Caption: HAND CARVED MEMORIES... Objects hold massive importance to me...& this week for my project with @rhodesweddingco I wanted to think about why, and also what significance other people put onto their own objects...
The table is the foundation of my domestic life...but that stems from pure practicality rather than any romance...
Picture
Caption: I bought the table about 14 years ago...this is my late father sitting at the table mending things ( & my son ignoring the table! )
Picture
Caption: I loved looking at other tables too; seeing how unimportantly essential they are; like big, silent giants of the family...
Picture
Caption: my partner's table...
Picture
Caption: my grandpa's table...
Picture

( the same chair at the back of the table is at back of the last photo! )

Caption: THE STORY...
( please scroll down to read )
Some people feel strongly about objects, & I was fascinated to ask people what ’thing’ they thought represented something of who they are and what their life is...I wanted to imagine how it would translate into their own life band...so I asked some friends...
This cup and saucer shows Susan's ( @subeepix ) grandparents' caravan...her grandfather saved up to buy it...There was a lot of love for this caravan...and then Susan’s family moved to Japan when she was still quite young, and the caravan was sold...
It was at this point Susan told me she's had a Campervan for about 10 years...she said it was nothing special but it was something she really loved...
It turned out 'Dolly' was her life object!

Picture
Caption: THE ARRANGEMENTS... I was inspired by Dolly the Campervan for the table arrangement with the rings this week...it was her orange; the vibrancy of her colour that defies each rusted corner or fading of life...
The orange left me in no doubt that there was definitely life in Dolly, despite her beautiful imperfections...perfect inspiration for a life band
