My work bay

As final year students we are lucky to have our very own studio. Here are a few images of my desk my project title is Arabian Nights.

What a bargain...............

I have just purchased this vintage chic standing floor light from the British Heart Foundation in Nottingham for £20.00. It needs work.....................repainting and a new shade but it is perfect for my final major project and its just what I was looking for!

 

I will post more photographs as the light develops into something fabulous.
