creative past

went on a little walk down memory lane
this morning
& so i thought i'd take the moment
to say hi to a few people!
there are lots of artistic relics
from my time as art teacher still about
which i was very pleased to see
 lots of changes but it seems a happier place
let me tell you a little about these pics i snapped in a hurry
there are a number of mosaics on doors & walls & in the gardens
around the early childhood centre
made by the 3 & 4 year old kinder groups 
with a little help from me
&
the quilt you spied
... do you notice a little sunflower theme here??
a great way to start a year with the happy yellow
sun flower faces of summer
the quilt has hundreds of hand drawn & painted baby sized sunflowers
created by the children over a time frame
of about 5 years 
then each of those star blocks were hand sewn together
by lots of the mums ...
& then i sewed the whole thing together
just one of the very many massive all-in type
projects i used to do with my eyes closed!!
& more colour mixing exploring learning canvases
with a circle theme
& lovely glass beads all strung up like water falling
was nice to visit
