Getting up to date.

My project now has progressed to documenting social situations through observational drawings of the people and what they are doing. So, as well as looking at the cafe culture, I am also taking images from people in pubs and bars, drinking, playing darts, pool, watching the football etc. Similarly to what I was doing with the cups, I am transferring my observational drawings onto the glasses people drink from in pubs ie. pint glasses, wine glasses, tall glasses etc.
To do this I have been using glass etching tools and glass paint, which means the glasses can be washed and re-used without losing the image. I also tried Image Maker but the glue failed to adhere to the surface of the glass.
I am also continuing with the cup designs, working on my already existing designs, adding short narratives, layering images etc.
