Project Update 2nd Feb

Due to the situation at Warner Textile Archive, where they are are unsure of their future funding and therefore the opening of their gallery, we have taken the decision to postphone the project. All members that have currently registered an interest in participating will be included when the project goes ahead. Please can members log into the web-site under Members Section, Committee News for further information.

Lots!

I think roughly 30 members have registered for the project - where are they all???

How Many of Us?

I was just wondering, how many of us are participating in this project? I see on the side it has listed 4 Followers - I'm not one of those, because I didn't choose that option. I'm using Google Reader which updates me on new postings to the blogs I have listed under Subscriptions - still not absolutely sure what practical difference there is between a Follower and Subscriber.
I do have my own blog, but am by no means a wizzard at it - but I just wanted to say to others, perhaps not familiar with blogger, its very easy to post a new post like this - or to add you own thoughts to a posting by using the Comments button.
So now the New Year is here... and the snow has gone... is it time for us to get working on our OJ pieces, and more importantly to get chatting and sharing in the process.

Time to think

I went to the OJ Study Day at the Warners' Archive in the summer, however apart from downloading my photos I haven't done anything further with what I intend to do for the exhibition.  I've been busy doing craft fairs in order to try and sell my knitted scarves and capes, and what with other Christmas preparations had intended to put it completely on hold until the new year.

However last week I was stuck waiting for a train with nothing to read or do.  So I thought about what I wanted to achieve personally from the project, with design and technical possibilities and experiments, and what I could produce that  would still fit the criteria.  Luckily I did have a small notebook so was able to make a note of these ideas.  And then I remembered something that James Hunting said at the ERTF launch day - that you don't always have to be stitching, designing etc, but that sometimes it is just as important to just sit and think.  

Anyone Got Anywhere???

Hi fellow oj bloggers-------has anyone got anything to post? Has anyone made a start?? I've just got loads of pattern and colours going around.........at the V&A this week I was amazed at the brightness and intensity of the colours of the wallpapers I looked at.......you imagine Victorian interiors to be so dingy.........................
