Dane Valley/Sure Start Mural


Oh this was a great one, I really like taking kids drawings and making them bigger. I loved the legs on the sheep, they are just skipping along...as they do!

Dane Valley Sure Start Mural - Open workshops with kids to design and paint their own board around the building site of the new Sure Start Building to discourage graffiti and to brighten the place up. OK so on this particular day, there were no kids and three artists with paint......so what can you expect! Got sunstroke from painting in bright sunlight on white boards....had to use tarpaulin as a tent.

Home Education Pom Poms

Made these with some kids educated at home - it was a nice group, but oh how they moaned as I showed them how to weave the wool through the card. 'It takes aaages!' and 'is it nearly there?' rang out in the class every few minates. It took alot of encouragement and small talk - but it was well worth it, the faces of the kids when they were finally put them together - were bursting with pride and surpise. The animals seem to look a bit surprised to be here too!
