Paul Thompson Tutorial – QR Scanning with Smart phones
I am exploring QR scanning with  smart phones.  This may resolve the audio presentation difficulties in previous projects.  I was kindly given a tutorial with  instructions  on the process.  The next stage will be to attempt the process.  Fingers crossed.   
Isobella Walker Tutorial – Reverse Applique Sample
The practical demonstration of reverse Applique  provide a sample and a possible solution for the project. The tutorial reveals equipment required and the safe working practices are required for this process.
 
Sample
Textile tokens research representing “time swatches” link to Label samples.  labels with block ink text and textile fragments represent layers of Memory.
Sample Development
Textile with layers of bondaweb and foil with iconic heart symbol. 
Development
Tokens of textiles taken to photo montage with clothes representing ordinary and familiar that have personal associations . 
Access to Mac Photoshop via college - Sections of photographs, layers of copy, isolate clothes. I will require technical practice to prefect techniques.  An alternative option with  old tech with  enlarging Photocopied prints, cutting out clothing and pasting with glue stick created an unexpected outcome with the remaining imagery.
Contextual Studies
Class PowerPoint tutorial - Emile Durkheim
Class Notes
