Coffee

I very rarely drink coffee these days (I used to live off the stuff and then all of a sudden became completely intolerant to it) I only drink it to perk up my mood. However I have always noticed how I always have my best ideas while my mind is racing (I used to make a habit of drinking strong coffee then going to bed - the best ideas come while your staring at the ceiling for hours on end) . I had a coffee today and I've had many great ideas. I've decided what I want to do for my negotiated project after Christmas and I know how I want my final degree show to look in May.

I've been toying with the idea of doing the preliminary work for a children's book as its been one of the things I've always wanted to do. I've always had a thing about designing items and I wanted to explore that as well. So I'd make up my characters and then design greetings cards, toys, fabric patterns, etc etc all based around these characters. However that would be an awful lot of work, too much in fact. So I've made the decision that I'm just going to do merchandising. That gives me free reign to design and make whatever comes into my head without having to relate it to the theme of the book.

... And for the degree show? A farm yard/ Zoo of insane beasts and huggable lovely things.
