And I found this, which I think is rather lovely. Aspirational up-cycling in action.
This is in the dining room of a rather trendy boutique hotel in Clerkenwell, London. The dining room was divided by three of these - constructed using bits and pieces from rather unspecial furniture.
I am a bit lacking in the woodworking skills or I would try to replicate this idea for my sewing room, which I am determined to 'sort out'!
For the last course I did (C&G Creative Textiles level 1) I had one photo on which to start the creative journey. This time I don't have one image. I think I will use a number - and I know its a bit cliched - but I think I will use leaves as the starting point.
Anyway, looking forward to Monday evening. So exciting. Have treated myself to a new sketchbook! And I do love a new sketchbook.
A new sketchbook and leaves :) sounds great, see you on Monday! x
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it very much. Sorting bits and bobs out now.
ReplyDeleteSounds very exciting! May be my turn to be jealous! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa Kim - Milton Keynes Adult Education is not quite Morley college - I just don't think we'll have access to the sort of equipment and studio space that you have. Jane (who left the top comment) is great and I am sure she won't mind my saying this. I did level 1 a couple of years ago with her and I really enjoyed it. Of course I'll show you how things are going on my blog - and infact am just sorting out my leaf photos from Westonbirt last Autumn.
ReplyDeleteJane has promised us a few new techniques - so really looking forward. Lots of leaf colour to work with.
