More final ruff's!!!
















More ruff designs!! I ended up doing so many i'm struggling to choose my favourites!!

Final Ruff Designs!!

Here are just some of the final designs for my year 2 project based around the Edwardian ruff. I thought I should get these up at some point, I'm very pleased with the way they have turned out, and many thanks to my friend for modeling for me!!

Screen printing!!

Well after many months, days and hours of uni work I have finally finished my second year!!!!! As scary as knowing that my third year is just around the corner I am also very excited as I can finally play with my screen printing kit I bought ages ago!!!!!

So after cutting out some stencils, the easiest and best way for beginners, I finally had a go! These are my very first attempts and I’m very happy with them.

I hope to try the more complicated options over the next week so should have more soon!! Will also be attempting to build a clay oven in the garden tomorrow which should be fun, will hopefully post a pic of the finished oven on here if all goes to plan!!

guilding!!!


Well after the success of my cotton linter embossing I thought about guilding the embossed pieces!!

These have turned out really well, even though I did have problems trying to find a polish that wouldn’t get soaked up by the paper!!!

Hope you like them, I’ve just got to find something to do with them!!!
P.S. I will be adding some pictures of my ruffs soon!
