Handmade & Bound

Handmade & Bound was on today at the lovely venue of St Bride's off Fleet Street. It was a very fine array of all sorts of handmade books. I will be posting about some of the pieces I collected and those that I yearned to own.

A BIG THANKYOU!

The Interview

Things have been a little bit quiet here on the Feltbug blog, but there has been all sorts going on behind the scenes. In September I decided to apply to do an MA in Fine Art at Camberwell College of Art. This was thanks to a friend who told me that places were still available even though the course was about to start and encouraged me to apply. It took me a couple of weeks to write my proposal and gather my work together. Luckily thanks to blogging and flickr my recent work has all been documented and recorded which made the application process much easier. I applied, got an interview, was offered a place and started 3 weeks ago. I am still reeling from the last few weeks. I have wanted to do an MA ever since I left college 27 years ago, so to have finally got in is a dream come true.

Thankyou to everyone who has always been so encouraging both here and on flickr. It has made a huge difference to my creative life to have this platform to share ideas and also to find inspiration from so many wonderful people from around the world.
