    My personal approach to design is to recycle,repurpose or reinvent.They all are about creating other uses, for items that mankind has made for one reason or another, and are no longer needed for that purpose.The process of repurposing something old into new is an exciting prospect and lengthening the longevity of an item is a key factor within my designs.All designs are copyright to Vampeddesigns

What a month.......

Well what a month.....New designers went really well for me I had a lot of lovely feedback and great responses to all of my pieces. Where do I start..... I chatted to the representatives of some of my favourite design places, Design Museum, Redesign, Icon, IDFX, Tent and Design Excellence and since then I have had some lovely feedback from them.

I have had a small feature in this month’s IDFX and have been successful in applying to be in this year’s lighten up exhibition with [re]design at 100% and just today I have been successful in getting into Heart and Design, ( www.heartanddesign.org ) Heart and Design are giving the opportunity to 15 young designers to exhibit their pieces alongside their top designers.

This event will attract design scouts from the UK and overseas all looking for that unique quirky Britishness. I am so lucky I can’t quite believe it; today I have been too excited to function!

I will submit a one off Hula into a silent auction with some of the proceeds going to Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Trust for a CT scanner it’s really nice to be part of a worthwhile cause.

I have also been very lucky to make connections with the lovely Susan Muncey at Shopcurious.com who is going to stock my hats in the next month and my furniture in the near furniture. I just can’t get over how great this has all been.

I’ve also been doing really well in the one to watch competition and would like to say thank you to all of the people that have been voting for me.

I know have a very busy month ahead preparing and arranging for all of these wonderful things.....

What do you think?
