A friendship blossoms

This week is the beginning of a new blossoming

friendship in the Guerrilla Crafter 

Winchester residence.

Mr Mimaki and Nina Bernina will meet for the very first time.

and what an exciting friendship it will be.

I am tres giddy about the possibilities of this new 

chapter in Guerrilla Crafters adventures.

Victorian Decal Inspired Designs

Hey all,

If you have read my last few posts

you would know,

Guerrilla Crafter is going just a little bit digital 

I thought i would share with you my new 

Victorian Decal Inspired Design.

I was thinking of doing 

a whole range of Decal Designs

Please let me know what you think.

Guerrilla Crafter Goes Digital #1

Today has been most exciting.

Today is the day i printed the very first range of 

Guerrilla Crafter digital fabric.

I stood and watched proudly as
each centimetre was printed.

Its a nervous and exciting time watch
 your designs be transcribed from your
computer screen on to your fabric.

                                              

The process takes much long than I imagined. 

The fabric is currently in the process of 

steaming, rinsing, washing.

Tomorrow i will be able to introduce my
digital Mimaki treats to Nina the Bernina

 where i will hopefully be able to watch a new

friendship blossom.

New Times in Winchester

I know i have been very

 quiet in recent times but as some of you will know,

straight after the New Year Guerrilla Crafter migrated south.

I now reside in beautiful Winchester. 

I have only been here for a week but i have been 

working on some really exciting projects,

Guerrilla Crafter is going digital.

I have been given a great opportunity to have a go at printing 

my own Guerrilla Crafter fabric. How exciting!!

Here are the first repeat designs for my spring range of fabrics.

Please let me know what you think!

Merry Handmade Christmas to one and all!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a 

warm and cosy festive season.

I will personally be 

surrounding myself with my family and friends

before my move to Winchester in the New Year.

I will return in 2012 with new projects and

plenty of inspiration!

Jolly Christmas Gifts and GIVEAWAY.

Hello fellow craftily creative types,
It seems that the Jolly Christmas Season 

is already upon us.

Blogging has been hard to keep up with at this

 jolly old time of year, along with me getting ready 

for my very exciting move to the 

beautiful old city of Winchester

But all the same I have of course Guerrilla Crafting
away working poor Nina Bernina to the bone.

But all is worth it.

I have currently been working on joining the

Urban Artisans at the

Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market.

Urban Artisan is  group of West Midlands based designers

selling everything from Soy Candles to graphic prints, jewellery and Textiles.

I am very happy to have been asked to join them

next week on their beautiful Christmas stall.

I have been working on more birdie themed fabric purses, 

covered diaries, tea and egg cosies and thought 

it would be great for me to share with you my Jolly crafty gifts.

I am very excited about these finding a place with Urban Artisan 

in our very beautiful Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market.

Continuing with my JOLLY theme i would like to give away 

one of my Blue Tit brooches that is in the picture above.

Lost In Lace

This last week saw the opening of the 

Lost In Lace Exhibition

at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

"Lost in Lace will see 20 leading international artists take over the Gas Hall at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery this Winter. Running 29th October 2011 to 19th February 2012, this exhibition will explore the relationship between textiles – specifically lace – and space through a series of dramatic and ambitious new site-sensitive installations."

Crafts Council

I have been patently waiting for this

 to arrive for the last two months.

I am surprisingly lost for words about 

Lost In lace.

So instead i am just going to share the photos i took

when i went to visit this wonder myself

The photographs by no means show the amazing 

scale and detail of these pieces or how they

 react with the space.

I recommend that if you are able to visit this exhibition 

please go.

You can find out more about the exhibition and the artists
