And on to bigger things....

Well back to college and back to work, now is the time to start creating the large nest, it is going to be more patchwork looking and less football like. Well hopefully ;-)

We had a group crit and hopefully all the plans will come together, if not there is the photoshop back up option, which I really dont want to do, but who knows, I have the ideas the places and the people to help so all is well....

Midi Nest....

 The Midi nest..... not mini.. not maxi....

 This nest is only about a metre round and its been challenging

but not really difficult, but I think the larger one will be 

hard work, but worth it especially when its sitting in situ.

Woodcut Print.

After weeks of putting it off I have finally printed my leaf and Im really pleased

with the outcome, it has really encoraged me to do more !

Come and See.....

I have started a flickr account, I am slowly filling it with photos from the last year, but only some of them as I had over 1000 on my phone and some are already online on my facebook account.

Please take time to browse :D

As time goes on.....

Things are changing, what a wonderful week, I have been accepted at Birmingham Uni, Margret St to start in the 2nd year as of September, and my final major project is taking shape, I am now making a midi size nest as a prequel to the full size as Im concerned about it being to heavy to hold its self up. I have also been out and about taking photographs of places I would like to take the nest, I also will be taking photographs of it in places I dont like such as Town Centre on a weekend, and New St Station, places I feel uncomfortable, and want to feel secure.

more blog later !

Summer Fruitiness...

And then it all changes...

Well the name of the show changes, to RedTape. Which on the whole sums up alot about the work we are doing as a group, we are a mixed bunch and are covering a deal of subjects that we feel passionate about.
My personal Redtape has been the work I have had to do over the last couple of weeks, I dont feel that apart from the printing of the peacock feathers I have really achieved much at college. I took some lovely pictures out and about in Shropshire with the dappled sunlight that I love so much, tiny flowers growing in the undergrowth, it will be a beautiful spring.

Today is talking to the Gallery day, we have to go in and discuss what we are planning, its so early on and no real work has been produced, but that is going to change over Easter as I am planning to go to Cannock Chase to investigate and play with the things I find, I would like to find some owl pellets and maybe stag horns. We shall see :-)
