A Sea of (recycled) Knittedness

Here are some of my new creations...including my Grumpy Monkey doll! He looks pretty pleased with himself...and a little bit grumpy.

Most of these new toys are made from one 'upcycled' jumper. I haven't wasted any of it; even the hood was made into a squidgy owl.

They will be on sale soon at my folksy shop: www.folksy.com/shops/grumpymonkeycards...just in time for Christmas.

ARC is nestled in the heart of Reddish's community and is so important to the people who attend. Can you see my owls debuting in the top right hand square? Exciting!

Make It in Design - Module 1 2016

Hello! It's been AGES since I posted. It has been a busy time and I decided to take some time to develop my portfolio, invest in my professional development and generally get a bit organised. I have just finished ABSPD Module 1, in which I have begun the journey of developing my characters and illustrations into surface pattern designs. The course is simply a MUST if you are considering a career in design. I can't recommend it highly enough. I will write in more detail later, but for now here is my piece for the typography competition that was open to module 1 alumni. I create character-led illustrations primarily for the greeting card and children's markets so my quirky character I drew for this piece compliments my style. I learnt how to layer up my work and create pattern repeats using Photoshop. Here's a link to the Make It In Design website www.makeitindesign.com
