So I've narrowed this project down to hard versus soft, and am using fabric as a way to explore it. Even with that sort of narrowness, I feel like I am floating around a bit. Maybe it is because that is sort of the mood of my day today, but none the less, it applies. I'm struggling to not think about the botany books, and the lumps and clumps, so I've tried to incorperate that into the thing(s?) I've made. I included images of the beginnings of the things I plan to present on thursday. I anticipate making quite a few more of them, and hanging them in a corner of the sink hall. I'm not sure how I am feeling about the whole thing, but I think it will act as a good aspect of research for something bigger and more intense down the line. I don't feel like it will be really an end product, but I do think it will be a good learning experience, in terms of my long term progress.
There is much experimenting to be done. I am enjoying drawing the botany diagrams, and plan to continue to do so until I get sick of them (and, hopefully, even after that). The fabric demands experimentation, too, but I am not sure in what directions. More play. Much more playing to be done.
I found a great botany website, I'm including it, so that you can take a peek, Julia: I think it's up your road.

That has alot of the photos that have been of inspiration. Unfortunatly, the program won't allow me to take them into iPhoto.
So lots of things are floating around in my head. We'll see where it goes.
