Blog post 30

A very big thank you to everyone who followed my journey in using the blogging process to develop my artwork. I had my assessment this week and the lecturers are very excited about the project. They have told me to put my other projects on hold until next year and concentrate on developing Marushka's story further.
I need to develop an installation of a big graphic novel with stitching and embroidering that the public can walk into and interact with. I have three months to do this in!
So here is a big request/plea from me to all who read the story for some input/feedback/ideas/comments on how to do this successfully.  You could tell me which images worked for you as I have to redo quite a bit and tell the story visually, without any script.
I am taking a week off to "rest" and work on my written assignment and take my dogs for runs.

Thank you so much
Marushka

After his servant alerts him, the squire stays up

          all night and waits for her to emerge from the flower


                                When he sees Marushka dancing

he grabs hold of her

Marushka does not return to the flower

           but marries the squire...she now lives in Cape Town

                    He orders his servant to dig up the flower

                 and place it in a flowerpot on his mantelpiece



                          At night Marushka emerges from the flower

                             and dances around the room

                     That night Marushka dies and is buried ...

                      A beautiful flower grows on the spot


            One day a squire and his entourage come riding past

                          and he sees the beautiful flower

                      "They must take you out of the house

                              through a window", she says

                      "Do not let them take you to the church.....




                     but into the forest and they must bury you

                       where two roads meet..."

Marushka goes to see her grandmother for advice

                              Her grandmother says,

                 "When they come to carry you out of the house,

              do not let them take you out through the front door...
