Thames Fun 2011

 Verdict: THAMES FESTIVAL 2011 was bloody good fun!

What an amazing location! Right at the base of Tower Bridge one of London's most iconic structures!

Thank you for all the people that came to see me, chatted and bought my wares. It was a fab weekend filled with boats, tourists, hot dogs and contending with the wind (challenging when you have screen prints on your table).

Artsmart- thank you too for all the opportunities and support you send my way!

Asian Inspiration

I thought I would just share with you a couple more photos I took in Vietnam and Thailand. It was such an amazing inspirational journey...there are too many photos to choose from. Here is just a snippet.....

Vietnam and Thailand

 Greetings All!

I have been away from blogging land for such a long time..and here is why! I have been travelling!

This was my 1st experience in Asia ( I can tick it off the list now!) and it was spectacular! I have never been so surprised, challenged, out of my comfort zone, inspired, amused, gobsmacked in one trip.

Thank goodness I had a group of very special friends to share it with. So if you have yet to do 'Asia' I suggest you get on it......here is my top 5 for your trip.
1) Carefully select the group to travel with! Anyone who claims they don't like noodles or rice is out immediately. People with good knowledge of card games in a bonus. Good bant, no mood swings v important.
2) Get yourself a guide book....you won't pay any attention to the book until you are in the actual country then within seconds it will turn into your bible.
3)Take an amazballs camera with you. yes that really expensive one you bought that you are scared to damage. This is after, the reason you bought the bloody thing.
4) Say 'Yes'. So you are out of the hum drum of your normal life...time to experience everything...so you better start saying yes to things. NB this does not apply to snakes blood, ignore 'The Beach'.
5)Dress the part, embrace the filth and and go with the flow. If the locals stare, just stare back...this will land you in a 5 minute starring contest with a middle aged Vietnamese woman on a non air conditioned bus but will certainly pass a little time while your body attempts to survive in 42C heat! Your a local now! Do as they do!

 Print designers watch out.........IT IS INSPIRING! see below just a tiny snippet of great patterns I found! x x x x

ARTSMART- SUCCESS!

 Artsmart based fun!

 Fake faced zebra cushion was a big crowd pleaser!

 Unveiling the new collage canvases! The birdy one sold! So off it goes to its new home!

Hello Y'all!

Artsmart was blimin' great! Sunshine, hoards of art looking people and a collection of 100 fab-u-lous stalls! Here are some pics for you to enjoy if you couldn't make it along! We had our screen prints, cushions, tees and canvases out and sending them out into the world couldn't be more fun!

The excellent combinations of stalls meant there was definitely something for everyone and it meant I had some shopping to do aswell!!

Thanks to everyone for the support! More pics to come about some gems I saw there!
