Wye Lanterns 2011

Great to meet and help people make some lovely lantern creations for Wye lantern procession 2011, part of the Wye Bonfire night celebrations. Lovely to meet up with some old faces and what a night! Yes it was cold, it was windy, it drizzled but the lanterns looked spectacular! (and most survived the weather conditions). They looked soooo magical as we wound our way up to the crown. Take a look at the workshops and some final creations:
