There at last!

Finally the projects are finished, the hooks are hammered in and my final major project is complete! Tonight was the private view for our exhibition, and today was the first time I've seen my installation as I planned it to be. Have a look at some previous posts to find out about my inspiration.
It's called 'Claiming Sanctuary' and consists of 4 parts:
A torn curtain which represents the stresses and pressures of the everyday world
A wall hanging to represent a cathedral, the sense of space and peace.
A memorial plaque, which is a very personal piece, in memory of 3 babies I lost to miscarriage last year.
An icon of St Clare, the patron saint of embroiderers.

I'm so pleased with how it's come together, and that people went in for a look, which I was worried they wouldn't!

Really going to miss my fellow students, but not all the research!

Nearly there!

I spent today getting my installation up for our exhibition. I'm exhausted, and it's not quite finished. Thankfully I've got tomorrow to get the last few things done. Here are a couple of photos of the work in progress. More when it's all done!

Camping

Here's my camping tag. I'm sitting in college, waiting for a decision to be made about which room our final exhibition is going to be in. As if the whole thing isn't stressful enough... So I decided to relax by making a tag. I've drawn a camp, which right now looks a good place to be! I used watercolour pencils, black pen and a scrap of fabric for the tie. It's helped take my mind off things, for a while anyway ;)
