Polaroid

I spent a few hours yesterday procrastinating instead of doing work and I spent most of the time looking about on ebay for polaroid film. I found this website: the-impossible-project.com which is a group of people looking to produce the film again, although not quite as we know it. There is hope yet for instant film! Hurrah!

twins

In our first year as part of fundraising we made some zines to sell at shows. This was my contribution to one about birth: some little felt conjoined twins. I do spend as much time as I can making silly little creatures, mostly for friends as opposed to profit but recently I've been thinking of selling them.

Dungeness

This is one of a whole film of polaroids that I shot at Dungeness last summer. It is one of the weirdest and beautiful places that I have ever been to. It's home to a nuclear power plant and dozens of painted wooden houses, and the beach is literally covered in old boats and abandoned fishing equipment. And also home to Derek Jarman. It was so unbelievably quiet and still, there weren't even waves in the sea that day.

lovely letterpress

This is just a little something I did in letterpres the other day. These were in the tray for odds and ends that have no homes : ( which is a shame because I think they are gorgeous and I wish the rest of them were there. 

cross stitch!

Another little hobby of mine. I love cross stitch, especially silly decorative letters like this. I'm finishing of a quilt my grandma started 40 years ago, and it's inspired me to start one of my own which is already featuring quite a bit of this lettering. Hope it doesn't take 40 years and 2 generations to finish though!

O

This is just a little something that I did in letterpress a while ago. I love the Gill sans O and the letterpress has a whole load of wood cut type in Gill. The o in the middle is Caslon, also wood and also beautiful. I love all the imperfections in wood type. 

Daily Miscellany

Today is the first day of spring. I took this on the first day of spring last year. I didn't take any photos today : (
