Start Again.

Well. For the final time I hope I will be starting this blog up again. Third time's the charm I hope!

I would like this blog to be about my venture into Photography as my own business. Some work will be commercial and some personal. I hope my followers will enjoy the variety of work with the similar inspiration pages and givaways!
I'm looking forward to learning more this year and getting involved in more in my local area of Norwich. If you have any suggestions of what you'd like to see please message me at jennapritchard@hotmail.co.uk or on Twitter @jennapritchard

Thank you

Jen :)

This has been my third attempt at a blog. I think Im just a bit too boring to be an interesting blog. Plus my digital cameras broke. So goodbye again till I feel inspired to start blogging with motivation.

Bye!

Website Finds.

Found some amazing work this week, feel very inspired by it all but still lacking any motivation to do anything. Sigh.
However, I am very much enjoyed finding these wonderful creations, not much photography but I have put some of my work on to society6 so have a look see if you fancy it.
So first is Donna Wilson, her naive drawings and childlike imagery is so exciting to browse through and I was drippling for hours over home furnishings and ceramics. I would love to be that successful one day, have a look at her wonderful website



Next is Antler Mag, which I found through browsing Issu for a far too long amount of tiem. But Im glad I did as its has some gorgeous photography and eco fashion advice. As well as some great links to other lovely creatives.


And another wonderful Illustator Laura Figiel of SheDraws. I found her work through a Twitter Link and have been hooked ever since! You can find her tea party friendly objects and buttons in her Etsy Shop. And a quite lovely blog too!


Poupee Flash.

Cant stop listening to this song , too funny and amazing all at the same time.

Etsy Weekend.

Thought Id start a Etsy Weekend Round Up of all my favourite photographers and artists doing some pretty amazing work. Browsing the film photography section can have me procrasinating for hours so here what id like to get my hands on...

zoetropedesign has a lovley selection of prints, based in the UK. This is my favourite of tate modern. The shadows are mesmerising.





Next is MilesofLight I love everything about her photographs, and I could look at her website for hours too. She captures wonderful intimate moments, whether they be interior collections or seasonal landscapes it all seems so effortless and beautiful.





And finally the mother of all things surreal pamelaklaffke with her fascinating world of animals and people sometimes together sometimes alone. I want so many of them, all in 120 Holganess aswell, could they be any better!





Enjoy!

Starting a new collabrative project with a Miss Alice Weaver combining my images and her wonderful drawing and painting skills.

Been searching for a starting point and found some lovely work to inspire us.

This reminds me of The Moomins for some reasons all folky and colourful.


I also wanted to show you some work ive begun, not sure where its going though.

Bing!

Ideas are a flowing after the current flurry of snow and cold winter nights wrapped up with blanket and notebook.
I want to go back to a previous project which looks at unseen street sculptures, tiny or large objects that form intriguing compostions in thier natural or sometimes urban environment.
As always I want to research research research! Ive started with a few favourites for mudane but imaginative compositions from Richard Wentworth and Wolfgang Tillmans. I would love to find something new here, an inbetween.

Heres my current inspirations for today, mostly photography based opps.

Richard Wentworths 'Untitled'



Wolfgang Tillmans 'Untitled'



And some of my favourites from flickr and etsy:




Love these pressed leaf buttons, and her illustrations are beautiful, take a look see.
