Loose Ends



A week of tieing up the loose ends of the Skills for Making project.  Mounting the final pieces takes for ever, sewing them onto card and trying to get them in the right place, straight and looking professional, I've never been a good finisher!!  The annotations take quite a bit of sorting out too - how not to ramble but make sure relevant material is included... I think this project has been the most challenging I've done so far as it took me so long to find my way with it.  Nothing really flowed and it was beset with various problems from the start. I expected to be pleased to see the back of it but in fact I'm just starting to see its potential - opportunities which will be applied to the next module hopefully.  I do wish I had a couple more prints though as I'd quite like to try some applique and a few ideas that have popped up! C'est la vie... next time maybe.



Four boards mounted, a technical folder stuffed full of experiments and ideas, and
accompanying sketch book all ready to hand in.  And I 'm raring to go for the next project.

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
