Alice in wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is my favourite disney film. A lot of people share this too but i love the crazy illustrations of Sir John Tenniel  i think its pretty wonderful how simply black and white drawings can be so intricate and very inspiring.

Dill is an amazing textiles artist her use of words to sum up the emotions of individuals is a constant theme through out. i used this artist as part of textiles projects. i think the use of very muted colours in contrast with the harsh black is really impressive. 

.

The blog i have created is just something really to keep me up to date with my personal thoughts and finds as i go through life. As you can tell my grandma is my inspiration behind the textiles concept and she is a constant feature throughout these posts.
enjoy anyways
