Final Major Project

After strict instructions to spend half term 'project free', I'm now beginning to think about my final major project! I'm so amazed to have got here, and am determined to make the most of this last project. (Part of me is looking forward to sewing something without having to make a sketch book first!)
Anyway, I've picked the theme Cathedrals and Pilgrimages. Feeling inspired by Grayson Perry, and my favourite place on earth, Canterbury cathedral.
No artwork of my own to post yet, so a couple of images which inspire me.
One is the altar in Canterbury cathedral which marks the spot of Thomas Becket's murder. I love this space in the cathedral, still full of impact even now. The other image is St Clare of Assisi, patron saint of needlework. If you're thinking about saints and pilgrimages and intend to create some textile art, she needs to be here!
