Finally Over

Yesterday was my last day at university and adding the finishing touches to my installation. I am very please with the effect I get with the film projected onto the knitted panels which is very interesting. I will be having a photoshoot of my final work and have it filmed to capture the projection and then will up load it onto y blog and will then upload my ARTSTHREAD protfolio with the film also.

This weekend will now be working on my portfolio and sketchbooks and then I will be finished. I am looking forward to going to New Designers to show my work and then working on other projects I have in mind..and also I will be selling pieces of my work at Cardigan Quays again this year in the summer which is a beautiful gallery setting in Cardigan..this will be another oppurtunity to expose my work with a commercial side .

progress so far

getting a bit nervous now as I write this and think of the last couple of weeks when my work will be up and ready for viewing. At my graduate show. When i will finally be able to read a book with out thinking of something to do...well at least for a little bit...but it will be nice to relax a bit.

My final works is coming together with the last bit of embroidry to do and put the rest of my embroidery panels to put together and my portfolio and then I am done. I have the editing for my film being done as we speak and this will be projected with in my enclosed installation and the shadows will play on the garments and embroidery.

Within the next 5 years I plan to complete my Masters in textiles, work on having my work exhibited. On graduating I will be entering the hand knitting association competition, aswell as joining their graduate page, waiting to hear if my submission for exhibiting my work has been successful and working part time to pay for my MA aswell as selling pieces of my more commercial work at craft fairs.
