toffee hammered (suffrage window)

The window I started over a year ago now is almost complete. I have finally found an appropriate 1900's toffee hammer to be the finishing touch to this window about the more extreme aspects of the fight for women's votes. Window smashing was a key activity at the time with Westminster being targeted most often. To reflect this I smashed some of the panels in my window and will attach the hammer from the bottom. This with any luck will resemble a emergence call point. 

The smashed panels are coated in Matt cote to preserve they're structure.

Penny Dreadful (Exhibition sign)

The completed sign for my exhibition is ready in record time. Fitted in a steel frame which can be hung for underneath the Archive Gallery sign.

At its center the window holds a 1960's Britannia penny.

 The renovation of the gallery is almost complete and i have all the ideas i need to put a show together....only the hard graft  left to do.
