The cotton sample has now totally dried. Here it is sitting on my DH's PC.
Now you can also have a closer look. Unlike the silk, now it is dried you can not tell that this fabric has a hardener on !!! 
Anyway I spent some time working on the copper weave to add some embroidery. Being copper you can not use a hoop and you have to be very careful not to bend the copper as you stitch !!
Here is a close up of the copper stitching =) 
It took a little time to mould the copper into a simular shape to that made by the drying cotton !
AND FINALLY - the three pieces were install outside. I really think they look like three pieces of fabric have been dropped bit have not quite settled. I have added a few rocks to the edge of the copper sheet to ensure if does not blow away ! This was Saturday morning.... since then we have had LOTS of rain and the last time I popped out to check everything was still in place and looking very much as you see above although wetter !!! =)
Another photo next week and each week as the pieces live in that spot !!
Truely "public art"...well if the public came round my back garden .

These look fantastic. You are right, they do look as if they have just been dropped but not settled - very clever. Be really interesting to see if and how they weather.
