Once home I spent most of the week considering what to put into my final show at college, its difficult to decide as my last project, while interesting to work on, didn't really pan out as planned and I'm not sure it holds up to display!! The work is currently in college being marked I'm going to seek it out next week and see it it looks better then I remember when I've had a few days away from the intensity of trying to get it finished to hand in.Having no work deadline pressures or city breaks to plan means I have found time to sort out my 'studio' - grand name for spare room - all my fabric has been colour coded (again) and stored neatly (again) and in the spirit of using found fabric I used a lovely teal silk sari and some cream and green voile pieces to make some summer living room curtains as a change from the more formal rather dark usual suspects. So now I have three windows and a door curtain all with completely different fabrics dressing them - it works because nothing else matches - I'm not one for tidy matching colour schemes. I work on the slam it in principle that more is more and all colours go together if you have enough of them!! Not everyone's taste but it suits us. It doesn't matter if items get lost, old or worn out they are easily replaced with some other eclectic object.
Anyway new curtains give the room a fresh look and its easier then redecorating! Next I want to recover my bargain junk shop armchair.... just another job on my ever growing to do list.
