The Return of Sockhead

Revvin' it Up And Making Ado

Some lettering from an old sketchbook. It was made by the hand of Alan Garvie in Friederichshain, Berlin out of old kitschy DDR wallpaper.

Good news for the New Year

The Mayoress of Cloud Town

Messing around & preliminary sketches for a new logo.

Fun With Giant Fruit

Snapshots from a field trip to Studio Spécialités in Little Italy - where it's Christmas all year 'round and you can buy a giant fake cauliflower for 150$... and so much more. The fake food cart was by far my favorite, and there are enough Christmas trees to blow your mind. The window display people all get their goods here, and they supply the snow for the Ogilvy's traditional Christmas window display.

You all know I love fake cakes.

Icing on the Cake-Hat

Just a couple of snapshots my table/end of year display at last week's vernissage - oh yes, and the famous cake hat that I knitted and hand-sewed. A lot of people tried this on over the course of the evening (including the director of my school) so there are certainly a few more pictures of it floating out there that I haven't seen yet.

You can see a bit of the "icing-flowers" reflected in the mirror at the back.

Summer Schemings

Some more pattern experiments from the past couple of weeks (click to make bigger).

I've also started working on some medieval-type border ornaments which is really fun - I'll post those a little bit later.

Tonight is also the end of year show at the Centre des Textiles Contemporains - I've got some work set up there, and will be showing visitors around the school throughout the evening. Everyone is welcome, and the show 'Passage Haptique' is up until June 13th. My and my fellow textile students' work will shown until June 2nd... then it will be our turn in one year to show our final projects!
