</span></span></div>It's been a long time since my last post but have been a busy bee making and creating. I thought I would share with you all the process of screen printing. For the jacket there are labels and patterns to create for the fabrics and a lovely way to achieve this for the prototype (plus enjoy the final few weeks of my degree!) has been screen printing, or foiling. So instead of pulling ink through the silk screen you pull a special glue through....</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bc979f; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />

I can't believe how flat it was! Makes a nice change from Cornwall's hills. !5 miles of flat sped by on my fixie. Had a slight hiccup, or strike of luck when I came across The Cycle Shack in Bristol nr the path and ended up buying a rather lovely Claud Butler... so excited.</span><style type="text/css">

Cycling in the city has been set up to act as communication between myself and those who love (or hate) cycling in the city. Currently I am embarking on the final stage of my BA (hons) degree in 3d design at the University College Falmouth. For the final brief I thought long and hard about what I really love and what interests me...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love cycling and spurred on by road accident between me, my bike and a car I researched into cycling as it seems to be a bike boom going on right now. Bristol has had over £20 million invested through becoming the nation's first Cycling City and London too has enjoyed a fruitful year with the beginnings of the Barclay's cycle hire scheme, 'super' highways and in general, more attention upon commuting. However what struck me, through reading the ever increasing amount of blogs, websites and news articles about cycling was that still, the number one factor that deters people from cycling altogether or is their biggest issue when cycling in the city is safety. Safety of themselves, of other other cyclists and other road users.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And so, here is the next stage in my design project; asking people what they think about cycling in the city and do they feel safe. I want to hear your opinions on this matter so please get involved and leave a comment. I will try to post an online version of the questionnaire I am currently distributing. (january 2011)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The result of the first stage of my project which was research based is now to produce a physical outcome, LNR> lycra not required. More info to follow (feb 2011)</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
