I have decided to only have one piece with one of mum’s cardigans sandwiched in between (I have several left here more by accident than design), more might imply a group of people, not just mum. For the others I am making them plainer and inserting very thick grey felt between the colour and black and white sides. Chosen for its strength and solidness, flexible but firm. Nice to sew into but has depth. 100% wool ideal for mum. Tested out ideas for finishing the edges. I have decided to keep the layers and show them as part of the work. The dense layer of felt – could have been even thicker.

So why am I prevaricating still about what I am doing? Whilst continuing to make more pieces I have also gone back to this construction.

I really like this idea but it would have to be huge to work. It would also be very expensive to print something this size on fabric which it demands. Perhaps if I get my points I can push this further on the degree course. I like the use of fabric for personal subject, it is touchable, not hard.
