I tried adding colour to some of my ink drawings this week and I don't think they've turned out too badly! I'm going to work on the scale of them and try both big scale and small scale works to see the impact this has on how my is read/interpreted. I also tried out repetition and more painterly drawings, trying to find out which one will work the best.Here's what I've come up with so far:

Ornaments
These are a couple of my charity found ornaments that I've been working from, it seems there must be quite a market for them as they were a wee bit pricey!
New drawings this week
This week I've been working in my new studio space (the biggest I've had in 4 years!) which has lots of wall space and room for me to experiment with sculptures/installation type work, I've decided to carry on with my ink drawings as I feel that they were a successful element of my work at the end of last year, and want to experiment more with them.
I'm looking into the theme of the household, and in particular objects which are representative of the home. One of the areas that I'm focusing on are ornaments (mainly kitsch), how women are represented and also mental health. My dissertation this year is focusing on women and the diagnosis of mental health and it is something that I want to try filter through to my art work.
Here are a series of drawings that I've been working on that are studies of collected ornaments:

Possible images for a zine?
I've been thinking for a while about making a zine, or maybe creating a story and drawing illustrations to go with it. I love the work of Magda Boreysza:
and wanted to try and create something of a similar nature to the zines she produces. I'm currently working on some more drawings and thinking about a story and text to go with it.
