Even More Words

I just re-read an email from Siân which jogged my memory. Other words that should join the list are:

pipes
wires
tiles
furniture
fabrics, textiles

I am not really sure where this list would or should end. If I listed every single component that went in to the building of it, we could be here for months. So I think I might draw a line here. However, if someone thinks of something very clever please let me know.

More Words

As I suspected, there are many more words to go on this list, but as I hadn't expected, some of them were already on the list and got dropped off when I clicked to send the previous post.

Here are the extras:
MY HOME – LIST OF WORDS

timber
brick
glass
metal
stone
shiny
dull
smooth
rough
transparent
rippled
opaque
bubbly (old glass)
gardens
trees
flowers
vegetables
green
gravel
shade
shadows
water

I hope I haven't duplicated anything here, although nothing would surprise me.

More New Beginnings

The good - no, best - news is that I have finally settled on a Research Topic, and Siân is in agreement. Hurray. The topic is 'My Home' and the main reason for this choice is that my physical mobility is extremely limited and I live in a small town in the country with not much in the way of inspiration locally. Travelling is not an option, so I was compelled to choose something that was here, and what could be more 'here' than the home I live and work in?

I think this is going to be quite interesting. I had wanted to do something to do with architecture and had almost settled on 'Fenestration', however Siân felt that this could be a bit broad, so the thinking cap went back on and the next thing to come out was my own house.

The word list is done, as is the spider diagram both of which I will post (as soon as I work out how to do it).



MY HOME – LIST OF WORDS

shelter
protection
inside
outside
warmth
coolness
comfort
love
entertainment
change
stasis
celebration
design
colours
work
relaxation
happiness
sadness
food
housekeeping
friends
family

I guess there will be more words to add to this list. If anyone reading this has any suggestions, don't be shy, please let me know.

NEW BEGINNING

Another Distant Stitch student and I began our courses at the same time last year. Neither of us has achieved anything like the outcome we foresaw or wanted, so now we have decided, metaphorically speaking, to kick each other's butts in an effort to keep us on the straight and narrow. She lives in Kuwait, I live in Australia. Thank heavens for emails.

Anyway, I have decided to change tack altogether and have chosen an entirely different research topic: Fenestration - windows and doors. There is lots of scope to go absolutely mad, and there is also the opportunity to focus in on something specific. To this end I have prepared a list of words I associate with this topic, and have prepared a spider diagram, although they are not yet in a state where I can post them here. Next time.
