Bathtime Blog!

Round 2 of this weeks blog post and I'm living it up dressed as the Hulk with my weekly facemask treat. It's usually Sundays  but It's been one of those weeks!

Yesterday I had my 1-2-1 feedback, I was nervous to say the least but I was really pleased with what my tutors had to say about me and my work so far! I've still got so much to learn and didn't hit some of the unit requirements (I'm very good at reading the brief and keeping check) but I'm not too worried. I'm doing so much better than I anticipated.



 So....I wanted to quickly show you how I came about making my interpretation of enlarged science bateria/mould inspired petri dishes. Using clay from the ceramics department, I made these moulds....Fashioned them into some sort of 3D, textural petri dishes (left image) and from these I was able to create my foam 3D dishes (middle image) and then to complete my sample and bring it to life (well the idea I had in my brain) I used the felting machine and 100% Merino wool and felted, very lightly into the 3D parts to make it look like furry, fuzzy mouldy areas. I'm so pleased that I've been able to create my vision and bring it to the table. At this moment I'm thinking they might make awesome pocket openings! Watch this space!

Anyway...I have a glass of wine in the bath. *CHIN-CHIN. Abi x
