Work in Progress*

Celebrating 6 years
-
I was invited by Arseny Vesnin founder of DesignCollector to submit a piece of artwork to celebrate their 6th year.

On April 13 Designcollector Network celebrates Six years! Privately selected creators will do their artworks for Designcollector’s six anniversary.

Below is my entry, simply playing on their own tag line ‘all you need are links’ which I feel ‘links’ in quite well with the shape of the 6.

Grasmere
-
On the 12th February, 2009 I moved into my new flat in Grasmere. I am living right in the centre of the village above the local Post Office, the views are gorgeous and I cannot wait to go out walking and not to forget taking lots of photographs.

At the moment I have no internet connection so my blog and various other networks haven’t been and won’t be updated as frequently as I would like. Hopefully in the next three weeks I should be getting a phone line installed and I’ll be away again.

Thank you for all baring with me. I can promise you will be seeing more here very soon, not to mention my websites re-launch and the possibility of some free goodies!

PHOTOGRAPHY
-
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing at St. Bees with a lovely girl called Morgan and her mam Adele. I have just spent most of the week editing and uploading the images to my flickr account.

See more images in the Morgan at St. Bees set here.

Another side of design
-
Today, via flickr.com, I came across an excellent blog by Michael Surtees.

DesignNotes was launched in Canada in 2005 and is now published in New York by designer, writer and educator Michael Surtees. Michael tries to see life filtered through design, as opposed to placing design on a pedestal. Every once in a while, food and music slip on into the discussion. When not writing about design, Michael is the Design Director of Daylife.

NEW BLOG
-
Unfortunately, for some time I have had no internet connection in my flat, I am hoping to get it sorted within the next few weeks.

I am still between two blogs at the moment having found limitations with the www.sarahfrance.com/blog wordpress template, I have decided I am going to keep posting here and hopefully keep the updates flowing.

My website is currently having data inputted and should be back up and running very soon. My good friend Andi has been applying a new template by which I am just thrilled!

Currently, I am working on:

01. My new logo and how it may animate on my websites intro page
02. Also an identity re-vamp for this blog
03. Inputting data into my new gridified website
04. Completing stationary for my sisters wedding invites
05. Creating two more titles for Fault Magazine
06. Expanding on my photographic knowledge
and much more…working full-time

So, I thought I would leave my readers with some new photography from just this weekend. So stay tuned for more updates.

Following my recent submissions to the magazines March quarterly edition, the piece for ‘The Redwalls‘ article has been successful.
