Can’t believe I haven’t been blogging, just told our artist this month Iain Broadley on facebook that he should be blogging and realised I haven’t either haha. Pot/Kettle/Black
Anyway……………..
This month has been mad. Work is crazy busy and I have to fit in the things I do for the Comma Project when I can, haven’t been near my studio in weeks and the kids aren’t getting the best out of me.
Juggling is so hard.
However, the Comma Project just gets better and better, I wish I had more time to spend working on it. Fortunately, Iain has looked after himself and my trusty team of volunteers are fabulous and can manage without me, the shop had to be closed 2 days last week but a lot of shops in New Ferry are only open 5 days a week so I have to not feel guilty.
Iains project is fantastic fun, it’s all about bugs and habitats! Bug liberation. He’s made masses of different bug models from all kinds of recycled materials. We have a real wormery and an ant city too. Giant underpants claiming ‘ants in yer pants’ in the window got people in through the door or just laughing outside.
We had a workshop last week where Iain showed people how to make seed bombs and it was great, loads turned up, got very messy and had lots of fun.
This coming Sunday we have a moss graffiti workshop. Starting out in the shop preparing the recipe, then we’ll paint on the tiny wall under the windows of the shop. We’ve put a call out to see if anyone in New Ferry wants some moss painting on their walls, I hope so but we’re also going up to the local farm and painting on their walls then going strawberry picking after – praying for good weather!!
its great to see so many people enjoying the space now, cant believe how quickly the project has gone. Only 2 more projects after this :( will be sad to see it end. Who knows what might pop up in the meantime though hey?
