Sleeve progression...

I have really enjoyed this element of the project- the lets's-experiment-and-see-what-happens approach really suits me as a person. Just playing with bits of calico and discovering all the different things I can get the materials to do. Playing with shape and depth- re-discovering all my G.C.S.E maths knowledge I thought I'd never use again. Who'd have thought knowing your circumference equations would be helpful????
I've discovered in this project that I'm a very proactive worker. If I can't picture something I make a maquette, if I can't do something I find something else until I have a way to finish it, if something is taking a long time I work out quickly the most efficient and time practical way of doing it. I find myself constantly moving and rarely giving myself time to sit there and dwell on what's gone wrong, what I can't do. If you can't do it there and then- move on- find something else and come back later. I've found that sitting and staring at something is very rarely enough to help you find the answer and time is too precious a commodity to waste. My dance teacher once said to me 'forget about the mistake you just made- it's in the past... worry about the one you're about to make!'
