Bowes Museum

 

The Anticipation was riveting. Each viewers breathe held on a knife edge, waiting, waiting, anticipating. The key holder with his jovial patter cranked the delicate mechanism that is only wound up once daily because of her aged delicacy. It was awe on everyone's mind. The Silver Swan turned her head, she turned it back, she bowed to chomp a fish and that was it!!!. However one must remember that in the eighteen fifty's such a feet would have been the jewel of British craftsmanship, and every viewer would have been spellbound by this magic. One of the earliest working mechanism of British craftsmanship and fine silver workmanship...

 

 

Cakes, buns and coconut covered jellies. Reproduction model making at it's best, Lifelike!!

 

I loved this gown but sadly I have no information to share about it. it's elegant, refined and accentuates the female form to her best

 

The gem of the Bowes Museum. Finely crafted by students from Cleveland College Of Art and Design CCAD. This garment, dress, reproduction of a time gone by reflecting Cultural Materials for which we are about to discover!!

Creating The Blog

First things first, you need to create a google or gmail account. They are both the same thing. go to google.co.uk and either sign in or sign up and follow the instructions. I choose juliettehunt@gmail.com however that name had already been taken so I had to go with juliettehunt2013@gmail.com

 

 

Once you've chosen your Google/Gmail email address you hold a Google passport to their portfolio of services which includes Blogger. Don't forget to record your new Google/Gmail account and password

 

Now your signed in to your new account or existing Google/Gmail account, hit "More", "Blogger"

 

Now your moving into Blogger which is a Google service so you need to decide on a Blogger title name, this can be your email address name if its still available or a completely different title. Your Blog address will be displayed like this www.thetitleyouchoose.blogspot.com. mine became www.juliettehunt.blogspot.com

Now we can change template's for the Blog. The basic principle of a Blog is that various templates are pre made for you to build your web page with. the templates have windows for you to add content like headers, pictures, links and various other web based features. However dealing with these right now if your new to web building might seem daunting so forget about those for now. All we are looking for is a basic blog to get us up and going. Go to template's and click any of the available choices, it will display a preview of the one you click. Once you find one suitable confirm it.
