Mini Benches

Memorials

As a development to my photographs of memorial benches I looked at over layering the views from the benches on Photoshop.

Working in a similar way to that of my drawing work from last year.

Then it struck me what would this image look like printed onto a life size bench, and so the mini benches were born.

Too many bobbins

Now a shift of focus and it back down to learning the art of lace making. 

The lace is worked with pairs of bobbins so a simple piece of lace requires a minimum of 6 pairs of bobbins.

But as you can see the more complex the pattern the more bobbins you need - and lots of pins.

Fundraising

I want to apologise for my tardyness at posting on my blog over the last few months and update you on what I have been doing ...

On December 14th and 15th my professional practice group held a bacon bap sale to raise funds for our exhibition.  As a group we designed the poster below.

Then a few of us went out to get the vital ingredients.

 The event went well earning vital funds for our exhibition - but now my job as treasurer really has to begin.
