Just a mini-update tonight, at the end of a weekend which has seen us collect the first batch of the "Alice" show from Rydal (we ended up taking that much work there, its going to be at least one more journey, as we inconveniently have a Vauxhall and not a Hercules).
However, this weekend has also seen the slightly frantic attempts to finish off two other mini projects, one apiece, for an open call at Cupola in Sheffield. On the theme originating with the quote "The Beautiful is Always Bizarre", we both had separate projects we could work up to finished pieces, although to a somewhat tight deadline...
Amy has been playing a lot with a bit of kit from her new job, which is a close-up camera which runs off a USB, and that playing has featured seashells, gems, fossils, and flowers.
The idea is for a big collage of lots of small images. More on it if it gets picked for the final show.
Onto my (Bens) idea, which is discussed in greater depth over on the model making blog, but sufficed to say that what felt like a good idea on paper didn't quite cut the mustard for this call when tried with a quick practise piece http://bensmodel-makingworkbench.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/down-river.html
Happily however I had a backup idea, which, again, if the piece is chosen for the show there will be more coming up in a future blog post...
