Plenty has happened since my last post. Mainly, I keep buying cupboards. Three, to be precise, or even four if you count the bedside cabinet I noticed in the secondhand furniture shop while searching for cupboards and realised it would be perfect for our spare bedroom.
But THE cupboard still eludes me. I'm looking for something wooden, with double doors, that I can fill with surreptitious photographs. So first, I found a glass-doored bookcase for only a tenner that might be adaptable if I can't find anything better. Thought I'd better snap it up. Saw the bedside cabinet. Didn't have enough cash so asked shop to hold it for a couple of days. Went back to Norwich and happened to spot a small wooden single door cupboard. Thought it might do if I can't find anything better. Bought it for £4. While in charity shop, spotted white melamine kitchen/bathroom cupboard. Thought nothing of it at the time. Once home, hankered after it: might work conceptually if I can't find anything better. Went back to Norwich and bought it for £5. Have now spent £19 on cupboards and they are filling up the garage and none of them are quite right for this piece of work. Oh well. Back to Norwich after the bank holiday I guess.
Meanwhile, I'm transferring photographs onto white tee shirts of differing sizes. Lots of them. The transfer process makes the living room smell funny, but I think I've finished now.
And I've had AO-sized blueprints made of four of the most phallic poppyheads you can imagine. They are pretty shocking. The young man in the copy department stepped backwards, wincing, when the first one came out of the printer. Yay!
Lots more printing to do at home, too – it's costing a fortune in ink, let alone cupboards. But now I've sent out email notification to over 200 people, there had better be something for them to see if they venture up to North Norfolk in a month's time.
