Progress

I finally feel that I am starting to make some progress.

Resin: I'm reverting to the polyester resin for weights as the bio resin is impossible to finish to a professional standard. I'm going to use bioresin for stiffening the fabrics for the cake stands and will also be using bostik evo-stick glue as i hear it is very effective ( even if it is a bit of a retrograde step)

Cake Stands: Due to the bonas jacquard still being out of action I will be making a series of mimaki prints and laser cut doilies. I also intend to hand weave some fabric that will be used for laser cutting and complimentary products.

Career: Sue Jenkyn Jones came into uni as part of the invigilation of my degree and was nothing short of inspiring. I've made the decision to have a year out so I can just work and find my feet with regards to my career and my personal life. In essance I have realised that maybe textiles isn't the career for me right now and I need to explore the jewellery & people management route for now.

Other: Orly Corgan is nothing short of an inspiration with regards to modern embroidery her
interview is really worth reading and her work is nothing short of stunning.
