    Hi Laura, I stumbled upon your blog while searching V&A for performance costume designs, ideas etc. I loved your sketches: given me the confidence to draw more freely in my own sketchbook. I'm a student on a HNC Textile course (and old enough to be you Gran, probably!) so any examples of beautiful, freely executed sketches, such as yours, have given me the confidence to try and work in a simlar manner.
