So what I was going to do was string 3 jobs into one blog and compare them as I went along as they had a common core. But I am not going to do that now, as one of them has been delayed fairly long term it seems.
So I am blogging one by one kind of serial blogging?
This Middleport job is the one with the fish pond I did 12 years ago…..its hard to start this.. as I came back yesterday from my public loos job really needing to research Victorian architecture/detailing/brickwork patterns or just patterns. William Morris is someone over the years I have flicked over looking at nice and very clever patterns, Kelmscott Press calligraphy loads of stuff I like him. I have been influenced by his leaf patterns before particularly in a previous mosaic in Wantage.
Now yesterday I hear trade union leaders on the radio saying 'if its good enough for the banks, its good enough for our Utilities' this is government ownership of failed private banking houses Northern Rock etc ….water, gas, electricity power generation in government hands then.
Like the old socialist days….William Morris I suddenly find out was very influential in the British Political scene and the Socialist Movement! I never new that, and all want to do is just read about him look at his stuff and learn more about him.
But I have to go back to the fish pond I already did, years back.
Still…. talking rubbish on here will get niether done. I signed a contract and time schedules drawn up by me should be kept to, so patterns on the surface of the water is what makes the fish pond. The fish …well I got some strange and beautiful ones from the school workshop, but not real which is the rub of this project.
