Oh i almost forgot to mention how the craft fairs have been going, the answer being wondeful! The other designers are lovely people and its a wonderful chance to meet and discuss ideas. The night before the first craft fair i remember looking at some of the other designers work and feeling self doubt, afterall this was going to be the first thing i have done without university guidance behind me but it was nothing like i expected! I recieved good comments about my designs and nothing can fill a designer with more happiness...nothing, well except chocolate perhaps...i also met laura fairbrother. The designer whom i mentioned prior to the fair! Laura is an unbelievable talent, her fabric work is quite beautiful and that girl can sew. Her stuffed animals are very sophisitiocated as is her colour pallet and illustration work, its always good to meet someone whos work you admire especially if, like laura they are a lovely person too. I look forward to seeing some of her new work and hopefully doing a craft fair with her again sometime...
Hmmmm, i wonder is she would like someone to go into business with *smiles*
