sick child

I really, really wish the universe would cut me some slack. I'm just starting to catch up, do my blogging, get my 1:200 and 1:50 in order after loads of really difficult times. Then tonight my ten year old daughter Evie has come down with a bug. She has a temperature and is feeling sick. Asleep now with a double dose of calpol but my carefully laid hour by hour plans for work time and printing is well and truly scuppered if she doesn't feel well enough to go to school tomorrow. Which she probably wont.

These are the pebble formations I am talking about

This is my first model at 1:500

My design is based on the patterns of waves and the formation of sand on a beach after the waves have left. I based the paths on the way a river flows through the land, similar to the one along the coast at Cuckmere haven. I wanted to introduce land form for interest and height and also to give protection from the strong winds on the site.

So onto Sovereign Harbour. How do we transform this barren landscape into something beautiful?

This is the area I chose to transform. The shingle bank surrounding the martello tower.

Well better late than never that's what I say...

This is old news to everyone else now but as I have failed to blog properly since January I'm trying to catch up with some blog space info. and hoping not to fail this bit of the module completely. So if I have no more car crashes causing killer migraines, illness, divorce proceedings and having to sell my house (this month!), I might actually complete this degree. So on catch up here is my woodwharf competition final piece.
