What’s new in the park?
Not a lot, it’s been a while since I have paid a visit.
However…in the background, lots of things have been happening.
Emma Kemp has submitted her design for the trail, it sounds fantastic. An interactive percussion installation. Can’t wait to see it now.
I have contacted a possible laser etching person, through a friend who is a memorial mason (thanks to Rob Turner for that idea) It seems somehow that it’s not what you know…
SO this guy is also a memorial mason but has just invested in a laser etching machine and so I have to draw some work up for him to try out and then we go from there. Haven’t discussed cost yet but he also needs an artist to draw up some memorial stone ideas so a deal may well be done. :)
I have completed the design for one of the benches and am in the process of organising some steel to be cut and etched as a back rest,may turn out a bit expensive but we shall see. My trusty husband will have to help me make it as I can’t even lift one of the railway sleepers, those things are crazy heavy!
I’m meeting Karon at the park on Thursday so will be doing some land art on that day, I had a mad idea the other day that may just work but I’m unsure yet so watch this space.
Then its another clearing/weeding day on Sunday with the volunteers and the AGM on Monday, thats the day I get to talk about the open day and plans for the summer months with the people who run the Butterfly Park.
This week will mainly be me trying to be a graphic designer – posters,flyers and booklets to be designed. I have friends who are real graphic designers, wonder if I should call in a favour?
