A session where we spent a while realising that we couldn't cut the tyre up due to metal being in the ring, so have borrowed a hacksaw off Ros...
I have the keys for the space tomorrow, so plan to begin decorating: painting; varnishing; attaching day.
I have gathered a lovely conversation on audio.
Ros suggested weaving and loving the sun catchers, also wanting some for the green house....and potential idea to set up some workshops for those who come to the group on the day/watching me make and inviting to collaborate....also on the days of the art trail too!
Additionally, B loves quizzes and Ros suggested collaborating as a group on a big gardening quiz for people to come to on one of the days of the art trail to take part in, and it celebrates and incorporates B, one of the creators too!
Lastly, such a beautiful thing that both B and S said they have the thank you pyrographed benches in their homes....S has his up right in the living room, and B gave his to his grandma who has it up on her mantlepiece. This is very moving.
And Ros said that this project has engaged people in so many levels like never before, which is so affirming.
