Textiles 'A' Level

I've decided to do a Textiles 'A' Level at school.  As I'm working in the classroom with the students I thought I might as well get something out of it.  The theme is 'Trapped, Encased, Enclosed' that sort of thing.  We're just one homework in and I'm already struggling! Trouble is it's pretty stuff again, and as we all know I have issues with pretty stuff.  All we have to do is cut out words relating to the theme and trap them on to backing paper with Sellotape.  Doesn't sound difficult does it?  But then I start thinking about relating the words to the backing paper, and if I'm cutting out the words from a newspaper what are the connotations of that...It's all too complicated!  Anyway, the next class is tomorrow so I'm taking what I've done so far.  I think I'll just see how it goes - but one thing is for sure - I am not taking part in the end of year Fashion Show at Athena!
