I admit, I'm on so many social sites that you could piece together the history of my life if you looked hard enough (thankfully the Harry Potter film Director takes over the majority of the David Yates Google search results haha). <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Where I draw the line is with people being able to look through my Facebook history. The account is linked to so many members of my family and friends that I need it locked down. Now we all know about making your account private, but I recently discovered this may only apply to future posts and that strangers still may be able to view any posts/photos/videos you have in your history. If you go to settings > privacy, you will see a button which makes all old posts limited to your current security setting. Mine is only allowed to be viewed by friends, and so now only my friends can view my posts - even the ones dating way too far back when it was popular to like a thousand different Facebook groups, and poking was a popular function...</div>

For the last few years, I have wanted to do something on the side of my full-time job that could one day grow into something bigger enabling me to go it alone. I have never been one to want to go out searching for clients as for now that is too time-consuming on top of everything else. I have always loved the idea of experimenting with screen printing, and although my collection of things is growing each month (ended up with a drying rack last week) it is just too expensive to get everything at the moment. So for now I am in the process of deciding what it is I definitely want to do with my company Strawberry&Co, but this comes with the other problems - I need some space to work...<br />
<br />
I have looked everywhere and I mean everywhere for studio space that I can rent as a place to escape to. Somewhere that I can focus on nothing related to my job, or home, just somewhere to make a real go for it in being creative. It seems that if you live in Manchester and London then you have a great choice of little places to choose from, but when it comes to Liverpool you just have to have a lot of luck. Everyone in the city has heard of the famous <a href="http://www.baltictriangle.co.uk/" target="_blank">Baltic Triangle</a>, an area of regeneration that is saturated with creative businesses - it's THE place to be and so when I discovered Ninety Squared I was too excited for the possibility of having space with them.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.ninetysquared.com/" target="_blank">Ninety Squared CIC</a> are based in the Elevator Studios in the city and they offer space to independent and startup businesses, and I am happy to say that at the end of July I will have my own space there. Granted I will be taking it slow for a couple of months as designing for a theme park during the busiest time of the year and setting up something on the side would be the death of me if I went in all guns blazing haha. The people who I have been in contact with at Ninety Squared seem lovely and the space just has the feel that makes you want to be creative as there are so many other people from a range of areas on the same floor. I haven't been this excited for things to come in a long time!<br />

More news to come.<br />

In the last couple of months, I must have tested about 30 different variations of widget to display Instagram posts on my blog and none of them have come up trumps. The biggest gripe being none of them ever want to link directly to my Instagram enabling people to follow me. That is, until now.<br />

Tint isn't just a cool way of showing Instagram posts, but a way of showing every one of your social media feeds - in whatever way you want. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is so simple. You join their site, link your social media accounts, and then they will collect them into one feed that you can display wherever you want. I only have the free account for now that allows you to add 2 accounts to a feed, but if you upgrade there are so many combinations it is unreal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The below image shows how to customise it so you can embed the HTML into blogger, and to the lower right of your screen in my sidebar you can see it in action.</div>

Enjoy!</div>

<br />
So a couple of months ago I had a handful of interviews for different jobs. The variety of the lot was crazy, and it turns out the one that I wanted the most I ended up getting. So after two and a half years at North Liverpool Academy I am now the digital Graphic Designer for the Gulliver's Group. I am part of a very small team of support staff and in charge of all digital design work; website, email marketing and external advertising of three theme parks and seven attractions. So all in all a pretty big jump from the education sector.<br />
<br />
Never having to deal with printing (or fussy teachers) = sheer bliss!<br />
<br />
This far gone I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge of it all (the design aspects anyway) and the ease that comes from only having to get design approval from a couple of people is brilliant. For the first time in a long time, I feel as though I am appreciated for the skills that I want to keep developing. The team I work with are also as down to earth as the people I used to be with so that has also made it an easy transition.<br />
<br />
It's not all sunshine and rainbows though, I am loathing the extra commuting time each day. People think it is no big deal but with the added half hour a day I work and the 50 minutes there and back, that's over 2 hours a day I am losing compared to my old job - Ludacris! Even <a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/wellbeing/measuring-national-well-being/commuting-and-personal-well-being--2014/art-commuting-and-personal-well-being.html#tab-2--Key-Points" target="_blank">this 2014 report</a> from the Office for National Statistics says;<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Commuters have lower life satisfaction, a lower sense that their daily activities are worthwhile, lower levels of happiness and higher anxiety on average than non-commuters.</blockquote>
This clearly warrants me to moan haha!<br />
<br />
Anyway as the saying goes "The best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time" - This rings so true with how I feel at the moment because God knows that <u><b><i>a lot</i></b></u> needs doing over the next coming months trying to bring things up to date. I am however still managing to learn more about CSS, bootstrap, MailChimp and marketing while on the job so will hopefully be posting lots that I find from now on.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06416354628664666382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706735411649118343.post-88747739722717589312015-06-29T12:14:00.000+01:002016-03-17T16:28:09.854+00:00Jane Foster - Designer, Illustrator and All Round Super Creative<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibRs-BLQk6Mb09A50Wd9l0BeJr68L14NwxhTX_TQsh7vhKqaB2q3xArle9eRwLRrEgY0iTGT-xNTQh95fJAAtqeasiaa3UTzrc1h0JE2zbXdwh3H95Acr_cFmMJuOkrI8toEOeAavVZU7E/s1600/JANE+FOSTER-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibRs-BLQk6Mb09A50Wd9l0BeJr68L14NwxhTX_TQsh7vhKqaB2q3xArle9eRwLRrEgY0iTGT-xNTQh95fJAAtqeasiaa3UTzrc1h0JE2zbXdwh3H95Acr_cFmMJuOkrI8toEOeAavVZU7E/s1600/JANE+FOSTER-01.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="p1">Jane lives in Devon, UK with her little family in which they have their own studio in their 60s home (which is enviably gorgeous I might add). She has plenty of strings to her bow, being a designer, illustrator, screen printer, author and manages her online presence. I’m not sure how she fits everything in, but it just goes to show you that hard work pays off in all walks of life.<br />

</div><div class="p2"><br />
</div><div class="p1">I’m always one drawn to bright colours, and if you team that with bold designs you’re onto a winner. The thing that stood out to me with Jane’s work is the cleanliness and simplicity of everything she does while still mixing up a vibrant colour palette. It always has the right balance.</div><div class="p2"><br />
</div><div class="p1">Jane’s talent hasn’t gone unnoticed and even the largest of companies want a piece of it. Ever noticed this little beauty in a shop you may have heard of... Ikea? Her Fish Supper poster was picked up for sale in their stores from 2013 and I knew it was her work as soon as I spotted it.<br />

By the end of a working week, my brain is pretty much completely mush, and although my ambition for creativity is always there my ability to think about English grammar can sometimes be lacking. So when it comes to things such a blog post titles and what needs capitalising (or to any American's out there; capitalizing) then there is a super fast and simple site that does just that - <a href="http://titlecapitalization.com/" target="_blank">http://titlecapitalization.com</a><br />
<br />
It may be sheer laziness, but it has come in handy a few times before now, enjoy!<br />

What now seems like forever ago (a few months) my friend Steph did something truly brilliant. She quit her job, and decided to follow her true calling in the field of theatre. I consider this to be a large factor in making me leave my old job since I saw Steph so happy doing what she loves.<br />

<span style="background-color: none;">Thought Plane Theatre is a company based in the North West of England and consists of two amazingly talented women; Steph Green and Sarah Weston. You can tell almost instantly how well they both get along and this is further reflected in the creativity and ingenuity of their interactive performances. From a history of working with local communities, theatre groups and even in stand-up comedy, Thought Plane has a solid foundation that has allowed for the constant flexibility of their performances.</span><br />

Their show 'Prefer Not to Say' once again received recognition as it was chosen Critic's Pick by City Beat, as well as being acclaimed by many others. None of this success comes much of a surprise considering how hard the duo work to make their performances come across so effortless while still managing to convey a story.</span><br />

<br />
I am one of those people (and I know of quite a few) that is constantly writing bits of information down in lists. They usually end up getting lost or so messy that I end up writing another list but neat enough to satisfy my need for everything to look organised. A couple of weeks ago I saw that Steven Fry tweeted about a company being taken over my Microsoft, that company being Wunderlist. I had never heard of it before but I quickly discovered that is a task management tool... so a to-do list.<br />
<br />
Now I know there are thousands of apps out there that you can use, but none I have been able to stick to for a decent period of time. I think where Wunderlist has succeeded is the fact it can be accessed EVERYWHERE. It is an app on my phone, on my iPad, Chrome add-on, can be viewed in a browser and they're just the ones that I use.<br />
<br />
As you can see below on the browser version you have your lists grouped on the left hand side, list contents in the centre and when you clock on the different items it comes up with an info pane where you can set reminders/deadlines/adds subtasks and upload images. I split mine into work, personal, and because I am planning a big London break that is one too.<br />

As you can see above I have even added information about my upcoming Madame Tussauds visit and included the pdf confirmation so that I won't have to go searching through emails to find it.<br />
<br />
I am going away with my brother and best mate and so have also added them to the London list which allows they to see the edits I make in real-time as well as make contributions. Granted this feature is mainly for work collaborations on projects, but it sure comes in handy to keep track of a city break or holiday!<br />

With Wunderlist it has fit into my daily schedule and has enabled me to have a much clearer head at the same time.<br />
<br />
Just for reference, here is what the app looks like on my Galaxy Note 4:<br />

Now I know that there are plenty of apps out there that you can use to organise your life such as main rivals Evernote and WorkFlowy but at the end of the day I find the overall polished interface of simplicity of Wunderlist to suite my taste better. Being a Graphic Designer it's got to look good as well as working properly haha.<br />
<br />
Go and try it out, you won't regret it!<br />

No need to say much more about what has gone on in Liverpool this weekend. I'm pretty sure that it has been hard to escape the constant mention of the Giant Spectacular as well as ignore the hundreds of thousands of people that filled the city. So here is a farewell to the giants and the last of my photos from today!<br />

About this time last week I reminded you guys of the massive event that is currently taking over the city of Liverpool (and cutting off roads for me to get home...) <a href="http://www.lovethydesigner.com/2014/07/giant-spectacular-memories-of-august.html">The Giant Spectacular!</a><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well today I ventured across the water for a few hours to see friends and I despite the hoards of people and it being so hot I managed to get a few pictures of the giant marionettes. The grandma was still in situ outside St George's Hall in a wheelchair and after a morning of walking through Newsham Park, the little girl was having a rest outside the mouth of the Queensway tunnel. Also lying asleep next to her was her dog Xolo!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is still plenty of time to get into the city to see more of the story, I'll once again put links to the routes at the bottom of this post. I recommend getting into the city by train because it would be a nightmare to drive into at the moment and Merseyrail are adding extra carriages to their trains over the weekend to deal with it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
More pictures to come tomorrow!</div>

<br />
So it has been a very long time coming, the thought of me wanting to set up my own business on the side of my current job has been in the pipeline for almost two years. There are many things that have held me back from getting started and primarily it's me doubting myself. It is far easier to think of all the negatives of what could come out of having my own business.<br />
<br />
Starting in the final year of Uni I wanted to get back to doing less corporate work and focus on (shamefully put) pretty things... Things that sparked an initial gut feeling of happiness, the playful side of design in which I can have fun. After friends let me down and the idea of wedding invitations got toyed with the what seemed like forever, I have eventually decided to focus on something that I love, for the time being anyway.<br />
<br />
Anyone that knows me will know how much I love flowers. Ever since I was young my parents have been keen gardeners and this has passed over to me. Like design work, every flower and plant can convey different emotions; shape and colour theory come into the garden just as much as in the graphic design world. So what I want to focus on for now is high quality, but cheap art prints in limited edition runs that change throughout different seasons.<br />
<br />
My company of Strawberry & Co Ltd has been left since I registered it early last year and now with the refreshed look I hope over the next few weeks to get selling!<br />

As you may have seen before on the blog I am a fan of the method of screen printing, not that I have managed to do enough of it myself. There are a few artists or websites that I think should get more recognition for their work and seeing as I am starting to collect a few prints each month I'm going to show them on Love Thy Designer.<br />
<br />
The first artist is one that I can regularly look to to find something to fill a space on the wall and I know it will be of brilliant quality. His name is Dan McCarthy and he is based in Massachusetts, America. Sadly I'm not a huge fan of the work he has been doing this year as it's a little too dark for my taste and walls, but his back catalogue has some gorgeous landscape prints that include his signature (to me it's his signature) tree silhouette style.<br />
<br />
Below are some examples from his website and one of the few I have, he's one to keep checking back on as he more often than not does a print or two each month.<br />

If you know me at all then you will know I love taking photos. I can honestly say that I am in the category of photographers that actually can't use a camera to its true potential and act more like a Japanese tourist in a new city most of the time. Omg, lets take a picture of that crazy looking pidgeon from 15 angles...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving onto what this post is actually about. An action in Adobe Photoshop is able to record your process so that it can then be played back on numerous other documents, or you can download actions that other people have created, this saving you valuable time and effort when it come to editing your photos. Now this isn't a tutorial blog and if it was I'm pretty sure people would die in the process of following one of my tutorials, so here is a great website that tells you how to use actions in layman's terms - <a href="http://www.crispphotoworks.com/what-are-photoshop-actions-and-how-do-you-use-them/" target="_blank">LINK!</a></div>

I came upon a talented creative called Tom Anders this week when I was looking through the MANY different bundles that you can buy across the internet and I just had to share him with you. He is a freelance designer based in the UK and his work is brilliant from what I have seen. Sure you can download free actions, but I can vouch for the quality of the bundles that Tom has to offer and they're really priced low for what you get.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few examples created from the bundle I bought from his Creative Market -</div>

Who would have thought that TWO YEARS have passed since this amazing company came to the city of Liverpool. This is just a quick reminder as it is only a few days away!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you aren't aware of the event then in short, French street theatre company <a href="http://www.royal-de-luxe.com/en/" target="_blank">Royal De Luxe</a> are bringing three giant marionettes (the new grandmother, the little girl and her dog, Xolo) to Liverpool as part of the 5 day event to commemorate the role of Liverpudlians heroism during the First World War. The city is proud to be host to one of the UK's landmark WW1 events titled - Memories of August 1914. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The main event doesn't start till Friday the 25th, <b>but if you are near St George's Hall from Wednesday the 23rd the public will be able to see the grandmother sleeping before she starts her journey.</b><b> </b>I will no doubt remind people again before the main event next week but for now here are some useful links for news and updates -</div>

We were Paris bound on Monday and came back on Wednesday and it would seem that in this short time not a lot can be done, but anyone that knows me will know that I go into full tourist mode and boy were we knackered. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We stayed in Pantin, just North of the centre of Paris and throughout the visit we managed to squeeze in a trip up the Eiffel Tower (top platform, a must every time you're in the city), a stroll along the <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Champs-Élysées before </span>adventuring inside the Arc de Triomphe up the never-ending spiral staircases and souvenir shopping. This was all in addition to seeing 30 Seconds to Mars on the Tuesday evening, more about that another time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've only ever been to Paris during the Winter and it still manages to impress with its beauty, still not on par with London when it comes to major cities, but still my break was </span>ineffable<span style="font-family: inherit;">!</span><br />

The natural port of call for anyone in the area is to go and join the festivities in Chinatown, across the water in Liverpool. The main reason I wanted to venture over was so that I can continue to learn how to use my DSLR, but in reality it was always going to be the food that got me to stick around.<div>

We arrived about half 11 and right through Bold Street to Chinatown was packed. I asked a security guard when the parade was going to take place and he said in a few hours. Less than 5 minutes later it began, perfect timing or what!</div>

<div>
On the day we didn't manage to get round everywhere as we were also in town for shopping. However 'Bon Bon Bakery' was still a must visit as their custard filled buns are a necessity on any day of the year, and the shop was packed today especially.</div>

A sixth form trip was booked by Emily to take a group of students to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool city centre and I managed to be one of the members of staff to go; AWESOME, because I oddly do love trips!<br />

We were greeted by a young tour guide, sadly I can't remember her name but she was brilliant. Taking us all through the gallery and on to the David Hockney exhibition that is currently on display till March. I'm not the kind of person that can spend hours looking at art, and I'm also not the sort that has a huge database of artists in my head that I can reference (Art teachers in NLA make me jealous with their HUGE varied knowledge of artists). However the guide managed to keep everyone's attention with fun facts and a summary of Hockney's life. I had no idea that someone could be so obsessed with Cliff Richard... eurgh!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The piece of his work that I most prefer (below) is 'Peter getting out of Nick's pool', done in 1966 and won the John Moore's Painting Prize the following year. It's the simplicity of the artwork that I enjoy more than his other work as I think it fits well into a designers preferences over that of a fine artists. If you go make sure to check out the original photo that Hockney took inspiration from, Peter had quite the arse unlike the painting haha! </div>

<div>
After the tour we were handed over to another guide (I'm so awful with names), and then given a few different drawing tasks that involved us staring at some of the work on display and drawing from memory, continuous line drawings, wrong-handed and even carbon drawing; all college level stuff but still great to do. Afterwards we spent the remainder of the day drawing a life model, clothed I might add thankfully, not that Hockney would have approved since this model definitely wasn't attractive, but attraction isn't a key element when developing skill, is it. </div>

(Any images I took sadly can't be added to LTD Blog as it contains students, I will however include the embarrassingly bad drawings that I did from the session when I get back into work next week)</div>

Here is the link to the section of the Walker website, it includes info on the exhibition as well as other free Hockney events that they are holding. I would highly recommend a tour as it brings his story to life.</div>

Last year I took the plunge and I bought myself a DSLR. I have always loved taking pictures and the majority of the time I take them in a candid style because I like being random and snapping anything and everything gives me more of a chance at capturing memories.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'd normally have done a whole post about the reasons why I chose the camera as I am a tech geek that spends way too much time researching before buying. For the price the Nikon 3200 would have suited me just as well but I have friends with Nikons and don't want to constantly be comparing cameras to one another. Also the Canon 700D seems to have a slight upper hand on the video side of things.<br />
<br />
Back to the day out. I am more than a novice at photography, haven't as of yet figured or even cared about what aperture is, because frankly as long as it's reasonably well composed and looks alright to me, that's all that really matters. There are places that remind you of being a kid and many of those places for me are in North Wales. So this Sunday I twisted my parents' arms and we had a family day out to three of the main places that I love in the country; Llandudno, Conwy and Betws Y Coed. The sun was out and the bakeries all open (I love anything sold in a bakery haha).<br />
<br />
Just so you know a few of the foodie places I'd recommend are;<br />
<br />
<h4>
Llandudno</h4>
<br />
<a href="http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g190724-d3434724-Reviews-Take_A_Break_Cafe-Llandudno_Conwy_County_North_Wales_Wales.html" target="_blank">Take A Break Cafe</a> - It's pretty hard to choose a decent little place to eat in the seaside resort as there is so much choose from. This cafe is a little gem with great prices and fast service and I would highly recommend it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g190724-d1226663-Reviews-The_Cottage_Loaf-Llandudno_Conwy_County_North_Wales_Wales.html" target="_blank">The Cottage Loaf</a> - Need a bit more space? Then this pub has a great selection of food and is handily right next to a car park in the centre of town.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Conwy</b></h4>
<br />
<a href="http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186437-d1890173-Reviews-The_Archway_Fish_Chip_Shop-Conwy_Snowdonia_National_Park_North_Wales_Wales.html" target="_blank">The Archyway Fish & Chips</a> - If you go to Conwy for any reason, and feel even the slightest bit hungry EAT HERE. A chip shop which has a cafe attached so that you can eat in, and the fish is pretty much on my top 5 places to eat it in the UK.<br />
<br />
Popty Conwy Bakery - This bakery has to have THE BEST vanilla slices in the world, a big statement but trust me. There are even customers that come over from the Isle of Man to collect their orders of the slices!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Enough with the food, overall I had a great day and if you have yet to go to any of the three places then shame on you. I remember a colleague in work had never even heard of Conwy before, people need to visit the places on their doorstep. Whether it be the cable cars on Llandudno's Great Orme or a walk around the grounds of Conwy Castle, there's plenty to do!<br />
<br />

I have a good feeling about the year ahead and I can feel that I am going to get stuck into designing again. It's a struggle now, being out of Uni for well over a year and still trying to visit design events or even get my creative juices flowing, but with a few ideas in the pipeline and me saving for a mortgage I need to begin working harder than ever!<br />

I haven't done a post in months and I thought what better way to start things off again is with a brand new look to the blog. The previous image didn't look too outdated to be fair, but with a fresh outlook on 2014 I thought it would be a great kick-start to get me blogging more regularly. There's nothing meaningful or that can be read into with the new wordmark, but I just prefer the style of it compared to the old one. The banner at the top of the site is actually made up of the original red one and then after a 5 second delay flicks through a further 72 hues before starting again. SEVENTY TWO!!! It took a long time (little effort) to create it. </div>

The city was encapsulated by all of the things going on, streets full of exhibitions, performances, open studios, and tours that celebrated creativity.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Personally I believe that things could have been planned a little better, as I got the impression that you could spend the evening doing things right past midnight. Yet after half 10 we were both struggling to find things to do. A lot of the workshops going on were earlier on and so we had missed them while getting from work etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We still had a great catch up and the random (but free) buses that the city had on were good, especially with the band that was playing in our one haha!</div>

Hopefully next year the events go on for a couple of days so that we get to see more. If there is a Light Night 2014.</div>

It will end up being something to do with the stationary industry and so lately I have been looking at all different kinds of wedding invitations. This is all for another post so I will get down to the foil I bought.<br />
<br />
I have always been a fan of foil printing. Whenever I see a book or piece of design work that has incorporated it, I instantly think it adds a bit of quality. So when I found out that you can easily replicate it using a few basic things I was all up for trying it out.<br />
<br />
What you need is:<br />
<ul>
<li>Laser transfer foil.</li>
<li>A laser printer.</li>
<li>A laminator.</li>
</ul>
<br />
That's it. Most design students I know have access to the latter 2, and the foil is available online for a fiver. I would post the link to where I got mine but I am not entirely happy with this batch so will update this post in the future if I manage to get the process down to a tee. For now though I thought I would show you my quick results.<br />
<br />
What you do is print out your document with the parts that you want to cover in foil in black. Then cover the black parts with the foil, cover with another sheet of paper and feed through a laminator. The heat will bind the foil to the black area of the printout and you should be able to pull away the excess. Ideally you are supposed to use a greaseproof type of paper to cover the foil when putting into the laminator and I think this may be why my outcome was slightly patchy due to the grain of paper I used to cover it. <br />
<br />

As you can see, the foil is grainy in places and you can see the original black print below it. When I get a proper design to try the foil out with I will use some greaseproof paper and hopefully the foil will be a solid block. It actually looks better in the flesh than it does in the phone pictures above.<br />
<br />
I have some Kraft Paper on the way too, so mixing that and this foil will be a fun experiment!<br />

Last month I managed to get a ticket with Katie (colleague) for a teachers workshop that was going on at Tate Liverpool. It was part of the Glam! exhibition that is currently there until the 12th of May (haven't been to it yet so a post about that is to come). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The workshop was run by Jennifer Collier. She is a magician of all things paper, making some awesome products out of the material. My personal favourite are her cameras;</div>

Online she states;</div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My practice focuses on creating work from paper; by
bonding, waxing, trapping and stitching I produce unusual paper ‘fabrics’,
which are used to explore the ‘remaking’ of household objects. The papers are
treated as if cloth, with the main technique employed being stitch; a
contemporary twist on traditional textiles. The papers themselves serve as both
the inspiration and the media for my work, with the narrative of the books and
papers suggesting the forms. I tend to find items then investigate a way in
which they can be reused and transformed; giving new life to things that would
otherwise go unloved or be thrown away.</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
I did have a few examples to put on here but sadly Cho (my Akita) thought it would be fun to eat wax covered teabags... The technique consists of carefully opening a tea bag, removing the tea and then placing whatever you fancy inside from feathers to fabrics. Then melting a wax candle over the bag before finally smoothing the wax over with the iron. Jennifer uses this technique when making her clothes such as the decorative dress below;</div>

The techniques I learnt will definitely get used in projects in the future, whether it be the wax melting, experimenting with laminator pouches or cellotape image transfers. I haven't braved doing any with the kids in school just yet haha. When I do I will post the results on here, but for now check out the two websites below and if you get the opportunity to go to a workshop by Jennifer then you'll have a great time!</div>

Some of them were awesome, sadly I didn't have my camera on me so the phone photos aren't the best and I didn't go around all 101 eggs sadly (wasn't the best day for weather). If they happen to turn up in your city then I would recommend checking them out as they really are something different to see and it is all to raise money for charity.<br />

Katie, one of my colleagues has also done it as part of her degree and so when I found a cheap hobby kit on eBay the department bought one as it would also come in handy with students that wanted to do some experimenting... along with me haha. The kit is <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-SCREEN-PRINTING-HOBBY-KIT-SCREEN-INK-SQUEEGEE-CLAMP-MORE-/261182750987?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3ccfb4810b" target="_blank">HERE</a>, I'm not affiliated with it in any way but I can say that the woman is very helpful and it is a great small kit for starting out as it's under £35 with postage and includes a free ink.<br />
<br />
So when I had a break I managed to quickly draw a random outlined picture and cut it out with a craft knife before giving it a go. It did feel a little like Christmas, getting to open a new toy and play with it first. The outcome was pretty good and although the paper stencil couldn't hold up to much use I was surprised at how crisp the print was.<br />
