Had a one-to-one tutorial with Jenny this week who suggested that, given the fact that there are only a few weeks before Christmas, I concentrate on the coffee rings element of the project. I had hoped to be able to develop the moss cushions as this was an area of the project I felt quite excited and motivated about. However, the coffee rings are much further on and I have to admit that it would be unrealistic to try and develop the moss cushions to completion in the time left, although if I have time left would love to dvelop this further.
Furthermore, Jenny pointed out that I could probably use the files I already have for the coffee rings, saving me valuable time.
I thought about using the coffee rings to create a set of coasters but I'm not sure whether this is too obvious. I'd like the coasters to incorporate some of the marks, imperfections, chips found on the edges of tables and other items but am unsure as to how I'd go about this. It also occurred to me that the shapes of the coasters did not have to be uniform and this would add more interest. The range could be developed further to include place mats that use imprints/stains left by plates and cutlery. Might try creating some of these stains if I have a chance this week.
