Textiles.

I love textiles. I love looking at them, I love feeling them, I love making things with them.
Mainly everything I've made so far has been from felt. I remember making storyboards with felt when I was younger and it never really lost its appeal. It's cheap, it's easy to use and it's colourful. It makes everything you make look simple and it makes even the simple things look really effective.
One of the first things I made was this applique.




It was for a t-shirt I was making as a homeage to a band called Pony Up that I really liked at the time. It's not so clear in this scan, but you can just make out the word 'up' in the yellow heart on the horse's back.
