'We'll do anything that makes you smile...'



Okay so I am aware that this isn't the best photo but I wanted to put this one on first before the next one to show the whole piece. This is some paper that I have made myself using brown paper and old book pages, I have also put some neutral coloured lace in there as well.

I have made paper in previous education but I have never been happier than I was with thi particular one, it is so delicate and so.... well me.

'I just love you more...'



 



I bought this beautfiul set in a vintage shop in Cardiff called 'A Vintage Affair'. It is real bone china and is a Royal Albert China collection - the design is called 'Country Roses'.

My most current brief which is running for the whole of the second term at uni is titled 'The World is Full of Objects' and specifies that we are to choose three objects (linked or not) and explore their identities through a textile means and create a final piece and supporting body of work.

This is my first object (though I am aware it is technically three) I have also chosen my collection of old spoons as an object. I have been collecting old spoons on an off and thought this would be an ideal way to utilize them.


My third object of choice is a tea bag - specifically a tea bag with a label on it. I have made this decision because I wanted my objects to link and so thought that the theme of 'tea' would be fitting to all three objects.
