reviewing, 'to do' list and deadline

Okay, the visitors have gone, the laundry's done.  Where was I?

My plan had been to 'investigate the relationship between feminism and home crafts' to create collaged images.  I have already done a lot of my research.  The topic is complex - individual attitudes to feminism and class/poverty preventing any simplification.  I started with a simple question to the question 'Are you a feminist?' to friends and relatives.  I decided to incorporate the forty responses in my designs. 

By home crafts, I mean knitting, crochet, embroidery, dressmaking, patchwork etc.  Okay, but where are the references to these home crafts?  I need to research this more to clarify who, what and when then incorporate them into my work.

I have a few images so far.  Mainly of children's toys which have a gender, some suffragette images, office typewriter images and one of a 1950s embroidery.  I need more images - especially those which incorporate stitch.

I have become interested in rag books - because they tie in with repurposing textiles, they 'jar' with the responses, they relate to the images of toys and I like the 'book' format.  I have been researching the Deans rag books - I like the colourways and the naivety.

Experimentation.  I have thought long and hard about whether they should be digitally printed in the first instance then screen printed/stitched (not realistic to use repurposed textiles)or whether to screen print initially (and upcycle textiles).  I need to experiment! This is where I fall down - I don't experiment enough.  Next week I have to try both as an experiment.

I also need to do a paper mock up of a rag book. I have been told to do more testing & planning.

I also need to select images appropriate for a website which I want to start to develop as part of my professional practice. And interview professionals.

I've got less than four weeks!
