New items for sale in my etsy shop...

Since finishing college in Camberwell for the summer I decided to earn some more money ready for going to university in Brighton. I thought about doing some more cushions so I posted some of the bird ones I made last summer on my etsy... http://www.etsy.com/shop/BeciMay?ref=si_shop. Here are the pictures of my blue tit cushions, I'm going to make some more things in my time off aswell so keep checking !...

Hanging our final show...

So after I completed my project with just a few days to spare it was time to hang the show. I knew from the start that I wanted to have my cushion on a shelf but I didn't really know how to show the concept behind my project.

I decided on using photographs of the cushion in use and combined with the background environment to show where the idea for the pattern came from. My initial presentation ideas were to use the big photographs...

I liked how they look but I thought they were maybe a bit too big, they aren't eye level which makes it difficult to look at from close up. I then thought about using the small photos horiszontally...

I eventually decided because the cushion is horizontal to have horizontal cushions looks a bit strange. So finally I decided on having the small photos vertically...

Overall I am pleased with the outcome I think it turned out as well as it could have done. Here are some more snaps of us just putting up the show...

The Camberwell Foundation Final Show is open from the 16th-20th April 2011 for more information visit the website...http://www.camberwell.arts.ac.uk/summershows2011.htm

Final Piece...

Well I have FINALLLYYY finished my cushion and I am so glad, I was really getting fed up with it. It took a lot longer than I thought which was quite a big problem because my project was time restricted it was difficult to keep on time with the plan that I made because I made it before I knew what I was going to be making. I think it would have been more successful if I have revised my time plan after I had started and I knew what I was making so that I could a lot my making time better.

Anyway here are the photos. The idea behind it was to get cushions that interact with the background and provide a customized cushion for mass produced areas. When removed from it's environment and placed in a gallery environment the cushion and thus the small section of background greatly changes and your attention is drawn to the unusual patternation.
