When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

This was a class project in design development I did in '99, made with human hair (kindly donated by my little brother) and various mixed media found, natural, manmade and a little manipulated. We were instructed to create a 'postcard' depicting our home town, combining any recognisable elements of what we thought would best portray it etc..blah blah..hehe
Well...I was the only one who used textiles as a medium of choice, and I had used this piece in other formats to keep it interesting. I had photocopied it to paper to spirit-transfer onto dyed silk(dyed with weird puffer balls you often mistake for mushrooms on the side of the road until you kick it and yellowish/ochre dust floops out) - I'll try get a photo or scan of that into this description somehow- it's an awkward thing to try display...but gorgeous eh.. approx. 27cm X 12cm (or 10.5 X 5 inches) anyhoo- I'm submitting this old work to make way for a new piece I'm making today out of my own hair enjoy |

I've only just started textiles, in September! And currently I am uploading photos of all the different pieces Ive done and writing about the different techniques I have used, in hope that they will help someone gain inspiration or just learn more about Textiles. - When I was looking for more info there weren't many sights which offered help!
