Dear Friends,
At long last a piece of work that I have been doing with a school is complete and I couldn't be happier!
It climbs the stairs from reception to the first landing on its' way to the art room and library.
It has taken a long time to complete and I felt quite shivery with the thrill of seeing it upright in position.
Naturally I have been working on it on the flat surface of the studio tables - no wonder artists paint on an easel - the perspective is entirely different.
Of course we had to add some sheep - a little person in Grade 3 said " We have to have sheep Miss Armstrong out art is made out of wool!"
Is that entirely groovy or what?
Hope your week is going really well
Love
Elizabeth
WOW!!!!! This is amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara,
DeleteYou can imagine how much longer it would have taken if I had had to make all the felt by myself!
All those little hands together have made it possible.
Cheers, Elizabeth
