new pics
Bellas mothers day picture for me.
Tristan has drawn this fab monster.
Tristan and Bella have been hard at work providing me with some new pics.
Thease pics have been drawn with pen, scanned in to the computer and enhanced in GIMP which is an open source image manipulator. Mostly it just nvolved fideling with the contrast untill the background has become white instead of the grainy colour that sometimes appears after scanning.
We then checked that there were no breaks in the lines to enable the childen to fill the block with a colour that they want.

Placement Year
I am currently looking for a placement for the next year at university. If I have sent you my CV you may be looking up my work.
Welcome to my site. It is based on a wordpress application, with the addition of eBay, pup exec, JavaScript and CSS plug-in to allow me to display additional code. The skin is based on 2010Weaver but with changes to the CSS.
My storytelling website has been built from scratch in notepad as one of my assignments.
I have added my chat bot to the site in the last few days it can be found here.
I have also been working on adding some Down’s syndrome support group information to a google map. So far I have set up a SQL database to provide the data and used a Google API to display the information. Still to come is displaying the information on a table a form for people to submit their own support groups.

Bullying poster emulating the style of Chad Mcail
Chad McCail is the artist that we need to emulate for our university assignment. In this poster I have used his style to portray how our compulsive schooling system discourages and inhibits indeviduality. This inhibiting by the establishment is replicated by children and can lead to bullying.

Bella the budding artist
Previously i have posted some of bellas pictures. I have now uploaded them to a site called graphic leftovers. The pictures can be bought for use on websites or publications.
I have allready had images put cards which i hope to be made avaliable on ebay shortly.
I have had them printed through Vista Print. After the initial order you get loads of ‘special offer’ email sent through. At first i found it really annoying but when i need something they are very usefull. I got 30 of thease cards made up for £10. It would have been cheaper but i put a little picture of Bella on the back which cose extra.
I am hoping to sell some at craft fairs but I have allready used then for friends and family. They have all said how fab and professional looking they are.
Bella has done another picture of a rabbit and mouse.

anti bullying poster
My recent university assignment is an anti bullying poster. In this one i have tried to put accross the idea that it is often about more tha one person bullying someone else. The boy at the top who appears to be the bully does not look too happy about it, but the 4 egging him on are all smilling. The girls skipping are also all included in making the girl at the bottom unhappy. It is my first attempt and it needs captions but any feedback would be fantastic.

from badges to mirrors to handwarmers.
My badges are not selling very well 
But the mirrors that I have made with the cath kidston print are selling very well on ebay and at craft fairs.
Inspired by the weather I have made some hand warmers with the fabric. Thease should be on ebay soon. Go to my shop page for a direct link through.
My isabella has brought home some fantastic pictures so I am going to get some printed as notelets. Even if I do not sell any I will use it.
My favorite two are below I think thay would make very good note cards.
this is my bellas drawing

Alton towers
Yesterday my husband and i clocked up 400 miles traveling from our house to pick up our other son then over to Alton Towers back to drop him off and home again. pppphhhheeeewwww.
But it was fab and well worth the driving. We had a red armband for bella and white ones for the rest of the dfamily so we got to skip the ques to go on the rides so that she did not have to wait in a que. It made the day really enjoyable, usually bella would not wait very patiently and we would have all been very stressed out.
The ride attendants were all really helpfull aswell.
