“connecting our community”
This week we started to install our stories from isolation sculptures. Don’t they look gorgeous grouped together in front of our new ramp!
Haha … it looks like I’ve been doing all the work in this pic. Actually Lee has been doing most of it! Thanks for taking the photo Mish.
Cute huh? We can’t wait for these to be installed in our garden! We’re thinking our little community clusters might go in front of our new ramp.
Stories from isolation … we’re a doggy neighbourhood so we couldn’t leave the fur babies out!
We’ve got a new yarn bombing project coming up with our Community Craft! group. It is going to have a number of elements, and one of them is lengths of double finger knitting. So today we’re sharing a video about how to double finger knit - if you (or your children/grandchildren) would like to join in. This is a great crafty activity for all ages.
It is pretty much the same as single finger knitting, BUT is makes a much bulkier product (particularly if you use a nice bulky wool) with a looser weave. And is much quicker to make a substantial length!
If you feel inspired then have a go and drop your creations in to us. We’ll have a box near the front door.
Here’s the video to show you how to start off, and keep going …
Pretty cute huh?
And … do you by any chance have any shelf brackets hanging around in your shed that you don’t need (see example image below). We need at least 10 sets. Nice big ones. For feet, and to secure these statues to a base so they stand up. If you do, please drop them past ACC!
Many thanks.
Last week we invited people to pick up a piece of wood and decorate it with stories from isolation, for our new community art project.
Here’s a little video explaining what it is all about.
Some stories that have been dropped off already. We’re looking forward to getting the rest of them back!
