Princes Street Gardens

This is a photo i took around January and it has just been selected from my flickr page to be shortlisted for an online map company. I receive no payment though which is gutting, but i'm happy all the same it has been selected.

5 Stitch Book Binding Practice









My first ever attempt at 5 Stitch Book Binding and i'm really happy it worked as it was really quick to do and i can now begin to apply this technique in binding my second mosaic book. Good times!
For the book though i am hoping to use a thicker piece of thread.

Mosaic Book Project



Mosaics.
The word i was designated for a uni project. The brief is to split my chosen subject into 4 different sub-headings and then create a book for each(minimum 500 words in each). All 4 books must also be kept together in a vehicle of some sort......
I chose a room as my vehicle, and in this room 4 mosaic pictures will hang, each representing a sub-heading. The idea surrounding this is that the 4 books will act as a catalogue to each mosaic picture, just like in an exhibition.
Above are just 2 of the mosaic pictures i have made(both took AGES), i have made another 2(again taking ages) but i haven't scanned them in yet. Even though all the pictures took a long time i really enjoyed making them and i feel they look really good.
I have done quite a bit for this project so far and i'm really looking forward to seeing all the final outcomes come together in the one catalogue...
