I came across the work of textile artist Rosie James recently and I was reminded that I had looked at her work before. I found her use of transparent fabrics and loose threads very inspiring for an art project based around childhood. I was originally presented with the title 'Sanctuary' which made me think of an emotional place where you feel content, safe, at peace and therefore confident. I think that it is difficult to achieve this but for me the closet thing was childhood. A child has few inhibitions, a wonderful imagination and is hopefully surrounded by loved ones who provide comfort and security.
These are a few of my favourite pieces of work from the project.

| This is a multi-media piece. I used watercolours and hand stitching on hand-made paper. Making the paper was very much a trail and error experience! I placed pieces of loose thread in the paper mixture before it dried and I really liked the effect created. |
