I live in London UK, with my partner and sons and I am studying for a degree in Fine Art.

I have been away from Swapbot for a while due to work load at Uni and work, but going into my final semester I need a bit of swapping fun.

I am working with pinhole photography at the moment and have started to use projection to make my photographs large. I have recently brought an old 8mm movie camera and projector and an old bakalite slide projector so I am in the process of getting them cleaned up and working

I love to knit, sew and both wet and needle felting, but I don't get as much time to do them since starting my Uni course.

I am also experimenting with printing, journalling, water colours and drawing and like to get my kids involved.
