Diamond Jubilee Souvenir Making @ Battersea Park

Here are some handmade souvenirs that I made at the Battersea Park Diamond Jubilee Festival today.  A large tent had tables set up with lots of different creative and exciting things to make including cameos, sashes and crowns.  There was an opportunity to embellish a second hand silk scarf which the organisers had silk screen printed the queens face on.  Everything was free with the request that you made a donation to OXFAM.  It was a real success and a hive of activity, thank you.

The tent has a facebook page which you can like: www.facebook.com/DiamondJubileeSouvenirToasting

I visited one of my friends from university who is a painter living in Norfolk.  I took these pictures of her studio and her new work.  Her name is Francesca Perkins and this is her website: www.francescafineart.com

Olympics Animation created by 600 school children

This is an amazing animation created at my school by students in year 7, 8 and 9 (age 11-14).  Each student was given at least 3 frames which they drew on in their own individual way.  The result is an incredibly exciting, vivid and entertaining animation which advertises the Olympics perfectly!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

happy mother's day

a new design especially for my mum...
