I decide that in 2014 I would start putting myself 'out there' entering a few competitions. I felt it would give me an opportunity to respond to a brief my way & add to my portfolio.The first was Tigerprint's monthly competition called 'The Colour of Love' in collaboration with the Society of Dyers & Colourists. They wanted a exciting colour palette that '....captured the feeling of love whilst pushing the boundaries to create a new and different look...' Below is my entry. I wanted to explore hand linework with different textures, and I surprised myself with what I produced YEY.

Well it turned out that myself and another MATS mate had reached the top 60! We were so pleased.
