| Blackpool Beach |
During the first week of Unit X we have been set to go to archives. Tuesday we took a trip to Blackpool and visited the sea front, the big disco ball sculpture and the illuminations centre where the illumination sculptures were designed and made. Out of this trip I did not really have a good idea about what to actually focus my work of, but was most interested in the wires at the illuminations, I was fascinated by how hectic the wires were and how many bundles of them there was, all very colourful and all tangles together.

| Silk Museum |
Also during this week we had the opportunity to visit the Macclesfield silk museum. This was really interesting, fascinating seeing a mill as it was when it was in use. I thought it was good to see how big the machines where and how much they have changed today. It also helped me to understand weave a little more as when we went to look their, I had not actually done any weaving yet.

| Wires from Blackpool Illuminations |
As the wires mostly interested me from the illuminations, I am going along with the bright flat colours similar to these, so thought as I can not get amazing drawings from these, I could look at other things relating to the bright colourfulness of Blackpool like the sweets and tack.
