{weekend goodness}

It's been a while since I last blogged and I feel I have slightly neglected the blog over the last two weeks, as I am so close to finishing University now and I have a huge amount of work to be finished. I thought it would be a good idea to have this bank holiday weekend blog post as a quick update as to what has been going on.

+ Firstly I gave a sneaky peek into a secret project here which I can now reveal. It was a hand made wedding guest book/photo album for a customer, which had papercut designs on the pages within it, and space for polaroids to be placed. (photos below)

+ I have been busy working on some new products, which will be coming to the mrYen shop very soon!

+ I have been asked to take part in a local exhibition, with space to sell some papercuts of which some will be new designs which will also be available in the mrYen shop on Tuesday.

.....and I will be finishing University on Friday!

Hope you are enjoying your long weekend!

{weekly update}

This weekly update idea is not really working too well as I have only done one post in two weeks....and now its getting into the third week! I am busy with University work so much now that I will keep them short & sweet, with links to things and some nice images too.

Since the last weekly update post:

*I have had to finish all the final edits to my dissertation and then bind it and submit it, which is all done and completed!
*Started a collaboration with illustrator Natuski Otani.
*I have had my work featured on Aqua Velvet {thanks amy!}
*It has been Valentines day and I made this card for my valentine.
*I have finished my Alice in Wonderland Dust Jackets for my book cover project at University, which you can see here and made some papercut bookmarks to accompany them here.
*I have updated my etsy shop with the bookmarks for sale.
*My dust jackets and bookmarks featured in an interview I did with DigitalArts magazine website here.
*And added these photos as favourites on flickr - 1. 2. 3.

Phew! This kind of post might not look like much but it takes a lot of organisation to get all this together. Next time I will make it look good too, but for now here is my favourite illustration by Natsuki.
