Work,rest and not much play!!!

I've been working in quite alot of schools lately - after school clubs and one day workshops. We made recycled flowers  for one school[s outside space, a chinese tiger for another school's international day and the first welldressing of the year for 2 schools who have been working with Groundwork on a tram traveller's project.
After this I certainly appreciated a soak in the bath using some of the lovely soaps and bath bombs I got for Mothers Day  and nice latte made for me in this smart new machine which has recently appeared in my kitchen.              

Well dressing design approved....

I finally finished the design for the well dressing I am doing in a couple of weeks at the Honey bee Festival. I don't do so much illustration anymore and find it a bit of a struggle to "get my hand in" The design had to reflect the theme of the festival and I was going to offer 2 designs to choose from, but in the end I only had time to do one , which luckily was well recieved. I scanned it into Photoshop so I can start playing around with different colours. See my earlier posts 31st March and 1st April if you want to know a bit more about welldressing and what it involves

Preparation of the welldressing

We made the welldressing today with 56 children from Year 5. It was a very busy day and we all had to work very hard to finish it by the end of the school day. The children did an excellent job as you can see.
