Charity Shop Chess

Reet Ho... 




Our first project of this term is based around charity shops, had to nip out to a charity shop and buy something that really caught our eye and we felt a connection to.


After going to two different towns and about 8 different charity shops, I went into this really cute little vintagey type store, unlike anything I've seen before, with tonnes of lovely little trinkets. 
Anyway in the end I went for the CUTEST pocket chess set, that was clearly very old and well used. I've even had a little play with it with one of my friends (probably should have been drawing it not playing with it). Here's a few of my shots!






Aren't they sweet!! :) 
Hopefully I can expand upon this and come up with some good concepts and ideas for my project - I was thinking maybe little people, like the borrowers. Or chess championships OR craftsmanship.
