a few more potential ideas.

i wanted to try and develop a idea where i could concentrate on figurative work, as i feel this is my strength. developing on the collage clothing technique i have used in previous projects and 

taking inspiration from the notebook idea where i would add drawings of things that relate to marie carie,  i thought about adding these elements to her clothing as either a repeated pattern or a single pattern on a block silhouette of her clothing. 

 i also found out in my research when marie invented radioactive therapy, 'radioactive' products where very popular as they were believed to be good for the skin etc. in the thumbnail above i have draw out a few of these products as simple line drawings, i quite like the simple geometric layout of the products, and think this would be a nice design idea for either the post cards or the stamps. next to the radioactive products i have thumb nailed the same layout but using science equipment which will/may have been used by marie curie.

conceptual reference

found here
i like the layout of this piece, simple, yet interesting and detailed. if all the products where draw overlapping or closer together i don't think this piece would work aswell. 

above is another thumb of a idea which incorporates facts i have found out about radiotherapy. again using the idea of silhouettes of Curies clothing, and either blocking it off as a shape and filling in the shape with the written acts or using the written facts to create a sihoutte shape of the clothing.
