Leeds Yarn Owls
I am just in the process of setting up a yarn bombing collective with Laura Jordan and it's going to be called Leeds Yarn Owls.
We're planning on having a meet up at least once a month for a 'stitch n bitch' style session and then we will go out into the city and graffiti areas with the things we have made. These will be photographed for our blog and facebook page etc.
We are hoping to take our collective to a few summer festivals this year where we will put on a workshop followed by a 'graffiti' session around the festival afterwards.
We may curate an exhibition to showcase the photographs and videos of the 'graffiti' during the winter months.
We need to create a logo, blog, facebook page etc.... all very exciting!!

The penny has droppped!
I've really struggled this year to work out what it actually is that I want to do after my degree and I have seemed to have spent the best part of the second year in a panic about it. However after attempting many different ways of working and trying to do things that I thought uni wanted and not do things I wanted to do, I have managed to work it out.
I want to concentrate more on the community arts side of things, in particular putting on workshops at festivals and events, and also doing some voluntary work with some local community groups.
I will mainly be working within the medium of craft but would also still like to improve my film and photography skills as i will use these as a way of documenting what it is i do.
Now I know what it is i want to do I can get on with doing it!!

Primal Scream - Movin On Up (lyrics)
This is the song they walked out of the register office to after the ceremony. I'd also like to use this one on the video.
Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats
This is the song they walked down the isle to, i'd like to use it on the video.
Wedding videographers
I really like the style of these wedding videos and would like to try to do something like this myself.
