30 Jul The Birds and The bees – part 1
Well dear readers I promised to tell you what I have been up to recently and why I have been absent from this blog. Apart from suffering from a bit of bloggers block. I was working on a large commission for a new hotel in London, that is opening in August.
I had to make 5 large pieces, that reflected the hotel’s location, near to of our best museums, The Victoria and Albert Museum and The natural history museum.
The pieces I created used a pattern from an 18th century textile that is in the V&A combined with birds and insects.
Here are the drawings I did for them. I use these as my templates for cutting, though I change bits as I go along and final arrangements only happen once all the cutting has finished.
I will post the finished pieces in my next post.
