my new studio

My flatmate is moving out in a couple days and as sad as i will to see her go i must admit i need the extra space, i am in desperate need to a workspace as my bedroom is so full i can hardly get into it. so in a few days il be decorating and geting the spare room kitted out, i am in love with old school office style and have compiled this bunch of pics to show the sort of style im aiming for (i doubt it will look anything like i want it as im skint but il try my best) stay tuned for some before and after pics when i get round to actualy finishing it

magic jelly paperchase

a while ago i send a bundle of vintage papers to magic jelly, far far away in australia. She is running a project, where people send her packages of vintage papers and in return she makes a collage and sends it back, keeping the excess paper, its a brilliant idea and i cant wait to see what she makes for me, it will have pride of place in my new studio :)

my little bundle, as shown on her site


please head over and check out the collages she has already made, there very cool magic jelly
