Reworking...........

After two weeks of working on the cocoon, I had come to hate the one thing I though I would love. Decided it would be a good idea to share this with my tutor, I sent a facebook message which he recieved at 11pm, saying that I hated my work and no longer wanted to do it. He is not an old man but apparently I nearly gave him a heart attack. He calmly replied that we should have a chat the next day.

so we have chatted and have made some different ideas work , taking the monster I had created into the organic piece I wanted.... he can smile about it now ;-) 

so reworking the duvet in to more of a natural cocoon shape, and having it done by Wednesday for a trip out and photographs. fingers crossed chaps and chappesses

'I have created Green !!!'

A panel of green to go with the flower panels, I love the way the greens intensify.

Working like a women on a mission

Work is well on the way for the end of year show, things keep altering slightly but Im still heading in the right direction. I am now going to use a single duvet as the basis of the nest and put flowers and embrodiery on to it, the cover is green so ties in nicely. I am using fake flowers for practicality.

Im  hoping that people will see my nest as a piece of nature transported in the town, maybe feel a little sad that we are losing woodland and green belt land frequently to building sites that could be in Brown field sites in towns, or just enjoy a sit in the nest while the rest of the world hustles and bustles around them. The idea of the cocoon is to feel safe and secure, in the woods its would be a true hiding space, to sit and watch the natural world go by.

and more....its not letting me load them as one today...
