sounds

Sounds in my head..... after quite alot of tweaking and changing totally the sound backing, i think i may be happy... well for now, going to take it in and if i change my mind, i change my mind...simple...I dont put it in, I feel dreadful, my nerves are killing me, and I dont want to go to college. I could miss the bus lol.....

last few photographs

a few hairs left from the other photos

the greenery! the ribbon looks very different against the leaves,

its seemed so solomn again the bare branches, but

now a change.

Blowing in the wind

Well I made it back to the tree and to my delight the ribbon is still blowing in the wind, I saw it as I walked through the first field, it bought tears to my eyesas I got closer I noticed that the farmers had been up to the top field to put in irrigation pipes, I do wonder what they thought of the ribbon dancing while they worked, did they take time to watch?

The ribbon has been here for 3 weeks now, should I take it home or leave it,as I am writing this it is tapping me on the shoulder as if to tell me its time to go home.

Its a little more tattered but still beautiful in the sunlight.

The view has changed a little, some of the fields are now sunshine yellow with rape seed oil flowers and they contrast so beautifully with the rich green of the hedges, its sunday so the roads are quiet nothing to disturb me but the occasional niegh of a horse and a dog walker, what more could I ask, I will miss this place when I am gone, but I will always have the film, the memories and the ribbon to remind me.

here we go.........

No turning back now, open night on Tuesday, everything done, pictures to be taken on the night and will be posted, how do I feel..... worried about the assessement on Wednesday I dont seem to have much to show and tell, I want to go into the assessement feeling confident and at the moment Im so sleepy I dont have that at all. The work I have done is personal, and I hope that people get it to a degree, or at least see it for its beauty and enjoy it.

the final week............

So here we go,the final week, most stuff is done, I have a horrible cold typically, Im sure the stress smashes my immune system in to little pieces, the film is on the disc, the sound piece is being tweaked as they say ( its a technical term ) I listened to again last night and dreamt a way of improving it. At the moment it is drumming and the knitting pattern, I would like to keep that but add a bit of chatter in the background, to make it sound more like a socail event, the ladies in the Scottish Isles tended to knit in groups and gossip, listen to music, so I think I shall try to replecate that a little more. It should nt take long... hopefully.....

cocoon

I have started to tie together some ends, so to speak,

I chose not to carry on with the knitting of the shawl and

continue with the ribbon instead as I felt that

it had more to investigate and work on.

so what I decided was to use the knitting and something

special, like my butterflies from a previous brief, I

do feel these will keep cropping up through out my

art projects and life in general.

and I made a little cocoon for them, 40 of them,

this will be going to Islay with me, to give as

a rememberance of my friend James,

he liked my work on the butterflies when I last saw him

this will be my goodbye to him as I didnt get chance

to say it properly,

I miss him, flashforward was not the same with him

to discuss it on msn, little things I miss,

but he made a choice to leave, I cannot change that

just accept it.
