I have now finished the second piece of the Stuart Casket as can be seen in the first image.

The fascination with the project is strong; the idea that the work of young women, possibly teenagers, is worthy of obsessive and meticulous free machine drawing, even though the original is so faded and damaged. And my boys, hours spent playing on line with nothing to show for the hours of gaming - but they are completely absorbed and have lots of fun communicating with their friends over the challenges they face.
But, the work is very hard to do and therefor it is growing slowly and I am worried about completing the work before the exhibition at Newark Park in June. However I might try to hurry the process I am unable to miss any of the detail - something that may or will become lost when the backing fabric is finally dissolved with water. For now, I will make the final part of the front and then try to decide on the best way to take the project forward.
