I have been playing with wrapped coils of wire to bring some colour into my life on this grey January morning!

Tyree Callahan has created a wonderful Chromatic Typewriter.

Callahan entered The Chromatic Typewriter into the 2012 West Collects competition, which people can currently vote on through the downloading of a iphone app.

I saw this amazing piece of work on the London Print Works Trust blog and am downloading the iPhone app asap.  What an amazing invention!!

update

i have been very remiss with my blog lately but i do have a good excuse!  I have been a part time student at MMU for the past three years, but this September I decided to take the plunge and go full-time!  I am now a 2nd year student on the Embroidery degree at MMU and it has been very hard pushing myself to work at the speed of full time ...both physically and mentally.  I travel 100 miles 4 days a week .... so it is a real commitment..  However, i am just coming to the end of the first term and ... i LOVE it.  


I will try and post more regularly ... but I can't promise..  As you all know running a blog takes time and creative energy and I am running low at the moment.  I am not giving up ... just this blog is having to take a back seat for the next few months.
