A spot of drawing

 An attempt at drawing my mate resting his hungover head.

The bear and outline of the man have no relation to the drawing on the right of the man's face, happened to start drawing on the same page that is all. Although the bear and figure outline, after some photoshop work, have fused together to create an image that I am printing on the back of my Christmas cards as a kind of logo.

The Logs

For two of the wall spaces during my exhibition I decided to revive a couple of old wooden logs that were ready for the fire. I saved them and changed their destiny into decorative pieces that can be hung on the wall! They are for sale too but only on collection as sending them in the post would be far too expensive. They were fun to do, I've got a couple more naked logs that are calling out to be painted....my email address is devorah_hall@hotmail.co.uk...get in touch!

Stumbled upon this

I totally forgot about these purses/bags I made for a group of little girls when I was living in Milan, Italy, in 2006, at the age of 18. I had just received my first sewing machine, the one I still use today, as a gift from some lovely ladies, as a Christmas present. 

I stumbled upon these photos through my old 'Photobucket' account that I also forgot I had set up. Thought it might be rather nice to post them on here to keep a record of them.

My first exhibition is up!

It has been a very busy month for me in the run up to my first exhibition at the Arts Picturehouse cinema in town, the theme I set myself was treehouses. 

I loved the process and the deadline definitely helped my motivation. Though each piece took much longer than I thought, so I really must learn to start earlier. The whole experience was a learning curve, I'm really glad I did it. 

Here are five of the pieces that are hanging up until the 15th November. If you Cambridge based do pop in and take a look, the exhibition is up in the bar, pictures soon to follow.

I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who supported me in this and who was able to attend the opening night!

OhhDeer.com Competition Cushions!

Hey everyone who loves a bit of soft furnishings!

Through a recent competition my two cushion designs are available to be purchased through OhhDeer.com for a limited time only, of three weeks, making the last day to purchase the 28th October. If they are popular enough there is a chance of them being permanently sold in stockists such as the Tate and Saatchi Gallery!!!

It would be incredible if you could make a purchase of one or both or as many as you wish, of the two designs I have entered. Pleeease!

Also if you can direct as many of your friends and family towards my cushions I would be really very happy!

I feel all frazzled because I just completed the cat cushion design minutes before the deadline, fingers crossed.
