it's not that i don't want to take them up on site specific installations, charity sculpture challenges, etc etc it's just there isn't room in my head to form up what I am supposed to be doing. I guess it is like schoolkids doing GCSE continuous assessment, you never know when you are finished. Give me a 3 hour exam any day. No i don't mean that, never again, i laid down my last exam paper some years back and swore I would never do that again. 
Tutor suggests I could also make a textile sculpture..........with some of my rusted fabric. And paint a life size portrait. Any volunteers. Much too cold for a nude.

I can't salute the sun any more - get rather stuck when trying to rise gracefully from 'downward dog!" Getting out of the bath is becoming hazardous.
I think a large 'storyboard' might be fun. A strip cartoon of the day in a life of an older woman. The ungraceful bits, the fun bits (lunching out with friends, um... must be something else.... Standing at the door of a room wondering why I went there. Nostalgic flash-backs... watching grandchildren... )it's a bit of a narrative and probably what I do rather than what you do? Not sure how decorative it would be. Probably a textile sculpture sounds more integrated.
I reiterate my admiration for all you are accomplishing. I love the women on paper and in clay.
I'm too far away to offer as a model.
Seriously... What about your mother? Other ideas I had are local librarians, supermarket checkouters, you in a mirror, someone from a magazine.
