Despite popular opinion I have been keeping my mind pretty active over this festive time. Before we finished for Christmas we were told about a kite flying trip to Glossop in March. This involved creating my own kite or flying machine(!) Considering my obsession with all things winged (flies and wasps excluded), this may turn out to be my best project so far.... I have been considering different kite designs in which i could incorporate wings/feathers. I particularly like the myth of Daedalus and Iccarus, who made wings out of feathers and wax to escape imprisonment. Perhaps this could be a possible design idea.
Other thoughts have been on my next project, largely involving myths and legends. I find the stories intriguing and exciting as the creatures evolve in your mind as you read them. I would perhaps like to create my own versions of these creatures using altered books and altered photography etc.
