Aberdeen Art Gallery - Textile project

Such a lovely project to be involved in, working in the Art gallery education room from tuesday untill Saturday, my idea was to create large origami type animals from fabric to relate to the wildlife photography exhibition being shown upstairs. It was a lot of hard work and long hours but the end result was one i was pretty happy with and thankfully the feed back has been really positive! On the saturday the public came into the studio to help us out by making pom poms- for the tails of the fox's or fluffy birds to hang in the studio, everyone seem to enjoy it and many pom poms were made by all ages from little tots to grandads ;)
