Kate Sutton is a freelance illustrator she creates line drawings and plush creatures. I found Kate Suttons work in a book called "Made and sold" she is an illustrator who also creates one off hand made creations like these very festive tree decorations of gingerbread men, knitted candy canes, and wierd stripy monsters.
She says 'Even if i had a range of manufactured products on the market i would continue to make small runs/limited edition items as i love all things handmade and its just part of what i do.' Kate Sutton pg 70
This lady gave me the idea to stuff my flat 2d grandma with wool to make her 3d.

I was asked to write 250 words on an artist/illustrator who i really envy. I decided that i would write about Sara Fanelli who is a contemporary illustrator. A few of the reasons for me choosing her would be that her illustrations are brilliant, interesting and very different. Fanelli illustrated the classic children's storybook Pinocchio. She has a very playful approach to her illustrations where she combines allot of different colour, texture, techniques and ideas which must take allot of time to conceive. I love the Disney film of pinochio and the traditionally painted characters usually come to mind, so when i saw Sara Fanelli's version i was surprised to see such new and exciting imagery, i had never seen anything like it. I could never tire of looking at Fanelli's illustrations in the book Pinocchio. Fanellis illustrations have a naive childlike quality, they look almost unfinished. She uses a culmination of drawings, collage, photography, paint, the real cut out eyes give her characters a human touch after all allot can be said with eyes.
on some of the pages she includes less detailed innocent looking ink drawings which are simplified re-drawings of the original coll aged characters. She uses a mixture of contrasting colours the illustrations are quite minimalistic she is careful not to overcrowd them.
the book is beautifully translated and very original in design. she uses a limited colour palette which helps tie the images in together using quite natural tones.
Fanelli's illustrations are witty but also quite daring from looking at her designs i feel as though they give me the confidence to use my random designs from seeing Sara Faneli's work i realise illustrations don't have to look exact or precise illustrating is about having fun and using imagination that is something i sometimes forget, i need reminding.

christopher lockes uses all types of media, including metals, wood, plaster, clay, resins, foam, painting, drawing, and mixed.
i was particularily interested in the spider made of scissors that were confiscated from an airport they lookvery sinister.

The next evoloution of book design this is how illustrators will be illustrating in the future. i was quite adament to like the idea of computerised books but actualy after seeing this i think there a brilliant idea i want one!!!
