after much dithering, pondering, sampling and general prevarication i think i have found a way forward with the collected items
a recent course on Sculptural Pockets with Debbie Lyddon gave me much food for thought, as well as a yummy recipe for flapjacks – i was not particularly happy with the “pocket” i made during the class but left buzzing with ideas, some of which i have been experimenting with
my main block here has been the thought of making more objects to hold objects which i don't need – the items were collected in a sort of magpie manner because they caught my eye or said something about the place somehow – but i don't need them or more displays of things
but I do want to honour them in some way and show they have been valued and cherished
then suddenly today everything came together ….... wrapped in a pocket, the items can return to a different part of my place for someone else to find! this idea makes me so happy because it feels so right
and it can go a stage further, with a photo of each item in its new place and a mark on a map to keep on my blog as a record
this shape is really accomodating, size is easily adjusted to fit the item
