This is my End of Year Exhibition Piece completed today!!! I moved on from my original 'jigsaw' picture and made this 'textile'. It's at least 18,000+ pieces of jigsaw, each pushed into the holes in nylon action mesh. They just stay there and create this huge textile sculpture which I can move around into different shapes.

Needless to say my fingerprints are now different from the callouses, and I have a huge 'broken' pieces pile. In all it took about 100 hours, and due to RSI issues I restricted myself to 3 hours a day - guess I probably spend that much time watching TV though - so not too arduous.... Hope you like it. (It's about 3m x 45cm in size when flat).

    Jodie! I think your work is just amazing - how in earth did u come up with the idea? I can't believe it can move! Like a textile -! I love the depth and the texture - it's just extraordinary - and the colour variation is so beautiful - from a distance it looks like fur! Only on the close up can u tell it's individual pieces. You deserve a top mark for innovation and a distinction for the patient hours and physical discomfort. It's truly remarkable. Xxdi
