Back to the Conservatoire

It's officially week zero and as Head Scenic Artist of the pantomime I've got in early to print some things off before Gary (my tutor) and i order the paint!

I've been thinking a lot about my management role and to put it lightly I am so frickin' nervous! I'm so scared about the responsibility, time management, managing people, making sure it all runs smoothly ... Oh golly I can just tell I'm going to have sleepless nights soon!

On a happier note though, when walkin to Spiers Locks Studio today, I walked past Timorous Beasties - oh how I want this sofa!

Timorous Beasties

Psychedelic, tripping on acid and beatuiful are the words I would use to describe my favourite interior design company - Timorous Beasties (their website). It is this quirky company founded in the West End of Glasgow in the 1990s that made me interested in researching handpainted wallpaper. Okay, so technically speaking my research project is on hand painted wallpaper and er Timourous Beasties does use machines to create some of their designs but they still use handpainting approaches.

Specialist Research Project

I have decided to do my Specialist Research Project on hand painted wallpaper/murals as I feel this is an area I could go into as a freelancer after I graduate if I can't find any jobs in theatre or film/tv! I keep on finding myself on Google images looking at chinoise wallpaper, or on Timorous Beasties website (the Glasgow based textile and wallpaper company) and I find myself in awe of their beauty and I am desperate to try replicate some designs for my walls in my flat - however I am beginning to run out of walls!
