Normally I blog at least<\/em> once a week, but I hope you will forgive me for\u00a0 the longer than normal gap….it has just been so lovely to read your comments after the launch of my new site – all your words have been truly received. I have been touched by the feedback (both on and offline) and encouraged by how many of you have said that the new site is\u00a0 a great resource to you – that is so <\/em>what I want it to be! Thank you all.<\/p>\n

Before I announce the winners of the giveaway (drum roll….!), I just want to show you some pictures of the\u00a0 community mosaics that children and parents of the Wandsworth Early Years Service are making with the help of yours truly.<\/p>\n

When this project was hatched, I felt glee<\/em> at the prospect of helping to create giant mosaic ladybirds, snails and bees. Whilst it is seriously hard physical work prepping a project like this (picture me covered in cement dust from cutting the insects, and with bits of tile in…ehm!…the folds of my clothes) this kind of project is just bound to bring out the inner child.<\/p>\n

The utter concentration and enthusiasm of the parents and children at our first making session was just wonderful (I had to usher them out for a tea break!). We have two more sessions to finish our bugs and butterflies before they are all installed in the centre garden. I will post some tips on doing this kind of\u00a0 project soon…<\/p>\n

Now, for those of you who have been holding your breath to find out if you have won a year long place on Amelia’s Experimental Art E-Course<\/a> or one of my Mosaic Hearts<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each entrants name was written on a piece of paper and folded (spot the UV lamp on the left – pressie from my beloved last Christmas, to keep the happy hormones flowing during the dark winter!). There were exactly 100 entrants,\u00a0 and two beautiful assistants to pull the names out of the hat!<\/p>\n

And the winners are….for the Experimental Art E-Course:<\/p>\n
