Spent today at the Butterfly Park, I went to let one of my artists, Karon, in to have a second look so she could draw up some designs.
Kids off for Easter so I thought as it was a gorgeous sunny day they could come with, took a load of Easter Eggs and hid them so the kids were kept busy for an hour – FAB!
Had a wander and a play, found some hazel branches by the compost heap and decided to try and make a wigwam type structure.
I had some wire and string in the car (always have stuff with me in case I feel the need to make things) and using a branch of a tree as support have started to form the skeleton of the ‘twigwam’.
Back on Sunday to do some more. I don’t want to have a cover over it and i don’t want it looking iike a willow sculpture at all so I think I might hang things from it.
Will use fishing wire tied to the cross branches and hang things that I find in the Park, so stones, bits of brick,twigs,dead leaves,feathers etc.
Have no idea if it will work yet but it was a fantastic way to while away half a day in the sun.
Managed to spot a Peacock and a Comma Butterfly as well as a yellow ladybird and finally got a photograph of the blue snail.
