The things to do list.






I have been missing updating my blog for a while as it has been very busy with the final piece for the degree show. I have done 80 wall tiles, nearly 32 floor tiles (I have 5 left to do and I am going to do them this morning). I found a toilet from my street which was a part of a whole bathroom set actually. Even thought it was suggested, I decided I don't want to have somebody else's old bathroom in my back garden just to wait that I might do something with it some day. So I just took the toilet. I think the neighbors thought me asking for that was weird enough. I spotted the toilet in the middle of the night, but didn't want to be a thief, so I slipped a note to their mailbox, introducing myself as an artist and inquired if it was possible for me to collect the toilet the next day. And they got back to me via phone and my housemate and boyfriend assisted to get the thing in the garden. So that is the story of the toilet. After manic cleaning with all sorts of poisons and rubber gloves I started to work on it. The last weeks as I have been feeling like a taylor, -for a toilet. I truly hope that my future clients will be humans.

Now waiting for the final piece images, I will share the some pictures with the work in progress. It has been progressed more since then, but if I share those images now, then maybe the end result is not going to be so exciting to see!

The rest of today's plan is to follow my things to do list which is:

Knit 5 tiles
Plan and knit details (toilet paper, toilet roll holder)
Go to University
Sew tiles on to foam board
Planning and making mechanism
Calculate how much velcro I need (and preparing to pay myself sick for it, I can't believe how expensive it is outside of the University!)

So, quite a few things to do. See you later!
