I GOT TAGGED !
I haven't been tagged before and I must say I've been trying to ignore it - but it's been niggling away at my mind. Last night I watched the Culture show on BBC two with my friend Fred (the same person that tagged me - I can't escape !). We were watched her friend and colleague Bishi who has now made it to my list. so here goes :-
1. Down in Mexico by The Coaster (from Death Proof , Tarantino does it again)
2. Tu vuo fa L'Americano by Renato Carosone - a spring classic I can't ever stop listening to.
3. All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople
4. On my Own Again by Bishi
5. Squeeze Me by Kraak and smaak
6. Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac
7. Bare Necessities by Bruce Reitherman and Phil Harris from The Jungle Book
A weird mix of influences, styles, old and new. Not sure what it says about me but that's what I'm listening to ?
Here's the small print of this tag -
The rules of the game as set by Simon Reynolds: “List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs.

BIG POST
A recent textiles graduate from the RCA Mary Crisp 
Beautiful work by illustrator Andrew Holder
Packaging from Tord Boontje - this was sent to me from my friend so not sure where it comes from ?
Loads to post today as I'm looking around for inspiration and there's so much out there sometimes it's overwelling. It feels like everyones done your idea already and if not, I find myself asking if the world needs anymore 'stuff' in it ? I have decided to carry on regardless and put it down to researchers fatigue.

DEWOLF DEBUT
Here is my production line for business cards to give out at my private view on Tuesday evening in Brightion. My company has been christened 'Dewolf' because it is my mothers maiden but also a cool name with an opportunity to have a drawing of a wolf in the logo (photos to come soon).
I had a stamp made at Speedystamps for about £10 which means each card can be individual and have that hand printed feeling.
I didn't want to do postcards as it feels strange to digitally print something I have lovingly screen printed so I have created sample cards instead. These are actual prints cut to A5 with my beautiful new logo stamped on the back. I feel I can say how beautiful this is as the Typography is hand drawn by Claudio Vecchio a talented young graphic designer of "Little Dish" fame (http://www.littledish.co.uk/). I have my very own font that no one else can use. I'm so chuffed! When I look back at the brief I gave it is really spot on, which is a rare thing - I will show this in a later post when I have all the artwork as well. You can just see the wolf illustration below...

NIECES' FLEECES
Check out my nieces left Lois and Sacha's (on the right) - cute green leaf and pink flower fleeces. Modelled here in at the beach in Brightonlingsea this weekend, to celebrate Lois' 3rd bday. All I can say is it was a BIG day with A LOT of fairy cakes, how can you go wrong!?
