Artwork for new body of work

I've been starting the artwork for my new body of work.  I'm thinking about cleaners at public toilets. I can't use any actual inspiration from the Liverpool Street location, because I don't have the ethics form sorted out yet.  But I can start drawing objects from that environment that inspire me.
Other people in art class are working on landscape, animals and flowers - and I suspect they all think I am a bit strange when I start drawing toilet utensils!

Collage of my toilet brush.  
Cleaner's rubber glove

Wet floor warning sign.

These will be useful materials for a concertina sketchbook created from collage.

First print from linocut.  I like the dark quality
Selective print from Linocut.  I like the definition of the object, and the noise of the background

Print on dressmaking pattern

I like this dark outer area.  The pale inner area has potential to be worked into.

Cleaning fluid bottle - draw with two media , using right and left hands

Draw your object, using your neighbour's chosen media - ink and stick, then spritz

Draw your object, using two media (w/c with palette knife and graphite stick)
using right and left hands at the same time,
Then add a detail (coloured line) with another tool (credit card)
Draw different object, using 2 media (w/c with brush and graphite) at the same time
