Where had I got to?

I have to admit I had to sneak a peek at this blog because I didn't have a clue what my last post was! Now I'm up to speed here's what I've been up to.
Firstly, it's no longer a cloak, I've become a proper art student and I'm making an installation! I've been fighting it because I thought it was too typical and I wanted to be different but this piece needs to be an installation, so there we go. The main piece, formerly the cloak, is well underway. The floor tiles, windows and arches are all stitched on and now it's awaiting embellishing to create a stone effect. The photos show 3 possible fabrics for the altar - a beautiful green blue shot silk, a hideous green that is so awful I'm embarrassed to post it and a pale green jacquard which I like the best. I'll post again to explain my new direction a little more.
