The previous years

 Listening to- Feeling Groovy by Simon and Garfunkel

Wierdly, I thought I'd put a little in here about my education...
As much as I disdain that lawfully, we have to spend the best years of our young life in some facist institution being beaten with a proverbial rod, the best thing happened to me last year. I realised that the weeks of sleepless nights and psychological headbanging had somewhat been worth it!!

This is some of the work I did last year (in the foundation diploma) that helped me to realise my own design context and get a sense of personal progression......

Brothers Grimm- The Cinderella Dress (first image by Anna Victoria Best, second by myself, the model is my beautiful freind Neen, she is magical)- it is a hand dyed and heat pressed calico bodice, relief printed with snowflakes, 6 metres of hand dip dyed mussaline silk, 6 metres of hand dip dyed calico, screen printed with snowflakes and applique geese and a deconstructed hessian panel with heat press printed, free machine embroidered and hand beaded snowflakes, and catkins!


The Tea total project- Some sketchbook pages












The Environment Project- Image by Anna Victoria Best- Embroidered burnt organza, hand painted silks, quilting and beading.



Final Major Project- Wee Beasties shoot, Images by myself- a range of felted insect accessories.
