Tissue Papering London!

So now on week 4 of Lilla Rogers MATS course and I am now thinking that maybe I can work with tissue paper in a way to make images, excited by the prospect and hope I can continue to develop this idea, this week project was to create an editorial map of the town or village where you live.

Editorial!

Week 4 of MATS is editorial week, looking forward to the assignment tomorrow, so far we had to play around with type and our home town! Hand Type is something I dread but my hometown I love so should be fun.
A lot more snipping and sticking going on as my ideas develop!

Just uploaded this weeks assignment for the MATS course, each week becomes more exciting and I am so happy that I am trying something new and loving every minute. Next week is half term holidays in the U.K so could be an interesting week!

Scrapbooking!

This week on MATS we are tackling the challenge which is scrapbooking, something I know nothing about and something I have never done, so should be interesting, the mini assignment is too study vintage camera's and type writers!
Very curious to see what the brief is tomorrow!

Gone Camping

After lots of cutting, sticking and creating icons, I finished my second week of  the Lilla Rogers MATS course, every week I learn something new and remember something I should of included!
Looking forward to next week now.
