Here are some of my images from college.

I have been lucky enough to returned to education as a mature student to study fabric design. In the past have made my own clothes, knitted garments and altered clothes to make them up to date or look different. Always taken an interest in fashion, fabric and the construction of garments. Also attended a jewellery design and making course working in silver and gold and still wearing some of my pieces today but gave most of them away as presents ! Spent alot of time restoring old furniture for my home instead of buying new and had some unique stuff !!

The Modern Art Gallery. Amsterdam.


Alberto Giacometti.
The modern art gallery in Amsterdam is a magnificent modern building and contained some of the most fantastic paintings, furniture, fabrics and jewellery. The Gallery was amazing, it contained so many well-known artists and their work. It's was fabulous to go and see their work in situ. It was a gallery you could have spent all day in and still go back for more !!

Another view of the light and airy gallery.
The above images are just a snapshot of the gallery. There are just too many exhibits to put on my blog so I would recommend that if you are in Amsterdam make the modern art gallery one of your priorities to visit. The gallery is very large high ceilings and light and airy and all the exhibits are easy to see and you are allowed to take photographs which to me is a bonus.
