The Last Post (For This Project)

I've been working hard getting my work up to date for assessment. Everything is coming together now, and I've fixed all the things that were not quite right and bugging me.  I've been checking my sketch book to make sure all was in order, and I've made a few improvements to it.  I made another printing plate and the prints have turned out much better this time.  I'm going to add some water colour to the brambles and wasps in the printed border of the design.  The colour difference between the border and the central area was too great, it was making the whole design look very disjointed so I applied a wash of diluted acrylic ink which did the trick and was more harmonious. All I have to do now is attach the smaller components of my piece to the base.  There are four of us doing the 8x8 brief, so we are going to display them together.  They are small and will have more impact if displayed in a group.  They will be displayed in a horizontal line. This format enables works to be viewed individually, and also as part of a larger narrative. I went to the College fashion show last week.  It was very good.
