Get your cuppa now!

Right for the photo fest! Get your cuppa, sit back and enjoy the amazing work of the group of lifelong learning students at Gorseinon College, Swansea, Wales. As apposed to my last post this will not be a quicky! Now al good posts should begin with some eye candy, but Lesley took this literally! Here is her lovely box of choccies for the design element colour, this is for design not textiles. You have to click on it to have a look, zips, paper beads, rushed fabric etc all make up the choccies, good enough to eat!


It was so short on space Chris' parasol was hung up, all hand stitched daisies. Estyllt's medical hanging is there too the left too, both lovely!
Again for design these are a collaboration of the students work, mine is the flower. They were tiny little slides we made with cellophane and sequins and all sorts of other things, then photographed and manipulated, and printed onto acetate.


This was an awsome piece from a glass student, sorry if this is yours I don't know your name, but what a glorious piece of work. It is all bubbly, and of course a glass handbag - such fun!
Embroidery had a cross of hanging space - too small realy, but packed with gems!

and because I knew you would want to see the cactus! Again sorry don't know the artist's name she is not in my class.
The next part, mine are here. Love Robi's slashed and rusty looking bolsters! and Paulines hanging on the far right.

This is Sue's festival blanket, got to love the colours! Sue is doing level 3
Now to mine My sketch book with my tonal piece, hlaf photocopy half drawing in pencil.

My book at the back for industry.
The cover of Chris'? book I think!
Another section of the display. My bookwrap on the plinth with the lamp. Love Lesley's on the left again, on the coal industry, all layers of organza and machine stitch. Sandra's is the lord's prayer in welsh and english, every letter stitched, cut and reassembled. The piece hanging from the twig is Grace's and it is a piece of fabric based on bark, it has the word texture on it, it is crunch and yummy!
I don't know any of these works except Sue's festival blanket.
