Stripes and Checks

New day back at Nuca. Second Term. New Project- Stripes and Checks. We will be having an induction in weaving. I am still having doubts as to whether Textile is the right avenue for me and spoke to Grainne my lecturer. She said that she will support me in whatever medium I choose to weave in and show me that it is not only Yarns that one can use. Doubts to one side .We have a drawing task of an hour x 3 using drawing, collage and combining the two.
I think I want to work with vintage objects and mainly clasps, so I went to a charity shop to source vintage looking buttons and clasps.
This leads me to thinking about Hands, clasping hands, holding  and keeping people together. Skin and the connection of skin on skin , like premature babies.
Contextual studies was a discussion on stripes and checks. Colour and object association.

More drawing tonight and a read of my new Orla Kiely book.
