Hand in day has arrived!

Think everything is done now. All my pieces are finished and in place. I keep looking through my sketchbook wondering if I can add anything, but I think it's all there. I do wonder if I should do some drawings to add in, as they like that, but I feel it's so forced for me. I just don't do drawing. Hopefully after these past few years they might have got that by now. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it all, and relieved it's all over.

Last push

I made another vessel today, which came out ok I think. This just leaves me with one more to make and to finish off all the paper work and supporting material for the project. Stress levels are reasonably high at the moment and so I am looking forward to being able to relax on Friday.

Tomorrow I'm going to the studio space to hang my wall panels. Fingers crossed all goes to plan and there won't be any problems.

Vessels

Ok, so I have made my second vessel today. It's looking a little phallic...

Oh well, not to worry. Keep going!

A productive day

Today has been a good day. I made a trip to Wicks and Homebase, bought wood and a picture hanging kit; cut and painted the wood and mounted my wall panels, which are now ready for hanging. Hurray!

I also managed to grab a plinth, which I have sanded, filled in the holes and re-painted. It now looks lovely and ready to display my vessles on... Now I just need to make my vessels.

Thank you Howie for your help.

Large panel complete

After days and days of continuous felt making I have finally finished my large wall panel. Made up of nearly 60 hand felted pods, is it any surprise that my hands are dry and sore.

Still more to do yet...

Promotional bits

These are the business cards and postcards designs that are being printed. They'll do the job nicely I think.

Pods in the making

 I love felt...

One of the smaller panels, which just needs tidying up and finishing off:

No pain no gain...

That's what they say isn't it?

I've been making so much felt I'm beginning to wonder if my hands and wrists will make it through.... and I'm not even half way through making yet.

Oh the sacrifices we make for our art.
