Wedding hats

One of our daughters is marrying and we're told we have to wear hats.   Here are some hats that daughter and I have made.

Last week, granddaughter #1 turned up at tae kwon do in her new silver hat!  And here are inspirations:

I think I'll photo hats at the wedding.

Fine art - first class print making

My sister's been awarded a first class honours in her fine arts degree after eight years balancing part time study with part time work.  Her final exhibition was a couple of months ago - introduced here https://audioboom.com/boos/3275106-ba-fine-arts-final-exhibition-2015.

My sister specialised in print-making Exploring through print-making.   Some of her papier mache look like death masks, and that's on purpose because she was exploring the theme of mortality.  Mortality interested her because of a number of deaths in our family over the last few years while she was studying. Hear her describe her work on this theme at https://audioboom.com/boos/3276557-fine-art-mortality-with-cath-hartnett.


The last photo is of a papier mache of our mother's hand, frail with age. Even through the paper, you can  see the wedding ring on her fourth finger.
