Progress, I feel like I am getting somewhere. Making the collages has been fun, and once I have finished these I will need to create voice recordings for each, and buy the props that will complete the installations. It’s very exciting that I can now see how this will work. The only perceived difficulty is that the final pieces will not show off their full effect as a photo on my blog.
Step 1, making holes
Step 2, stitching
Step 3, taping the reverse side
Step 4, cutting out objects and positioning
Step 5, making more holes and more stitching
Step 6, a finished collage
Step 7, but matching props and photograph them as a still life in front of the collage
Step 8, make voice recording
Step 9, add voice recordings to each collage
Wow! This looks oddly fun! Fab to see your work.

Thankyou Angel. I’m now preparing for the third phase. Finding animal spirits that I can use for the masks.

I can’t wait to see the completed versions Richard and I’m very impressed with your stitch work too, I’m totally useless at sewing !

This sewing is actually really straight forward. The key is making all of the holes first.

This is great, Richard. I’m all for building the image after the image is made (straight photography bores me a little) and you’re doing something amazing here. Can’t wait to see how this all finishes up.

It’s going to take a while, but I’m getting there. I’m in the process of embroidering a peacock onto a self portrait today. It’s a long and complicated process, but it’s so relaxing.
