Keep calm and carry on!

Hospital Corridor
Foiled glass (not soldered)
This has been a very busy week.  These deadlines always approach quicker than expected. I always find the amount of work leading up to Christmas very intense. I'm sometimes running to stand still.  I've been getting lots of textile materials together, choosing colours and textures. I've also made a macquette for my design lay out. It still needs some changes, but it does what I want it to do.  I'm starting some hand stitched, machine stitched, and free knitted samples this week. There are so many options I want to make sure I choose the best ones for my project.  I've also cut, smoothed and foiled some glass for another sample. I've got loads to do for this brief as it involves mixed media and textiles.  I visited the hospital to get an idea of position/light etc.  I now know that I want my work to be wall mounted.  I previously thought about hanging the work in front of a window, but I don't think that would be possible after viewing the space available. Health and safety laws might prevent the window areas from being used.  My next step is to cut the abstracted shapes for my design, and fix them into position on a  mounting board. I'm organising all the data for my essay which I've been collecting from various sources for a few months, and desperately trying to find time to finish two research books for the essay.
