Its been a long 4 of months preparation for this trip to Bologna, but its was well worth the sweat, tears and sleepless nights! Its my third visit to Italy, first to Bologna and to the children’s book fair, the city was stunning, and the food was insane! i’m so glad i got a chance to see the city during the week i was there, through the 6am starts and long days at the fair. here are some photos of my week away and my work proudly placed at the Bologna children’s book fair :>)

AUCTION!! What a fantastic evening we had on wednesday the 13th at the cambridge school of art, the wine was flowing and lots of bidding on some beautiful artwork from illustrators and students. I organised this auction along with my class mates to rise money for our trip to the bologna childrens bok fair next month, where 80 of us will be exhibiting our work and dummy books. We raised a grand total of 1,400 pounds!! im so chuffed and proud! well done everyone for all the hard work, its paying off :)
