100th day of Daily Photo!!!!!

That's my Daily Photo reached its 100th Day!!!

Can't believe it! This project started with me deciding to take an artistic photograph everyday once I had finished Art School for Summer and  as a sort of personal project.

Since you see something inspiring at least once a day (and when I didn't it made me look for something )and think "oh that would be good to use for a project," or "thats really unusual/strange"  it began a visual diary of daily life. 

Now I've certainly began to notice things I've never noticed before, after a while we become oblivious to the things around us...sometimes just by looking up you would be surprised to see something you have never noticed before.

I was then surprised to get followers and then  being reblogged across the globe, in blogs in New York, London etc... oh so exciting....to think others appreciate your work and are interested.

 Would like to say thanks again to all my followers!

Take a trip to visit my Daily Photograph. 

Fishing for a dream...

Took a trip down the Feugh Falls to see the Salmon jump.

It only takes place over this time of year as the salmon attempt to swim upstream to spawn.

After seeing a few failed attempts it was quite funny yet sad to see these fish flying in the air briefly for a few seconds before bouncing off the waterfall...however for them its a matter of life or death.

Drawing in the moonlight...

“Promises are like the full moon, if they are not respected at once they diminish day by day”

Last night I was sitting at my desk drawing as I saw an arc reflecting on the conservatory roof...after looking out the window I saw the full moon shining bright...

Directly out my bedroom window the moon was shining bright creating a silhouette with the trees in the foreground.

I also then decided to take a long exposure self portrait of myself in the moonlight.

Sometimes I guess inspiration can sometimes come to you...

Edinburgh Fesival.

Decided to go home this weekend to Wishaw and took a last minute  trip with the family to the Edinburgh festival.

While I was there I met up with my friend Holly and we took a walk around taking in the range of culture and atmosphere our capital has to offer.

We are soo lucky to have something as wonderful as the Edinburgh festival in Scotland, the range of shows,exibitions and acts are just unbelievable to be happening in the one city!

I wonder how many Scots really take the time to experience the culture their country has to offer at the Edinburgh festival which is something I instantly noticed not hearing one Scottish accent in the crowd

RIGHT: The worlds most pierced woman...only one of the more peculiar aspects of the festival on the walk of the Royal Mile.

 An excellent day out, would recommend it to anyone!

Art School Summer Project

Well we have just received our summer project for textiles, the summer break is nearly over however better late than never.

Although extremely busy with work at the moment with the release for the New Collection of Collars and Snoods  I have decided to spend a couple of hours (or at least one) a night to get the project going.
The project is to

• Buy Elle & Elle Home magazine
• Create 20 drawings inspired by the magazines
• Write 2 essays on each of the magazines
• Start a fabric bible to refer to costs and where to buy

Luckily the with the work we are doing for the winter collection of Collars and our visit to Paris in September the fabric samples shouldn't be too difficult to gather.

These are some of the drawings I have completed so far for this project.....Don't worry I wont bore you with the essays.....yet
