Moth Update and Summer Project...

Firstly, an update on the moth issue. Devastatingly the problem was emitting from my beloved moss lady! :'( So I had to get rid of her, when I looked up close she had moth goo and larvae all cuddled up in her lovely wool :( On the upside of this issue, I now have more space to make other lovely goodies, and have no more moths! *Phew*

Right, yesterday I recieved an email from Huddersfield uni, giving me details of a summer project I have to complete for the start of term. I'm REEEALLY excited about this project, it's called the "Dream Rocket Project", and basically I have to create a 15cm X 15cm panel that will in some way represent my ideas for a better future, to then be placed on a 363ft rocket in America.

As anybody who knows me will already be aware of, nearly every piece of work I do directly relates to nature, and I'm very concerned with environmental issues such as pollution, global warming etc. I think I am going to use pollution as my starting point, focusing on materials that are often thrown away that then come to harm the environment.

I am REALLY looking forward to this project, and think it gives me a great opportunity to broaden my use of different materials etc. I'm going to go write up some ideas now, but I will keep you updated with images of it's progess etc! :D

Moth Infestation?

I have recently found about 5 small moths around my room, which is not good for me given my irrational fear of moths. I also found a couple of moth grubs crawling up my walls. I'm positively kacking myself, as I fear they may have infested my wool stash and have no idea how to get rid of them. I am moving away for University in 23 Days (OMG!) and really don't fancy taking an infestation with me, as that could really ruin my moving experience!! :|

If anyone has any idea how I should proceed to tackle this issue it would be reeeeeally appreciate it, as I'm writing this whilst curled up in a corner of my room rocking back and forth! :(

Caio! x
