's upcoming birthday.

Jewel tassles...
|
I've enjoyed making pretty silk and cashmere tassles using up some of the yarns left-over from my uni collection. A nice little something to post to my friends as a little pick-me-up during lockdown.

The beautiful tulips in bloom in my parent's garden (see photos below) reminded me of this painting I did of the tulip fields in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, bursting with colour!

March '20

We were very lucky to spend a few days in Austria to celebrate my mum's big birthday on the slopes! I hadn't hit the slopes since I was living in Switzerland (2014), so was a bit rusty snowboarding but loved being back in the mountains.

Countryside fix...

Enjoyed some country walks up Cleeve Hill and a trip to the Rococo Garden in Painswick to see the snowdrops.

Berlin

I was fortunate to visit a couple of design trade shows in Berlin with work recently, and enjoyed spending my free time wandering around the city. Got some great shots of the skyline lit up at night and interesting architecture.

Chocolate Christmas Trees

Piped white chocolate Christmas trees (with added green food colouring), chocolate matchsticks for the trunk and and added sparkles and stars for the decoration.

September Sunsets in Cornwall September '19
Had a fantastic week off on a girls trip down to Cornwall with my mum and our Welsh Springer, Lottie, in the campervan. Couldn't have timed it better as we had perfect weather the whole week so enjoyed swimming in the sea, clifftop walks, as well as some amazing sunsets in Crantock, Holywell Bay, Polly Joke Beach and Watergate Bay.

A little trip with the girls (and Margo, our younger member of the gang) to the Butterfly garden in Whitchurch, which is just down the road from where I grew up. Got some great shots of the beautiful, crazily patterned butterflies...

Stormy skies in Shanghai
August '19
I'd been hoping to catch the sunset on The Bund as I've got plenty of shots of the bright night lights of Shanghai, but unfortunately we had stormy skies this time! I explored a bit of the area nearby in the search for some nice green tea to bring back. Took some photos of some very typical Chinese buildings and lanterns.

The colours and curries of India
August '19
|
Another trip to the Far East came around too quickly... First stop India, which is always my favourite place to visit because it's such a hectic, crazy and colourful country, and I LOVE curry! I enjoyed it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was very happy to get some fun shots of the technicolour Ta Ta trucks which I will never tire of!

Pretty PORTO, June '19
I took the train from Lisbon up to Porto for a couple of days, arriving on the Sunday evening when the Santa Pola festival was on - one of the best local traditional festivals in Portugal. It was amazing! Everyone was partying in the streets which were dressed with bunting and fairy lights, and were filled with the smell of people barbecuing sardines! A spectacular firework display over the bridge started at midnight, which felt like New Year's Eve!
It was so nice to be by the river and enjoy a boat trip with the cool breeze, and overlook Porto and the River Douro from the top of the The Dom Luís Bridge. Famous for its port, we couldn't leave without taking a Port tour!

LISBON, June '19
Lisbon has long been on my list of places to visit and I was very excited to get to go over my birthday this year.
I'd heard great things about Lisbon (and Porto) from friends and it more than exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed wandering around the 'higgledy-piggledy' streets, eating many, many, many Pastel del Natas and feeling very inspired in a colourful city with lots of pretty traditional tiles and ceramics. There were lots of parts to the city to explore; I took the famous no.28 tram up to the Alfama, the old town, where there were many pretty spots to enjoy the view over Lisbon. Belém is a short tram ride out of Lisbon, on the Tagus River, with historic landmarks that recall Portugal’s seafaring past (I enjoy a bit of history), like the 16th-century Tower of Belém, the vast Gothic Jerónimos Monastery, and I of course stopped by the popular Pastéis de Belém patisserie which is famous for its custard tarts.

THAILAND
October/November '18
We haven't been on a proper family holiday since my brother and I were kids, so it was great to go on a two week trip to Thailand with my parents. It's been nearly 10 years (!) since I went to SE Asia on my Gap Year so I was excited to see how it had changed, but also explore new places I hadn't visited before.
We started in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand, where we explored the countryside; visited the rice terraces, numerous amazing waterfalls and weaving villages. I especially enjoyed visiting the traditional Thai parasol factory (although set-up for & heaving with tourists) as you could see the women making them by hand from start to finish! As a family we LOVE Thai food, so we also enjoyed a cooking class after a tour of a local food market which was very interesting (especially learning how they make coconut milk).
I'd not explored much of central Thailand previously. We traveled North-West of Bangkok and stayed on the River Kwai where it was interesting (but also very saddening) to learn more about the history of the Thai-Burma Railway during World War II. Then we travelled to 'Hellfire Pass' which is the name of a railway pass through a mountain of rock which was built with forced labour during WWII, where many men died of exhaustion and disease - very tragic, especially when the railway line closed 2 years after completion! We took a train journey on part of the track further down the line which is still open and then walked back across it - not for the faint-hearted. We also enjoyed some time 'camping' (more like 'Glamping') in an old POW campsite by the riverside, early morning bike ride to some temples & more waterfalls (but swimming in them this time!). After a quick 24hr stop-over in Bangkok we flew down to the south for some beach time...
It was nice to have some time at the end of our holiday to relax at the beach after a packed itinerary! We stayed in Khao Lak where we enjoyed many beautiful sunsets, swimming in the warm sea and numerous Thai massages (some more relaxing than others!). On our last day, we had a trip out to the Similan Islands National Park where the sand was white and the sea was crystal clear. It was paradise! We went snorkeling and there we so many beautiful, colourful fish (including 'Nemo'), but sadly we didn't catch a turtle or reef shark! A fantastic end to an amazing holiday! I was sad to be coming home but felt completely recharged and inspired.

Bunny Baby Booties
October '18
I wanted to get back into hand-knitting and these cute little baby booties for my cousin's impending little girl were the perfect excuse to get the knitting needles back out! I used a soft grey marled yarn for the main body, and added pretty pale pink mohair pompoms for the tail. These are the easiest baby booties I have made as they were not knitted in the round, instead, each boot is a shaped piece which was then stitched up (with added ears, eyes, nose & tail). I followed the 'Sew Sensational' blog I found online: https://sewsensational.wordpress.com/2014/05/24/knitted-bunny-baby-booties/

Bangladesh
March '18

I loved my first time to Dhaka, Bangladesh, for the same reasons I love India... it's a crazy and colourful place where despite its obvious poverty, everyone has a huge smile on their face and is very welcoming. They are ruthless drivers and I think you are lucky if you have no scratches on your car - the buses were so scraped there was barely any paint left on some of them! I really wanted to have a ride in the pretty cycle rickshaws as they were all so colourful and each had a different design (the more OTT the better!). A particular highlight was getting to visit various factories and see the production line, washing houses, print production etc, which I haven't seen before.

We ended up in Hong Kong over the weekend (as part of our two week work trip) so I managed to enjoy being a tourist and see some of the sights! It's such a busy, crazy and amazing place - I loved it! Some snaps of the Victoria Peak, HK skyline and Star ferry at night (along the 'Avenue of Stars'), and the views from the cable car up to see the Tian Tan Buddah on Lantau Island.

February Florals
I recently enjoyed a weekend in London visiting the Orchid Festival at Kew Gardens and made my first trip to Columbia Road Flower Market. Orchids are one of my favourite flowers but I can never keep them alive! There were so many different varieties and beautiful colours as part of the Orchid Festival.
Bristol Harbour
Lovely sunny Sunday walk along Bristol harbour side. Love all the pixelated colours - inspiration for my next painting?
Pistachio, Yoghurt & Elderflower cake
Yummy Gluten Free cake recipe by Jamie Oliver. I'm not much of a baker but this GF cake was relatively faff-free, tastes great and looks particularly pretty (bar the burnt edges)! The combination of lemon, elderflower cordial and greek yoghurt icing is really fresh.

Also very fitting that it was World Whale Day on the 18th February!

A quick visit to London couldn't go without swinging by this year's Serpentine Pavilion designed by Francis Kéré. Inspired by his roots in Burkina Faso, Africa, it's a beautiful tree-like space made up of a tessellation of triangles, with curved walls beneath the orange-ish roof in complementary deep blue.

Breathing Colour by Hella Jongerius
The Design Museum, London.
July '17
Breathing Colour by acclaimed Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, is an installation-based exhibition that takes a deeper look at the way colour behaves, exploring shapes, materials, shadows and reflections.
The exhibition is divided into separate spaces that simulate daylight at specific times of the day – morning, noon and evening. These three phases explore the impact of changing daylight on our perception of colour. This exhibition was of particular interest as it is extremely relevant to my graduate collection, which was inspired by the ever-changing colours from Dawn ‘til Dusk. My dissertation also looked at our perception and the use of colour in fashion.

I've enjoyed finally adding some colour to my thrown pieces. It's tricky mixing colours as you never know quite how the colours will change after firing (which is also part of the fun)... but I'm thrilled with my first attempt! Melting glass beads (see pre-firing, left) is very easy and striking way of adding colour.

1920s JAZZ AGE Fashion & Photographs
|
October '16
My most recent visit to London was to catch the end of the Georgia O'keeffe exhibition at the Tate Modern and the 1920s JAZZ AGE exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum. I love twenties fashion so this was a great little exhibition to go to 'The 1920s JAZZ AGE exhibition presents a glittering display of haute couture and ready-to-wear fashion from 1919 to 1929. Women’s clothing in the 1920s reflected dizzying social change on an unprecedented scale. From Paris and London to New York and Hollywood, the decade following the Great War offered the modern woman a completely new style of dressing. With over 150 garments, this stunning selection of sportswear, printed day dresses, fringed flapper dresses, beaded evening wear, velvet capes, and silk pyjamas reveals the glamour, excess, frivolity and modernity of the decade. Colourful illustrations by Gordon Conway from the Illustrated London News Archive at Mary Evans and photographs by Abbe, Beaton, Man Ray, and Baron de Meyer highlight the role of photographs and magazines in promoting the 1920s look.' |

The sky was filled with colour as Bristol Balloon Fiesta took to the air... colourful balloons of all shapes and sizes were scattered across the Bristol skyline as over a hundred hot air balloons took part in a mass launch from the Ashton Court Estate. The epic mass ascent was followed by a stunning nightglow where the pilots lit the burners in rhythm to music.

A Brief Visit to Bamberg, Germany
July '16
My summer of little trips abroad has begun... beginning with a few days in Bamberg, a beautiful town in northern Bavaria, Germany which sits on seven hills. I enjoyed exploring the cobbled streets, the mix of architecture and soaking up the magical 'fairytale' atmosphere of the old town with the river running through it. A very picturesque, pretty town.

KNITTING: MATERIAL AND COLOUR
'I would like to describe visually the fascination of a creative process that leads to the physical transformation of material. It is the mystique of colour taking shape. There is experimentation, the repetitive process of infinite research, the obsession that builds experience. It is the art of creating a fabric'. Luca Missoni

Asian AnticsMarch '16
My first work trip was a whistle-stop tour of Asia to visit factories and suppliers, as well as research and inspiration for designing the next season. In 2 weeks, we visited India, Hong Kong, China and Japan. I've been to India as part of my Gap Year and it was as crazy and chaotic as I remembered it! It was my first time to Hong Kong, China and Japan, and I particularly loved Tokyo. Japan is a place that has never been on my list of places to visit, but I definitely want to explore more... |
