Chapter 11 - Making a structure related to Media

I know...it's about time! I can't believe it's 6 months since I last added to my blog! I did have a very uncreative period earlier in the year and since then some health issues to get my head around. Hopefully now I'm back on track. So eventually here is my assessment piece for module 4, which is completely different to my original idea but I feel suits my research and was fun to make. The idea is to keep my travel souvenirs inside the pyramid. Can't wait to start module 5!!
