Next I cut out different sizes of the prow shape in card and taped them to a piece of wire so it could stand up. I took this photo of it lying down on some lino.
I used an online app to make the background transparent.
On the computer I put the image onto different backgrounds. The first is a page from the Concertina Sketchbook I did. The window shape in the background is a bit distracting.
This background is part of a photo I took in Toledo.
I played with the transparent image making patterns.
There is still some work to do with this part of the module but I was also looking at the next part of the course which is about containers. The final piece for this module is to make a container to hold my Venice memories in. I might not be able to keep memories in what I make but it will definitely be something in 3D.
I looked through the IKEA online catalogue and downloaded images that caught my eye. Not all of them are rectangular or square boxes!
When I was doing my original City & Guilds Creative Embroidery course I made this box book from scratch and made 3 small books to go in it.
While I was on holiday in Ireland I saw this cone on a traffic island. It reminded me of an ice cream cone. And of course that led to the song 'Just one Cornetto' and on to 'O sole mio' which is associated with gondoliers singing. I'm not sure why Venetians sing a song from Naples but maybe it's a tourist thing.
I did an internet search for other cone sculptures and art.
I researched the song.
I am going to make some paper cones and see whether I can make a container from a variety of sizes of cone. I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks for joining me today.
