WILLOW SCULPTURE

Willow and tissue paper is very versatile, strong and very light and it can be used to create a wonderful range of shapes and sizes.

SEA-MONSTER

This was part of a project run by Creative Partnerships called 'Footprints', and culminated in a huge exhibition at the prestigious Castle Museum in Norwich.

I worked with St Augustines Primary School and our contribution was an enormous (life-sized!) flying dragon, which, during the exhibition, was suspended from the ceiling of the museum. The sea monster is made of circles, representing scales, linked together, and everyone in the school made a circle.

OTHER ANIMALS

Other animals can be constructed on a smaller scale, particular favourite's include fish, butterflies, dragonflies and birds which can all be painted bright colours.
