Nope. It did not crash. Caught it! Sure I'll come and see when I am in town. Might have to be on a Saturday though. After Westminster and before I rail out of London. Are you allowed at uni on a Saturday?

Lola, please let us know if you visit Poppie at uni. Wouldn't that be fun!

Will do, Dotsie. It's always fun meeting up with Poppie.

That is one exibition out of the way for this semester and again...I did rather well, covered all aspects that I set out to do. We submit our work next Monday..so I have a few more days to get it all into order.

Dots and JJ,I hope you can see what my excited little bluster was all about now. You cannot see the little flower when photographing the whole instalation..so I have posted it all on is wee ownio.

Poppie

Really cool and gorgeous!

Thanks Mer,
it was a fun installation..and the exibition was a hoot..did you like my wee owl,?, she was etched and hand engraved. We have a timeline object and power point five min presentation on wed comming...eek! Tomorrow!!
This semester has been a real treat for me personally. So we have three weeks off now after the presentation to do a tonn of visual research on 'body adornment'..this will lead toan end of year 'catwalk show'...which I am way excited about.
Even the 98 analytical drawings are not phasing me(yes 98!!)
I will be keeping ya'll posted.

Big Loves.

Poppie

Well done, once again, Poppie. Your work is beautiful. Next time Pops and I come to London, we will be sure to check out the workroom with you.

I'll try and catch you for a chat on Saturday. Missed you last weekend.

You are learning so much. This is most impressive. I love the flower pin. It's gorgeous.

Please tell us more about body adornment. I'm curious.

Hope to see soem of those ninety eight sketches. Good grief. When do you sleep?

Thanks for the positive comments Dotsie, the little flower was in the centre of the tree to be 'protected'. As for the sketching..that will take some courage to post! I am still quite shy, even though I am not as worried as last year..this aspect of my work is a work in progress.
The 'body adornment' is the most challenging module, but also the most fun. We are given an open ended approach to re-define jewellry through the body as a canvas. We must produce one large 3d peice and one small peice..having collated a large ammount of visual research and chosing aspects to design and make. Its a big module...so tonns of sketching, recorded information on how we have adorned the body in historical terms and contemporary too.
It opens the door to an excited gathering of my own notion of what body adornment is and how I can represent this in my work.

What is different for me this semester is that I am not starting a project(inside out) with an end set of peices...I have eventually got the concept where my primary sketching and secondary information will evolve(out side in) into two peices of work deemed tecnically and visually worthy of being shown at 'the end of year catwalk'

The whole cohort are excited about this, so it is good that everyone is pulling together and all the little cliques are being dispersed.

As usual, I will be keeping everyone interested up to speed.

Much Love

Poppie

Thank you for your continued sharing of your successes and trials through your uni years. I, for one, cannot wait to see what this new project brings out in you and your friends.

Love to you. Ann
