how do you get your materials to the studio?


Needed some wood for the aforementioned project, managed to find some quite close to home. Trees that had been felled during the recent storms (seems so long ago now that the sun is here).


Set off early morning with saw in hand focused on collecting some damn fine wood. Managed to liberate some of the felled wood, struggled back home carrying this. The wood was so awkward to carry not to mention heavy i realised i was going to have to construct something to carry it.



From this need comes the makeshift log handbag no fashion conscious student should be seen without this season.

This seemed to be quite a practical solution to my immediate problem of transporting the gathered wood and it is. However I hadn't really considered going on public transport with said apparatus!

I got on the bus quickly surveying the layout for the most suitable seat for both me and my wood. No seat space seemed adequate so i decided upon that bit at the front of buses for shopping bags, got some funny looks from the old ladies on the bus.

However not half as strange as the looks i got both standing in my local town centre waiting for the Glasgow bus and walking from Buchanan bus station up to the GSA!
