Cocoon route

Not the greatest of pictures but you can get a rough idea of the journey the cocoon has been on, aprox 500 miles, through amazing countyside of Wales and Staffordshire where I grew up, Rhyl is its final place for taking photos as this was my first destination on the HNC, my travels have taken me in a circle. Whatever the weather Im sure it will be a fine day for fish and chips by the sea.

The HNC/D has been an amazing course for me and it is coming to an end what a way to finish.

The Power of Pointing !

Tutbury Castle

Digbeth is scary.

Digbeth in Birmingham, somewhere I feel very uncomfortable, its a very built up area

 industrial and full of warehouses, its like a warren, I would be lost very quickly if left alone there.

we have walked around going to art galleries its very unnearving

Ferns and twine

We took the cocoon to Cannock Wood today for an outing, sadly the Nokia didn't want to take any photos so it was down to mobile phones to save the day, I do feel some of the pics have come out quiet well, and I'm taking it to Walsall on Thursday for town and college pics, hope it doesn't rain !

Cocoon creation.

The reworking has progressed, Im not sure its finished but I am very happy with the results so far, the organic shape that has been created and the natural twine has been stitched loosely in a blanket stitch and looped together.  The stitching has been influenced by the honeycomb from a bee hive and the bees pupa grow inside the hexagons, while taking photographs in Wales the other day a child though a bug had come out of the cocoon.

Cocoons, Lakes and Waterfalls........

A selection of the photographs taken over the last 36 hours, many more to edit, then choosing the ones for the final show, lots of work to do, and lots done.
