Everything complete, finished Saturday afternoon. I was originally going to just have things under the glass top of the cabinet with sketchbooks in the top drawer, but I thought it would be a waste of some of the other work I had done so I decided to have two drawers. One with personal items and the other with museum items in which I stuck to the drawers with small pieces of double-sided tape so they wouldn’t move when opening. I also put a sign on the top of the cabinet so people could know they could look through sketchbooks and left the top drawers slightly open to make people want to view my work. I also decided to paint the inside of those drawers white because they weren’t very clean inside and had paint marks everywhere.
I had a bit of trouble with the label plates as I was going to put on handles or new plates but ran out of time, so when It came to putting them back on I had to improvise and use drawing pins as I didn’t have some of the pins which were used to fix the plates on.
I actually like how they look with the drawing pins
I made labels like you get in a museum for the items under the glass and had the real items next to the drawings to show real vs drawing and give that museum feel of objects under glass. The labels were fiddly and took a long time but worth it.
I’m really happy with how everything has turned out and I hope people who come to the degree show like it too
