Hi lovely people!
I'm so sorry that I have been neglectful lately... I have been enormously stressed and under a lot of pressure with the last few weeks of Uni, with my last ever project. I know I've promised I'll write more blog posts, but sometimes... when push gets to shove, you have to prioritize.
Here's what I've been doing, in random order:
- Making new jewellery! So excited to be making jewellery again after my 2-week absence away from my tools. I think I'm getting more and more quirky with my pieces. I'm doing this especially, because me and my awesome friend, Saxon are selling together again- but this time, in Camden! I've sold there with another friend but they didn't sell that well, because I guess I just rushed everything, so I've done things properly and started stocking up on more jewellery pieces, or things that I could transform into jewellery, which is why I haven't stocked up on any clothes lately, but rest assured lovely people, I have made some new clothes and they will be in the shop by next week ;)
- Sewing away in my
creative cave. I have been making new bags that are made from a mixture of recycled fabrics and fake suede to make some new bags for the
shop. I'll be making more when time allows.
- This is what I do at Uni! I specialise in woven textiles, and for my project, it was based on the inspiration of fish in the aquarium from the Horniman Museum, London... and I'm currently weaving my final pieces- it is NOT easy, it's full of tangles and messes and thread breakages. I think I've put on a dress size cos of my overeating from the stress of this course, haha
(I know, excuses, excuses, right!?)
- I cut my hair! It wasn't anything dramatic, but I was doing my monthly relaxer treatment on my hair, and when I was blow drying my hair, I noticed that my hair fell out in the middle section... and I was kinda upset, but then I thought...
it's only hair! It WILL grow again! And so, I grabbed a pair of scissors and hacked at it. I'm a little crazy for doing this, but I can still just about tie my hair, and I can wear my hair down too now, so I'm a happy girl!
Enough rambling from me, but I hope everyone has an awesome weekend... and if by any chance anyone is in Camden in London around 26th May, come and find myself and my friend selling our jewellery... and maybe you can snap up a piece before I sell any leftovers at my shop?
Lots of love,
Katherine xo
