March

February was an intense moth and my cracks started to show. Uni interviews and toy project deadlines made me loose so much sleep and I consumed amazing amounts of coffee but I got into UCA! (Yay). I also had an interview for loughborough and one for southampton to come!

I've started to illustrate in a new way that I previously thought I hated and was tedious but now I love working that way. I paint/water wash but instead of just paint I use mainly inks. I find using white ink a bit useless so I tend to stick with acrylic white paint. I've also began to mix my media up a little bit more and the progress in how I work as an illustrator, I feel is really beginning to show and I feel like I'm making huge progress.

I would very much still like to work a lot more on my textiles skills and knitting/weaving but ill leave that for my final project of this year. I can't believe I only have nine weeks left the I can work work work making some moneys, spend my summer doing fun things ( holidays/festivals/clubs/gigs ) before I head off too uni. 

The beginning of this year seemed to be a dull one and I thought I'd not have an awful lot to look forward too, but it seems I'm stepping into the year on a good note and I hope they carry on the way they have been. 

I will be selling prints soon as they are ''in demand'' haha. I've had a few people ask about buying my work, and for obvious reason I dont want to sell the work I have as its for studies but I can offer copies and if you want your own original it will cost a tiny bit more but I wont charge a lot as it is! All the money will go towards saving for university. I will blog it all so you can see my progress/achievements that you put towards! Completely thankful to anyone who does buy in and I will update very soon on more about sell them. Email me at : brooke.stonehouse23@gmail.com
