on friday when i was meant to be tackling chapter 2, making lace, i was finalising the way my piece for the Brewhouse would hang. the only great height we have at home is the stairwell so in true Heath Robinson style i have walked up and down the stairs many times and attached a pole to the bannisters! the piece is one long strip looped up so there are essentially 3 lengths hanging side by side.

such wonderful sounding occupations but in reality..........?!
This is so interesting, I love the idea of the bus tickets. I agree that the reality of the occupations might not have been so wonderful. You obviously have textiles in your genes!
ReplyDeleteI agree the occupation names sound very evocative, it's a great concept, looking forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely way to commemorate ancestors.My family research has shown lots of miners!
