Positively onward!

Well - the dentists work is a bit scratchy, but it isn`t finished yet so I will put up with it until March!!  Tuesday - I was full and brimming over with ideas and continued to work on the candle piece, with more candles and more money.  I`m not totally sure whether this will evolve any further - we`ll see.   I particularly like this composition - reminds me how we burn money sometimes.



I did aquire an ingredient which I believe is essential for my piece and so Wednesday it was added, although to the untrained eye it could just be debris.


It is the smell that takes the mind back to the time of regular church visits.

Candle wax and ...................?


`Lightworks` and the activity table is under discussion - there are several ideas for lanterns and I believe maybe two at the most should be adopted - we hope to be prepared for at least 200 visitors and not to disappoint any of the children who want to take part in the making and colouring of the lanterns.  If we have templates ready it will be possible to cater for all I think.  We hope to have other activities too.  Possibly a shadow play area for the older children.   Personally I would love to get the children making a 3D piece out of paper loops.  A 4ft-5ft Garden cane could be threaded through with loops which could be expanded by the kids who could where possible decorate and add their own length of loops  to the loop curtain. Only Pritt stick glue and felt tips would be needed - we already have till rolls that can be easily cut to size - an art piece in action!!

We`ll have to discuss further at the `LIGHTWORKS` 2012 meeting tomorrow.
Don`t miss it.

A Presto!
