I am keeping my sketch book most days capturing scenes and objects I find interesting for this parallel project. After Assignment 1, I am thinking about trying to develop something using textiles, sewing, glueing or mixing medium and see what happens.
I like looking at these artists work:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayson_Perry

My Sketche book :
I am thinking of trying to transfer one of these drawing into a fabric, or trace it and use textiles to achieve a similar image.
