Photos of glow in the dark samples

I was pleased with these glow in the dark images, which are far more successful than the actual objects. The red colour that emerged was intriguing and naturally reminded me of blood. 

Tutorial with Alice Kettle

Discussed my dissatisfaction with my multi head work, which is very tight. Also talked about the swaddling band idea that I want to make for the Work in Progress exhibition but haven't much time to do.

• open up stitches, Alice to give demo next week
• look at fabric manipulation file

Photographing glow in the dark samples

After Make It Look Good: Photographing Your Own Work, at Waterside Arts Centre

so I've booked a photographic session with technical assistance at Fred Aldous.

Multi head flax pods

I'm referencing the blue flax flower and experimenting with glow in the dark threads 

as a way of symbolising Jesus the Light of the World, in the linen. 

Hussein Chalayan has used light in his garments to expression the
