when I looked at the sky it was wool
Finally I’ve finished this project, but I’m not sure how I feel about it! Interesting though that it looks exactly how I envisioned it. Best leave it alone now for a while and come back to it later…
To refresh: I took a photo of the sky every day in the morning for a week, then matched the colour of the sky to wool then knitted a piece to fit a frame. I bought the frames second hand, some of them still had pictures in them (intriguing but more on that later).
I wanted to create a homely display for the frames and used second hand wallpaper. I remember researching a little into modes of display in the home when I was doing an MA, though for the life of me I can’t find these sources. The MA was years ago now but I discovered my essays and research papers today and they make interesting reading. It appears that I am still on the same tracks with similar interest which is handy; my research is still pertinant.
