One of Those days

So i am having one of those days, you know the one where everything just went wrong from the moment you woke up. my day started off decietfully, this morning looked to be quite productive but then one thing led to another and it all went down hill from about 3pm.

so this is what happened, i decided to finaly finnish my final piece (which is due on monday) by 'simply' neatening the edges; folding them over, ironing them and then bonder-webbing them into place which went ok, had a minor hiccup but i fixed it no problem. next i decided to make the loops at the top and bottom of the piece so that it can be hung using 2 rods fed through the loops easy thing to do right? turns out its not, not for me at least.
I don't want this whole post to be one giant moan so i will limit this rant to 51 words;
the iron burnt not only my carpet but parts of my work, the steam on the iron caused the fabric to get wet, which made the purple pen wihch i used to colour it in bleed and transfer onto the other half of the piece because it was folded in half.

This isn't the final piece but it is the final layout, compositions always change when i work with textile pieces, until the very last stitch. This piece isn't much different from the final piece, which i will upload when it is 100% finnished, loops and all

i've really struggled with my design boards, this one is just an a1 sheet which i have covered with the poem i have illustrated in different fonts. this is my favourite one so far.
this board is a work inprogress but its already my secound favourite, just need to add some annotations


I really am sorry for all my moaning, i promise i wont moan in the next one . . . .much anyway
