Fabric Pelmet

Fabric Pelmet made and hung. So pleased i can finally see it all coming together.

Fininshed Apple

Using my new method to support and create my new solid apple i have finally hopefully finished my apple

BAD Apple

A matter of weeks untill the final show and weeks worth of work the final peice for the centre stage has collapsed. A desaster however at least this has happend at this stage were i can start again. A new stratagy must be concidered.

Making Smaller apples

I have begun to create the smaller apples which surround the main apple. I have taken real apples, varieing in size (cooking apples, granny smiths) and have used the same method as the large centre apple and used degummed silk filiment waste and covered them. Then i intend to cut them open and remove the apples. I have kept these plain as i feel they will be more effective.

Testing ideas

I have sampled some ideas for the decoration of the apple, by creating smaller scale apples and decorated using, pomigranet seeds, leaves, and twiglets. I feel they are effective in a small scale but on a much larger scale apple may not have the impact. Also i feel it would be too much of a risk to add on the apple as i am extremly happy with the overall look so far. Also i am concidering including a feature of a snake in the centre of the apple to create a feature within. Creating a stronger link to the creation story.

Progress with A Tale of Temptation

This is the progress so far into creating my final peice. The apple is not yet in place however shown in the photo is the foam template. The hanging method is complete along with the fabric layers. Area need 'touching' up to ensure i capture the purity i wish to find through this creation. Also i will introduce further trees and i must begin to assess lighting techniques. Overall i am pleased with the progress so far.
