Long Time No See!

Havent posted a new blog for a while! Ive recently been on on summer vacation from university but i've been keeping busy!

I spent two weeks in Holland on holiday with my family at the start of summer. It allowed me to totally chill out at open my mind to get inspiration whilst i was there! I found some amazing stores and beautiful towns which really helped me get some ideas for my final year. I spent my first week in a little town called Delft, I loved the touristy feel of this and i got to watch the world cup final in a gorgeous little character pub which was fantastic! My second week was in Beekse Bergen safari camp where i could swim in a warm lake,had to speak dutch all the time and was camping next to the giraffe home! The safari park here is amazing and i felt so lucky to see the animals so close! It was also great taking in the tiny little places nearby including a amazing little curios shop!

Once i was home I began my summer sketchbook for my final year at uni. My first idea turned out to have so many possibilities i decided to leave that until my major project! Instead after researching a few other smaller ideas i decided to go for a geometric themed gift project looking at origami and papercraft too.

Heres some photos from my holiday!
