The Ward Project: November 2010

http://thewardproject.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 3 November 2010. A left hand A3 pen drawing translated into stitch. This time of my Great Auntie Vi. I actually met her and Great Uncle Harold. Although they both died within a month of each other when I was about 9. I think 1997 ish, I remember this because Uncle Harold was born in 1899 and he almost saw 3 centuries. I seem to have made G.Aunt Vi progressively more miserable in each stage of the drawing process. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ katewarddesign.blogspot.com.

The Ward Project: Working with an audience

http://thewardproject.blogspot.com/2011/04/working-with-audience.html

Friday, 15 April 2011. Working with an audience. There has been studio based chaos this week, I've been doing lots of late nights and had a small crisis midweek, but that's resolved itself now. I'm quite enjoying working with what is now quite the little audience of faces. I'm really pleased the hessian pots, more than the ones which are just embroideries on calico.

The Ward Project: Faces and hessian in clay

http://thewardproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/faces-and-hessian-in-clay.html

Sunday, 6 March 2011. Faces and hessian in clay. Having been to see Sarah Purvey I got loads of ideas and since then I've done lots of experiments and I think I've almost come to a conclusion. I really really liked the imprint of the hessian on the clay, it made the faces stand out really nicely and really made the most of the texture by complimenting the texture of the stitch. Anyway here they are, Grandpa Holmes is looking pleasingly grumpy as ever! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Ward Project: The stray 'Gardner' in the Holmes Family.

http://thewardproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/stray-gardner-in-holmes-family.html

Sunday, 6 March 2011. The stray 'Gardner' in the Holmes Family. Well I was wondering where the name Gardner kept popping up from - it's not a name of anyone that i've heard of in the family. I had a look at the family tree and worked out that there were some Gardner's on the Holmes side of the family but none of them were direct relatives of Jessie Elizabeth Gardner Ward (nee Holmes). Having spoken to Dad, he tells me that the story goes something like:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I hope to be i...

Sunday, 31 October 2010. Email from My Auntie Jean. I emailed my lovely Auntie Jean in France, asking about family, memories, personality and anything else she can remember about the Wards;. Hello, nice to get your mail,. Will crank the ole memory into action re family stuff, did you meet uncle Harold?

Dad had an impish sense of humo...

Tuesday, 8 March 2011. Today would have been Grandad Ward's 100th Birthday. Here's some photos of him looking lovely. There's not very many photos of him in the biscuit tin collection. Dad says that he was always the photographer. I've drawn him for The Ward Project recently, he's got a nice face to draw. Sunday, 6 March 2011. The stray 'Gardner' in the Holmes Family.
