As promised, here are the pictures of my finished hat and scarf (I downloaded the trial of CS5 – YAY!)… Not the best edit ever but it will do 🙂 … and my sister is probably going to kill me for putting this up here but nevermind, I needed a model! I woke up at 6.30am today (my day off) to go over the design in pen and it took me until 8.40am!! I’m glad...

Euk! But it is typical typography of a fairground ride!...

This means that we can choose to use a range of disciplines from the ‘art’ family: Textiles, Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, 3D, Painting, Collage….
