JUDE

I must, must, must, tell y'all about this super faboosh 'zine soon to be hitting up Dundee in a big way. It's the brain child of two beautiful ladies, Erin Ward and Lisa McLean and they have been kind enough to include my work - thank you!

Can't wait!!!



Eeeeee!

I'm typing this as I listen to She & Him

I heart Zooey Deschanel anyhow - I love a lanky brunette - but I am utterly addicted to Volume One, from She & Him. Braw. A pleasant soundtrack to the day and judging by this morning, it's to be a skip around the office day, achieving little with a cup of tea in hand.  Rather worrying really; the cloud of doom overhead (Premier Vision and Milano Unica) is eyeing me up, laughing at my 'To Do' list and my prematurely sunny head. But while the new cottons are still to be finished and the Printers take their sweet time, so shall I.

Co-Lab, yo'...Nicola Reed & Sara Nevay

Being a giant sneakster and typing this on my lunch at work...have achieved most of my 'To-Do' list for the day which I think is fine enough reason to stop and take a wee break.

Having written little since last year - which was sporadic even then - it's become glaringly apparent to me that I am in a creative rut. My head has gone mushy and useless; I am thick with boredom, plodding along, dispassionate and discommunicated. It has been the general consensus that after such concentration, (pah!), and the stress of Degree Show year, a creative hiatus is expected, DESERVED, even. And I won't lie, I happily hid my bag of arty tricks and full-to-the-brim-folios in the deepest, darkest corner of 'under bed' and Forgot. And it isn't until now that I see myself irksome with months of dissatisfaction. Silly Sara.

And so..

Collaboration time with one of my favourite people (a bestest) and a rather talented jeweller to boot, has let the creative muscles flex healthy. Just waiting on a little funding coming our way - fingers crossed!



Have a looksy at her braw blog; she is a clever lady.
