Got new brief for the Integrated project this week.  I have decided to choose the Childhood Explored brief.  This brief has lots of scope for development.  It is a specified size (8x8ins).  This is small compared to other projects I have done, I normally work on a larger scale.  I don't mind what size is requested, I will come up with a suitable idea after some serious research and development.  I went to the annual Hobbycrafts show in Glasgow last week. It was very interesting and VERY busy.  Next year I'll go on my own and stay for longer.  My Husband was with me this time.  He was very good but got fed up after a while.  I took note of some products which I'd like to try, and I got a good mixed media book.  My powerpoint presentation is to morrow.  I'm last at 3pm.  Don't know which is worse, going first or last!  Anyhow this time to morrow it will be all over.  I've finished my essay for hand in next week.  I'm just reading it over now and making minor adjustments.  I was practising with My e portfolio this week.  I'm going to need some help with this or I'll never be able to send my work to tutors.  It is a good idea, once I get used to it all will be fine.  I have added some nice Art Nouveau pictures to this blog.  My essay is about Art Nouveau and the work of CR Mackintosh and Victor Horta.  There were so many practitioners in this movement, it was difficult to decide who to choose.  I like all aspects of ArtNouveau and Art Deco.  I don't know how I've done with my Multiples brief yet, I might knoww next week.  The Hairy Bikers diet is still going weel, I've lost 16 lbs now.
