I've been really busy in the space and haven't had a chance to add any new posts so this will be a long one!
I found some plastic lights from rollercoaster tracks and arranged it in a corner of the space, I really wanted a theme park element within the space so I'm pretty happy, I like the way the arrangement glows in the light.
I changed the carpet so there is only the longest piece, which means it now has a gentle curve, kind of like when children make hiding places with blankets over sofas.
I had some pink tiles I fished out of a skip and used these to create an interesting floor arrangement in a corner. I felt it was a little sparse so I added a branch from the trees next to the space and some bangles from 'Claire's accessories'. I think the people that work in the shops in Margate think I'm a bit loopy (buying 20 beachballs and 30 bangles is not very sane).
I decided to move the mirror from the carpet to the swing. I felt it wasn't particularly working and it seemed to really help the swing piece to come to life.
Finally (!) I went to buy some bulldog clips to hang the collage properly but Margate is rubbish and I ended up buying a pack of assorted multi-coloured clips reduced in WH Smith for 99p. Realising that they would not work for hanging the collage, I made circles form them and hung them on the wall. They look a little like catherine wheels or like mini versions of the big wheel that used to be in Margate. The shadows created on the walls from them look really interesting.
