Final Major Project

And so..... the next creative stint begins..... THE FINAL MAJOR PROJECT!!! using all the imagery I collated in the minor project module I intend to create at least 6 scarf collections - each collection having 4 designs (possibly seasonal) and 4 colour ways for each design.... I have done a plan - mapped out a vague to do list using my never fail, 60% plan 40% to play with and I have started to consider the layouts and imagery for each collection. I have no doubt what so ever I will completely change the whole thing half a dozen times but that's par the course and a lot of the fun....

I have been in Christmas card production mode hoping to make some cards to sell at a fair being held this weekend only they didn't work out as I wanted so will not raise funds to keep Dr Fred in mince pies this year! They will however start a scarf design process and potentially be our personal Christmas cards once I have had time to refine them. Meanwhile in between packing stray books away ready to move house, I have been slaving over a hot Photoshop computer and I am starting to play with ideas. I have sorted some drawings out and got them ready for a mass photocopy tomorrow so I can have a hands on play. Photoshop is great form messing about but you cant beat a good bit of cutting and sticking!!! Collection 1 is beginning!

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
