Ethical Fashion

I'm so bored of the same high street shops with the same fashion and the same layout and the same sales assistants watching their prey like hawks ready to pounce. Charity shopping or swishing is definitely the way forward!

Ethical, unique and relaxed....

'The Art of Swishing involves getting your friends together to swap gorgeous clothes and party at the same time. Every lady must bring at least one good quality, clean item of clothing, or an accessory, that she'd feel proud to hand on.

(Large sacks of designer frocks are also gratefully received. And people who bring along anyone else with a bulging wardrobe.)

"Save money, save the planet, have a party: swishing effortlessly touches all of these buttons. Swishing parties are for all those women who want to combine glamour, environmental protection and frugality."

Lucy Shea, founder of Swishing and director of Futerra Sustainability Communications'

I'm not sure I ever come out of charity shops or swishing parties empty handed.

So everybody get swishity

Scanner obsessed.

Scans of things I love.
The vegetable seed tin was my Nan's.
I bought 'The fountain' from midtown comics, New York.
The crochet/ribbons are little bits and bobs i mostly found in charity shops.
The random knitted animal is a scarf I got in barcelona. Why have a real animal around your neck when you can have a knitted one?!

Bad quality photo from my blackberry but my brother got me some cool presents for christmas including these t-shirt pens. I decided to have a doodle using the Luna project as inspiration.





Here is a little project I did for a friend. He was making a film for his 2nd year of uni and asked me to do some drawings for it. Here are the results....
