- After a suggestion at my formative review, I have decided to include more domestic items from my home nest. In the context of lockdown, the home and garden have become more nest like than ever before.
-In reference to a drawing I did at the beginning of this project, the blanket is designed to protect me from the chaos of the modern world by bringing a piece of my nest with me.
- Incorporating leaves and natural objects from my garden,.
-Technically, I struggled with sewing the leaves to the blanket and it became to difficult. Instead I used hot glue which wasn't ideal. In future id like to try and grow the plants from the blankets fibres to create an organic connection between the material and the plants.
-Layering the leaves creates a feather like texture, which is appropriate to the way I am trying to embrace the natural behaviours of animals.
-Inclusion of domestic items that are part of my home nest.
-Reference to the drawing at beginning of project. Bringing a piece of the nest with me wherever I go.
-Materials from indoor and outdoor spaces.
-Hot glue not ideal sewing is more preferable. DO THIS FOR NEXT BLANKET.
-Temporary work- give in to nature.
Progress
- Adding moss for a soft and comfortable feel and as it is found in abundance in garden.
