FOLLY STONES EXPERT
ok its 2014 christmas is OVER the child is back at school and its time to get my thinking cap on again. i have managed to put it off by destracting myself with a mountain of cooking and cleaning but i have just found that my computer has wifi in the kitchen so there will be no excuses from now on!
things i need to think about are
COSTUME:
i want to look like an academic (as i am not alowed to borrow a phm jumper for health and saftey reasons)so im thinking glasses some kind of skirt and wooly tights and a cardigan. sound academic????
name: do i choose a comedy name for my name badge something like Frank or something sensible? (i like frank, frank summerston) where does frank come from what academic place…..
(break for layering the lasagna)
the university of….. Durham (this has the best academic scores for history appart from cambridge)
hi im frank summerston from durham universtiy!
HOW WILL THE DISPLAY OF STONES LOOK?:
i have a display cabinate. a flat one that you look into from above. i’m thinking of putting the stones on small canvases or blocks of wood white in colour. i would like the audience to be able to touch the stones so i will need 2 pairs of white cotton cloves (or for fun and weirdness wolly gloves coloured hmmmm maybe?i need to have a chat with someone about that!)
CATALOGUE:
i should create a catalogue (so i have a script) this will tell the story of where the stones have come from. the stones are part of a collection on loan from the…
Wessynton estate from washington in Northamptonshire the wessyngtons were residants at the old hall washington from 1183 until 1539 when they moved to sulgrave manor. where Gertrude Margaret Lowthian bell was born (14 July 1868 – 12 July 1926) the collecter of the folly stones.
HOW I CAME ACROSS THE STONES
PROGRESS:
this weekend i have asked for help with the exhibition piece on face book i have 12 people taking part so far 10 women and 2 men both of which are gay. interesting! (maybe an idea for a new project)
so i am awaiting in the post their folly stones.
ok so thats not bad for 2 hours work lasagna and jam made aswell. off to buy some specs for Frank Summerston!
